Finally...

thinks's picture

I'm going to copy and past bits of a conversation I had with a girl who is my friend that I just recently had. It is about the friend it has become apparent I am in love with.

I left his place feeling more alone than I did when I walked in.

To top that off he knows I'm gay. He doens't make a big deal about it or anything but I feel like that further seperates us.

I want the friendship I'm not getting something I want from but get hurt when I don't get the whatever it is I want and then when I'm away all I can think about is being back there doing something with him and that hurts too... which one do I need to pick?

Here's something the girl I was chatting with said: "thats because u like him 4 more then a friend."

Then I said: well it needs to stop. It's causing all sorts of problems.
I don't think it's healthy for me, and its obviously unreciprocated.

Part of me truly believes that if i just did my best to leave his life that he wouldn't miss me.

I don't want do distance myself from him, but I don't know how just playing it cool like everything is normal is going to help when it is apparent that I need more than what I'm EVER going to get from him.

She said: "Let it develop on its own."

I said: Even that is hard. Spending time with him just normally like I did today hurt more than being away from him for a WHOLE month.

I want to cry and scream with anger both at the same time.

Anyway as I'm sure you have guessed I got to do something with my good friend today, but despite the good time I had it was torture.

I'm going to try and go to the new Indiana Jones movie this friday but he wants to go with a group of friends that I only barley know one of. Go figure I guess, tell your best friend your gay (espeically if you're attracted to them) and what more should I expect than less one on one time?

He was REALLY cool about things today, I think we had fun, all of us. I just didn't feel satisfied. Sometimes I just wish I could hug him. Just a hug, and get one back, a good one. Sometimes I feel like that would make my day, just that plain old good natural acceptance. To know that I am wanted. I mean honestly it's not a customary thing for friends to speak about how they are glad they know each other, or how they mean a lot to each other.

Anyway, I hope to hear from someone. I need to go to bed.

Hey

I think the problem is that you want more from this friendship than he does.He obviously enjoy's your company or you would not have become friends in the first place.But the thing is,that is all he wants-a friend.I think you are feeling unfulfilled in the time you spend with him because he is treating you like a friend,but you want more.It is an awkward situation and tough on you,but I am sure you will get through it with your friendship intact.
Catch ya later dude.

I went through the same

I went through the same feelings about my best friend. She was straight and i was CRAZY about her. I didn't think I'd ever get over her - I still find her really amazing in so many ways - but somehow I did. You've just gotta focus on how much it hurts you to get these negative feelings form someone you are so close to. It takes a lot of time and struggle, but eventually I turned my feelings into completely loving her as a friend. I'm not sure exactly how that happened, or I'd help you and be much more specific, but I know you can do it too. Also a new guy interest for you doesn't hurt - though that can sometimes only be a temporary solution (if you stop liking the new guy you may revert back to this one)

Not sure how much that helped but basically, I understand how much what you're feeling sucks.
Do you think being away from him for so long (a month?) is a positive or negative thing for your situation??

I noticed...

I noticed that I was away from him for a month and that the day I finally got to do something with him was more torture, despite the fact that everything went well, than the whole month away from him. It's like I started to forget how much I care about him. I'd say it was better to be away than to be near. Even though that kinda doesn't make sense.

Anyway, I appreciate your input.
