I know exactly what your going through. I used to be friends with this chick that was just like one of the guys. We had so much in common and were best friends. But then i developed feelings for her and she started seeing my house mate and she started using me because she new i'd do anything for her. It ended our friendship which was very hard for me to deal with. its hard to be friends with someone you have feelings for. I hope things work out for you.

I'm there for you, Moxy.

I'm sorry you have to go through this and that people act that way towards you. It's not right. I think the ultimate version of a relationship is when you're both in love and friends at the same time. It's hard to reach that point though because we usually classify everyone we know into those categories. It's hard to blur the lines, but I think that when you do it becomes the most amazing thing.

Who knows.

ouch that sucks! hope he gets it... its probably very hard for him to see you just as a friend

sucky, i hate it when feelings get in the way and wreck friendships. that's tough

I hate when that sort of thing happens--love isn't suppose to be forced, it's not love if it is. I did end up with my best friend though, and it worked out great--we're getting married next year. Sometimes, two people just aren't meant to be, but once those feelings are surfaced, it's hard to take things back to normal, as sad as that is. it sucks to loose good friends over, well, anything really--I've lost so many, they all just changed.

Hopefully, he can come to realize that being your friend is enough--kinda like in Family guy with Lois and Brian....holy shit, I just referenced Family Guy in a real life scenario...that's terrible. If he can't, then he's loosing something special. hope that helps
