askstella answered Monday May 3 2004, 10:59 pm: Hi Same Guy . . . . Have you ever told this man your feelings? Sounds to me that you're in love with him and he doesn't even know it! He's seeing you as just a friend when you're needing more from him! He can't read your mind! Talk to him! Let him know what you're feeling! Life is taking risks and so are relationships. If he's such a great friend, he'll listen if you put your feelings out there! And, if all he wants is a friendship, then you're going to have to find some way to except it or continue to hurt! You've never know until you talk to him . . . [ askstella's advice column | Ask askstella A Question ]
Cephlesto answered Monday May 3 2004, 9:35 pm: I know it sounds cliché, but you should consider the age old adage, “If you love someone, you have to let them go.” Eventually, if the relationship is right, the two of you will end up together. I am currently engaged to the love of my life. I was the one treating the relationship all wrong, but he let me have my freedom to fly and my room to grow, and you know what? I did go flying back to his arms, after seven excruciating months of reality, in which many painful experiences taught me that I had been looking all over the place for what was right in front of me. You see, I am just like this guy you say you are in love with. I am not guaranteeing that he will come back, but I did, and I think you should take that chance and let him go, but never, ever stop caring about him, no matter what happens.
