I recently became friends with someone a few months ago. It seemed to be mostly fine but after a while I started falling for him (I'm also a guy but we're both bi). I told him how I felt but he didn't feel the same way so we're still just really close friends.

I thought I could get over these feelings but they just keep resurfacing any time I spend time with him, which is quite often. He's probably the closest friend I've had in a long time. I'm really not sure how to deal with this, he's a really good friend and I want to keep that but at the same time I'm just going to keep having these unrequited feelings.

And even if he did decide to return those feelings it wouldn't work, I know him well enough to realize that now. He's a pretty flirty person (I don't think he realizes it himself) and he's talked to me about other people that confessed too (before I said anything). I can tell this wouldn't work.

I'm not really sure what I'm asking here. Is it okay to keep being close friends with him while working to move past these feelings? Even though I'm basically friendzoned.
