@persistentDog86 You sound like you are the type to want more attention, and he can't and won't give it to you. I'm sorry to say, but I think it's not going to work out, so I would say to distance yourself. Staying friends with him would just brings you more heartbreak and anxiety. I don't think he would think much if you left, because he's saying one thing but sort of doing another...a bit of a jerk :( You'll get through it, though! Don't lose hope. Close friends can come at anytime in life!

When you give more a lot in relationship. Somewhere unintentionally we start expecting. As the person had never asked for help but youwere doing voluntary so naturally why he will response it. Infact he would never understand how much you r giving.

Why to do so much that later hurt you. You r giving a lot and somewhere you r losing yourself in that. Please start giving yourself a priority. Relationship help to grow and when it start disturbing us than something is wrong. Stop breathe think and try to change. For oneself. At the end you only will left to helf yourself. So why to drag yourself into that.

See he dont want to give you back because he dont feel the same. Asking him also not working in your case. He is very clear he will not give you attention further. So please accept the fact and try n0t to make yourself stuck in this.

Take care of yourself please when one door close the other open . It open only when we try to go to open. So one friendship end it room for other to come in life just believe you will get nice people in your life . Nobody can replace anybody so never keep on searching this guy in other.

Please strongly baby step move out of it. Be strong. You are not weak person. Respect yourself and him. For both betterment a distance is good now

Take care

@persistentDog86 Hey, read your post. Thanks for sharing. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone. I have feelings for my best friend too, though I haven't told him. It hurts when you're giving more than you get back in any relationship. And I understand how you see your best friend as someone very special and important to you but don't feel as though he sees you the same way. But you're special and important no matter what your friend thinks of you. You're kind, thoughtful, generous, loving and so many more things that make you wonderful even if your friend takes all of those things for granted. I know right now things hurt and that all you want is somebody to care about you. So stay hopeful that someday, you'll fall in love with someone who loves you back just as much. Someday you'll find someone who will hold onto you and never want to let you go. Someday there's going to be someone who tells you that they're lucky they met you. Until then, remember who you are and what you're worth. You might not be ready to let go of your friend yet. I know I haven't been able to. But whenever that time comes, know that it's gonna be alright in the end.
