She's my close friend, but I want to get over my romantic feelings for her

A few questions about close friendship with a girl

We have an intensely close and deep friendship.

We have gone out for dinner together, spent time with each other on every possible occasion.

She's been there for me through very tough times.

In the past I have been attracted to her but she rejected me.

We are very close friends, so I want to get over the romantic feelings. Help?

There is another girl I am close to and dated once, but the girl I mention above...we spent so much time together a bond was inevitable.

I can't NOT spend time with her. She is still my best friend in the world.

Sadly, she also exactly fits the profile of my dream woman.

It isn't based on her...she helped change it a bit, but she fitted exactly what i would have looked for in a partner.

dobro is verified as being by the original poster of the question

dobro agony auntI would I can be happy for her. It would be tough though.

She knows how I felt or feel for her. I don't know why she rejected me.

I'd really like to think she could develop feelings for me, but when she has rejected me...(twice - I tried again with her because she was showing more signs...)

I don't see it. Still, it would be nice to have a certainty in our friendship.

I did date someone once. She was pleased for me them it seems.

angelDlite agony aunti think you should definately remain friends with her. you have accepted that she does not feel the same. you cannot just turn your feelings off like a switch so do not try to rush yourself into stopping your romantic feelings. it will happen when it happens. why did she reject you? do you think there is a chance that she may start to have romantic feelings towards you? does she know that you have these feelings for her? while you remain friends you will both probably meet other partners, i hope you can be happy for each other when this happens.
