Carriebeca answered Sunday November 13 2011, 8:48 am: I know this might be an answer you don't want to hear, but perhaps you should try to put this guy out of your head for a while. You say you 'love' him but he doesn't even 'like' you? Slight imbalance there.
Could you find a new friend to be with instead of him? Taking this constant pressure of being 'together' off both of you may allow some light into the situation.
Take a step back from him, see other friends, go out for fun and friendship. Give it a month or so, see how you feel, you may be surprised.
Hope this helps, let me know how you get on? [ Carriebeca's advice column | Ask Carriebeca A Question ]

I really was close with one of my guy friends throughout high school and we had a lot of classes together. I started having a crush on my friend and we would flirt. I wouldn't say I was in love with him but I loved him as a friend. We continued to flirt and my feelings grew stronger. I finally told him how I felt and he told me he didn't feel the same way. It crushed me. From then on I didn't know how to act around him or what to say I just felt awkward.
Thankfully he cared about me as a friend a lot and he wanted to continue being friends. He handled the situation maturely.
Now I know you still have feelings but you have to respect the fact that he doesn't and move on. He told you straight out that he doesn't feel the same way. Good thing is, is that I'm sure theres still a friendship and that you can work it out. My friend and I are now fine I'm over him but I still care about him as a friend. It's going to be a bit weird for awhile but know that this to shall pass. [ AdviceMistress's advice column | Ask AdviceMistress A Question ]
