How do you bury your love for someone and just continue on being friends?

If she considers you  her best friend, then she obviously cares deeply for you.  Tell her how much it hurts you, and how you feel about her.  Maybe she's thinking the same thing.  What can it hurt?  If she comes right out and says, " I don't feel that way about you," you are losing nothing.  And you will get over it.  Trust me.  I wanted to kill myself over one.  Now, I look back, and WHAT A LOSER!!  What in the WORLD did I see in that guy??  Good luck.  Tell her!

It is not easy to leave someone you have been with a while.  When you are close, and you aren't meant for each other it is even worse.  Maybe you guys could become friends again after all the hurt is over with.

That depends entirely on your own feelings. If you return the feelings being demonstrated, try asking them out and and doing all the little things that are so sweet that they will remember forever, like taking them to see the sunset or making a romantic dinner and setting from scratch. If the feelings are not returned, then try to let them down gently and talk with them to try and figure out a compromise in your relationship like just staying friends.

It's always hard when you start having feelings for a friend, you don't want to loose the friendship, but at the same time you want to have more.  Take it day by day.  Invite her to do things on a casual level, dinner, movies, shopping for Christmas gifts.  In time, if she does have more feelings for you, you will know it and it can go from there.  Be careful, if the only thing she wants is friendship, take it because if she is as special as you say, you don't want to loose her.

To her face, calmly, lovingly, clearly. You must let her know she's a good and wonderful person but you cannot, and I do mean, CANNOT let her think there's a chance of winning you back, or she may put up a valiant try that will leave both of you feeling more hurt / guilty. Don't be afraid to have a little bit of space between you two for a few weeks after, but if you'd genuinely like to stay friends after that, go out to coffee and chat. Be prepared for the sting when she finds someone else a bit down the road; even if you dump her, it can hurt when she falls in love again and it's not you.

feeling come and go it all takes time there know saying when you will lose these feeling but you cant make someone have the same feelings as you and maybe one day you two may became more the only thing you can do is stay friends and see how things go tell your friend that you have these feeling for her and see what she has to say about maybe if you two talk about thing and see what she wants and then you can go from there if she just wants to be friends and she says that you and her will never be then you really have to move on just remember that you do have a friendship and that's better then nothing you wont be in pain forever

Friends after the fact won't work dude.  If you want a relationship with her or still love her, tell her you want her back.  If that's a no go - you need a clean break - That involves your mate as well.   Explain you still have feelings for her and you can't be around her without feeling awkward.  Then find some new friends.

How do you know if you'll be accepted ? Put yourself out there....find out first hand if the person is going to accept you...If you love someone you just do....you cant just make that feeling go away....you might have to let it go if truly they don't share your feelings but why live the rest of your life wondering WHAT IF? If the feeling isn't mutual you'll at least know....and then you can move on. Even if you hold on to those feelins forever. Sometimes we love what we cant have or what is bad for us...The mere fact that its bad or off limits sometimes makes us feel stronger towards the subject. So I say GO FOR IT you might be pleasantly surprised at the outcome;)

just continue offering a pure friendship. just be a true person to him by showing who you are without telling what you feel towards him. wait for the right time. it will come without saying any words. just wait and try to have fun with your other friends. then you will learn what exactly you feel for him. but if that special feeling remain, then you can take the risk. \n\ntelling him will be a big gamble to you, you may just simply loose him, or if he have a "feeling" for you, you will not find his sincerity for you will always think that he just "love" you for not offending you or hurting your feelings.\n\nthat's the hardest part of being a girl-you have to wait for the person you like to "approach" you but sad to say those people approaching you are just "ordinary people" for you. \n\nbut then you felt that bursting feeling can't be hold for awhile then - - tell him without putting down yourself.\n\nmake it simple on telling him, like, :i don't understand myself, "friend" but this thing is new to me - why i always  think of you, and sometimes i want to have more time from you... then smile and wait to his reaction.\n\nkeep your cool.

Your going to have to explaing it to him again and again if necessary . if u dont love him you better not accept any proposal outa guilt..itll only hurt you both later. but if he cant accept that it will be best to not see him for a month or so. give him some time to cool off and get over you. youll find its very hard to get over somebody when they are always right in front of you. after he "heals" you just may be able to be friends.

Honey, I know it is hard, but just let him go if it is not meant to be it won't be.  And you can't expect to remain friends with him at least not at this point when it is so fresh in your mind.  Just stop and  my best advise is stay busy  busy busy  .  Did you ever here the old saying if you love someone set them free.?????  Set him free if it's meant to be it will all work out   Good Luck and Have Faith

you can't i just lost my husband in oct. and it's been 5 months and you don't get over it. unless you throw yourself into something. and sometimes that doesn't even help. and of course friends mean well but they don't understand how you feel. it's up to you and you alone. you just live and take life day by day and that's all you can do....

Lean on friends and family.  Do not use drugs or alcohol (it makes it worse).  Keep yourself as busy as possible and don't be alone if you don't have to.  If you do this, you will eventually get over him.  It will take a long time, but it will work.

That would be tough but you are going to have to sit that person down and have a serious heart to heart with them. Tell them why the relationship can't go on any longer I think in the long run they will appreciate your candor and honesty and the break up may be much easier on both of you. I'm not saying there won't be any tears ar anger because that usually can't be avoided. I'm just saying in the long run you may be able to be friends when some time has passed.
