Dear Dr. TRuth, I am an eighteen year-old male with a four year old problem. I am in love with my one of my best friends. At least I think I am in love with her. When I first met her, I really didn't like her. She was always so annoying. But then we got to know each other better and she sort of grew on me. Not very long after I started to get to know her, I started to think about her romantically. Soon after, we became like brother and sister, always together. And my feelings have done nothing but grown since then. It took me about a year to work up the courage to tell her about the feelings I had for her. When I finally did, she told me that we had too good of a friendship, that she didn't want to ruin it, that I was like a brother to her and that she couldn't feel that way for me. But I just can't shake this feeling. Several times the pain I feel has grown so strong that I needed to take a 'vacation' from her, which just gave my mind time to fantasize about how great she is and how someday she has to give me a shot. But when I am away from her for so long, I miss her to the point where the only thing I want to do is be with her. No matter how much it hurts to know she doesn't feel the same way. I have actually cried about this almost a hundred times. The only advice I have gotten so far is to 'get over it', and if I could, I would. But I can't. I think that the reason I can't get over this is because I can't let go of the hopes that some day, she may change her mind. And I truly believe that if she did feel the same, I would marry her in a heartbeat. And there I go again with the 'ifs'. I'm sure that you get alot of mail, and what's going on in my world doesn't affect you, but please, help me. Thank you, X-treme pain |
