I'm in love with my best friend and have been for years, my heart is continually broken as she dates other guys and gets herself hurt by them. I tried to distance myself from her so I didn't get hurt every time she met someone new. But I couldn't stay away, I understand that we're not meant to be together but we are the best friends and I'd rather look after her and pick up the pieces when she gets hurt then let her go alone. Maybe one day when we are old and grey she'll see me. I will quietly wait for that time.

1 Tip to Feel Better

Sometimes we are attracted to people, because their presence in our lives speaks to a deep unconscious need. We are often attracted to the people that we are attracted to, because of the emotions they illicit within us. Awareness is a battle half won... so what I do ask you the next time you meet her, is to ask yourself 'what am I really getting out of these feelings which are being aroused in me?' For a moment, look away from the person, but more on the process that occurs inside of you towards her. It could be 'the need to chase', 'the need to prove myself', 'the need to attain the unattainable'... check what is driving you to keep being attracted to someone who is not reciprocating your energy, and perhaps once you have figured it out, the next time you see her, well... it could be different.

Well forgetting a one side love is too difficult. I too used to meet him daily , I still love him . The things that have changes is just that i have accepted the truth, that he loves someone just like i love him . Forgetting isn't a solution to everything. There are somethings that are to be kept as memories throughout your life, to be reminisced whenever you wish to . Don't forget , just accept and move on .

You don't have to forget it. You just have to realize that love doesn't have to be returned to be felt by you, and that not having it returned doesn't mean it has to be painful. Presumably you love this person because of who she is, not for what she can do for you. Just enjoy the feeling of caring for another person.

Remember that you don't know everything about this person. Perhaps you're fantasizing about how wonderful she is, when in reality you may not at all be compatible. Enjoy being her friend, but understand the difference between fantasy and reality. Try to find someone real that can make you happy. :)

in fact you are lucky that you will see him/her everyday , it's better to face your pain better than hiding from it you need to to know that each one have his perfect mate that he will meet one day and maybe it's not the one you match with , you should act normally smile and trust yourself , be gentle and decent , cheerful , calm meeting that person everyday will make you used on it and then you will find by yourself later that you must go on
