    I will try to keep this short…
    I have loved this guy for over 4 years now. He has been my best friend and we rely on each other for just about everything. I have been there for him through a lot of tough situations. About 2 months ago he broke up with his girlfriend of 18 months and we started talking even more. I really thought that something was going to happen between us. Well, I was wrong. He started to date this girl I didn’t even know he talked to and the thing is I can’t see it working out. The worst thing is it come as such a surprise to me. He didn’t even mention her once. I actually had to ask if they were dating. The day after I got this news we just talked about a lot of things. I was really down and I actually told him why. The response I got back was “If you were to die tomorrow, I would risk anything and just walk to where you were…hell, I might even kill myself. I’m being serious. You have had an important role in my life, and I’m sure in other’s. You are a sister to me. I’ve heard there are a few different forms of love…and I have a love for you that rivals that of my brother, it’s that kind of love, the one that we will always be like family.” I still don’t know if that made things easier or harder. So I guess I’m asking how do I get over him and still be good friends? I need to figure this out because we need each other and I really don’t want to lose him as a friend.

    You’re asking for a lot. In fact, it would be easier if you faced reality and understood that you have a mad crush on this guy friend and he’s not interested in you. The best thing for you would be to move on and find a best friend who’s a woman and not a man. His girlfriend or whoever his future wife is, is going to pick up your mad crush on her boyfriend or husband and not want you around — and frankly, she’d be within her relationship rights to want you out. In addition to which, you’re going to have a hard time finding a man in your own life as long as you harbor a fantasy that he’ll one day change his mind and want you as more than a sisterly friend.

    My advice to you is wake up, smell the coffee, and do what’s best for you — which is to stop spending so much time with him, find a female best friend, and start dating men so you can find Mr. Right and not hoping Mr. Wrong is going to come to his senses — he already has.

    Sorry! Sometimes the truth is tough to take.
