So here is my situation:
It all started when I went to my first year of college last year (away from home), and i met this girl. At first she didn't really talk to me (i'm an awkward guy, thanks dad for that gene) and eventually we became best friends. Mean while all of our other friends (which were guys) were trying to hook up with her and what not. As for me i kind of told myself that she is like my sister so i thought i would never have feelings strong than that. But with my luck i fell head over heels for this girl. I have had my fair share of girlfriends and a few actual serious relationships. But i have never in my life felt this way about a girl. I love listening to her talk, i love her family and her family loves me, she smokes. She is the first girl that i have ever been attracted to her personality before her looks (not saying she isn't pretty, because she enchanting).Basically she is the perfect girl. The only problem is she only sees me like a brother.....
Now back to the present, i moved back home due to money issues with college. And i can't get her out of mind. A day honestly doesn't go by where she doesn't go through my mind. She found out from whom i thought was a trustworthy friend how i felt and it put a strain on our friendship for awhile but i think we got past it. And i basically said i know you don't feel the same way and i rather have you as my best friend then not in my life at all.
The only problem is i don't know how to deal with this emotionally. For the most part i'm fine, but there are days like today where i almost break down in tears. How do you cope when someone you love doesn't love you back?
Sorry this was long and any advice would be nice.
