So, I'm in love with a friend. The problem is, i know i cant move it forward. We're better off as friends than anything more.
The issue is, I'm in this weird limbo between loving spending time with her, and feeling like shit afterwards for not being able to express my feelings completely to her.
Do i cut off a good friendship because i cant control the way i feel? Or in other words, is there anyway i can keep this friendship and kill my feelings for her?

Why exactly can't you express your feelings for her?
>>18259954
Wouldn't it just make things awkward?
>>18259965
Does she have a boyfriend?
>>18259946
I was in a similar situation I had to cut things off with her because I couldn't stop liking her desu... It was really obvious that she liked someone else also...
>>18259972
Nope
Nah just cut off with her for two weeks and youll be fine

I tried that for a week last month and she got really worried and started asking our mutual friends what was happening. She started blaming herself, which prompted me to talk to her again. I don't want her to think that it's her fault when it's all me. She's really awesome, i just can't control my feelings.

Just start being more friendlier with her.(Not the autistic friendly) Take her out to eat. Ask her how her day was. Just act like your more interested in her. Beware it can go wrong very quickly. You have to be skillful. Don't be autistic

I don't think dating her will be good for either of us right now. She's getting over a pretty abusive relationship and I'm leaving the country in a couple of months (although we're gonna be in the same country again from September onwards)

I don't want things to escalate though. I want things to stay the same except without the emotional self torture.
Find a new girl to like.
>>18259946
Just tell her already. LOL.
Things are either "take it or leave it" situation. Well do that if you think both of you can handle the situation.

Now anon, tell us how not to be autistic when approaching women.

I don't know I'm a KHV.
I went through the same thing, you have to tell her your feelings before it eats you alive. It hurts now but what if she gets a boyfriend? Can you imagine them fucking? Her getting married? What if a mutual friend starts chatting her up? I had those thoughts all day everyday until I finally said something, got rejected and moved on.
Try not to kill yourself, it hurts a lot by the way if it doesn't work out.
I had a crush on this girl in high school. I knew she had a boyfriend, but I confessed my feelings anyway because I don't want to be left with the 'what if' feeling

That's the thing, we're close enough now that we openly talk about other people we find hot or whatever. But, everytime she tells me about some guy she has a vague crush on, i feel like shit. Or when she tells me things about her exes.
Anyway, I'm gonna talk to her today to try and get how I'm feeling across, then I'm flying out of the country for a week. We'll see how things are when i get back. Hopefully I'm less obsessed.
