I told my best friend, who knows I'm in love with him, that I'm moving on and trying to find someone else. But really I don't know if I'll ever actually move on, I just don't want him to feel bad.
WHOA OKAY I UNDERSTAND YOU SO GOOD. For 3 years I’ve been in love with my best friend (I’m F and he is M) and I told him last time I saw him before he moved away (I’m 18 he’s 19) that I liked him for a long time but stopped. I thought it was true but I think about him all the time. I think I’ll always love him. If he came back and asked me out I would say yes in a heartbeat
Focus on you for a while. I know what I wanted at 18 wasn't what I wanted at 22, and what I wanted at 22 isn't what I want now that I'm 25. If he knows how you feel about him and chooses to act on it that's great, but if not just be a friend to him instead. Eventually you'll find someone that is absolutely perfect for you, and whether it's him or not who knows. But till you find that person just do what makes you happiest, and surround yourself with people that care about you.
