Who else - whether it was during childhood, adolescence, or adulthood - has fallen in love with a straight best friend?
Is anyone currently in love with a straight friend?
It's hard for me to tap into those feelings now, but I remember it being really bad. I found a "journal" entry I wrote at some point during high school, complete with faggy self pity and teenage purple prose, and I figured it could be my contribution:
>The secrecy of it is really hurting me. It's this sense of leading a double life, like the chasm between my inner self and my outer self is growing too wide and my soul, for lack of a better word, is being deformed in the process. It's unfair to both of us. My friend deserves to know how his best friend feels about him, and I deserve to not have this constant ache, this sinking sensation in my stomach and this heavy throbbing in my chest, this weird compulsion caused by my one-sided devotion to be obsequious toward him, to not stand up for myself, because I always feel like I'm doing something wrong. Because why else would he not love me back?

I remember trying to come on to my straight best friend the first time we did mushrooms together, didn't work but it was worth a shot.

I'm trans and yeah I fell in love with him. I'll never tell him though. I would rather just feel the way I do than get rejected and make things awkward.

I enjoyed reading that OP. pretty relatable.
I'm an ftm but as a "girl" I fell in love with a female friend of mine and was obsessive about her for like...6 years or so. I don't recall writing anything but some very vague poetry about it, and doing alot of abstract drawings to express my gay angst. We would sleep over at eachothers houses alot and I always arranged things so we would end up sharing a bed, and then I would stay awake hoverhanding her shoulder for hours. Years later, as adults, after I had grown out of this crush, we were hanging out and she pulled a shoebox out from under her bed and opened it and she had kept every single drawing and note I had ever given to her. Muh fucking heart.

About 10 years ago I started working at a company and another guy started the same time. We began to hang out together, have lunch together, etc... He knew I was gay and I knew he was straight (he was married with kids).
Over the years we became very close. We golfed together, had dinners together when we worked late and shared a lot of personal stuff.
Recently he began the divorce process with his wife, moved out of his house and crashed at my place sleeping on the couch. So many nights I wanted to go out to him and sleep with him but knowing he was straight made me stop.
I was on the verge of telling him how I felt hoping that now he was divorcing I might have a chance, maybe he harbored gay feelings deep down inside. But while we were talking he brought up how he had met a nice woman at a conference the day before and they're going out to dinner this weekend. I felt crushed.
I used to be. It was my sexual awakening at the age of 12 or 13 when I realized I had feelings for a guy, and this guy happened to be a very close friend. We went to movies and ate together and spent a lot of time doing stuff we both liked. I would test him by "accidentally" putting my hand in the popcorn container while at movies and quickly pulled it off to make it look like I hadn't notice his hand was already there, etc. He didn't react to those, but instead talked about how he likes girls so much he would be a lesbian if he was a girl. It lasted for 6 years, but then I had the chance to leave him behind and now I just think of him as a handsome guy who introduced me to anime.
I've always had a huge crush on my best friend and I always tried to express it by "jokingly" hugging him, putting my arm around him etc, but I guess he caught on because one time I put my arm around him and he yelled at me and said he wasn't gay. I almost cried desu

You should have encouraged her into pseudobisexuality if you wanted to get together.
I was in love with my straight friend this time last year. I'm getting over it now, but not totally there yet. I miss having her in my life though, even as a friend, so I don't know if I should try to start hanging out with her again or just cut ties and move on.

Pretty sure most of us have been in that boat at least once.
I still am.
For 7 years.

I know right? Poor Juri.

shiori is a bitch but she's closeted too. that's why she fixates so heavily on juri: why she has to beat juri, why juri has to pay attention to her, why she runs off to ruka. cut her a little slack.

What makes you think she's closeted?
Happened to me and it fucking destroyed me. She ended up getting a worthless bf I completely despised and would constantly brag about him and ask for advice, but I always put on a happy face. She ultimately stopped spending time with me so she could be with him more.
