Hey,

Okay this is a situation about me and my best male friend ever. Basically he's confessed that he's in love with me and I love him to bits too just not as more than a friend. He means so much to me and he has been there for me through thick and thin. I have so much respect for him. When he was telling me how he feels he was saying everything right. He's such a catch ladies he is honestly every girls dream he has the whole package hes a true gentleman and has so much respect for women.

The thing is im in love with somebody else who sadly isnt in love with me. I've told him this and now he's torn apart. I feel awful I dont want to lose him he means so much to me I dont know what to do.

I just cant shake the guy im in love with off. It would be unfair to enter a relationship when my feelings for another are so strong I really dont know what to do.

Advice please, thankyou

Just end it. End the friendship. Hes going to start to hate you give some time because he'll grow frustrated at the fact of why you dont love him. Don't string him along and grow a spine. Most of the enswers here seem right only those that seem wrong hold truth because it feels good to be liked by someone so you decide to be inconciderate and selfish. U dont love him you're just lonely. When you leave him your mind will be clear. Youll finally know that youre in the same position with your ex and youll realize this and forget about him. And after all that ull finally know what love feels like.

You have to look deep into your heart and think about who you really want to be with, deep down you know this choice, think about the future, the passed and present, and where it has brought you today. Just tell him how you feel and what you want to do, communication is more important then anything. I am going through the same situation, i told her i loved her but she doesnt want a relationship, but we are still friends and il be there for her no matter what, even if she doesn't love me back, because true love is unconditional.

ItsEmma agony auntExplain it to your friend. Tell him how much he means to you, and make sure to tell him that you love him, but not that way. You would obviously hate to lose him as a friend, and I think he would hate to lose you to, he's just feeling hurt right now. I mean, he confessing his feelings to the girl he's in love with and then got turned down-- of course he's going to be hurting. I think if you just explain to him the situation, he'll understand.

Best of luck!
