A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

i fell in love with my best friend, wed know each other for 6 months she was new and we got really close really fast. i finally asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. we went out for a month and a half. all we did we talk about how we never talked like we use to or argue or storm off.i broke it off a few days ago and we both understood there was no point going on if we would just keep fighting like that. so a day later, i get(slightly tipsy) call her in the middle of the night and then text her telling her how i still had feelings for her and that i was an idoit for breaking up with her. but my fingers didnt write what i wanted them to so what she got made no sense. so we talked today, and i told her everything that i liked about her and that if we gave it another shot that everythign would be ok, and told her to write me back if she thought i wasnt crazy for wanting to give it another shot. she replied with this

"Well once again my brain is flat. i dont know how to say this but il try. at the moment i dont want a boyfriend especially you, what i raelly want is though is the old (my name) back, my msna dn splash buddy. cheesey as it sounds i would like to be friends aagin,even though i think we sorta screwed that up, i think we still have a shot a being like we used to be.friends. i understand if you don't text back"

so my question is how do i fall out love quickly so that we can still have the friendship we had before if thats even possible?

ebi510 agony auntThe answer is, "You cant" ever go back to the way things were. You either need to completely stop seeing each other if you cant get over the hurt feeling of the love you once felt. Or if you feel you can get past that, start a completely new friendship and build from there.

Transcowboy agony auntIm going though the same thing. It just depends how solid your friendship was before you got envovoled. Some people can go back to being friends after it is all said and done, and i hope that you two are able to do that, i would just tell you to meet her somewhere and tell her that your friendship means the world to you and just tell her how u feel. You can still love someone deeply and be friends with them, trust me on this. You just have to tell your heart how it is. If you have any questions or need more help i will be more then happy to help.
