Moving on is the only thing to do here. It seems like she knows you have these feelings for her, but she sees you as just a friend. It really sucks, but it's happened to all of us and the best thing to do is to move on. Time always helps with getting over these kind of feelings. Definitely do not tell her how you feel.

DO NOT TELL HER HOW YOU FEEL.
This is a classic case of One-itis and being Friend - Zoned. You need to stop being so picky, develop a little game, fuck some other women. So you can stop obsessing over this girl. It's not healthy. Good luck.

And for fuck's sake, no more buying her gifts or being her platonic date. WTF? Are you her gay boyfriend?

If she didn’t tell you she liked a guy or was seeing a guy. You’re not special to her, sorry. Seemed like she needed you as an emotional crutch.
You’re going to need space. Be cordial but don’t do shit for her.

Geez don't tell her how you feel. Just move on she did.

Ask her questions that suggests she has a boyfriend without suggesting you're interested. She'll either deny that she has a boyfriend or say they're not really together (You have a chance here if you want to take it!) or she'll agree/ not deny it (Which you should just keep her as a friend for now and move forward. Don't be a dick).

I have to disagree with the posts above. You should definitely tell her how you feel!!! I mean how else would she understand how you feel if you don’t tell her. She might reject you which would suck but it would still be better to know than to just wonder. If she rejects you distance yourself and move. No matter what you do your friendship is dead so don’t let that stop you. Man up, tell her how you feel and face the music. That’s what i would do.

Do you fucking imagine that it is possible to go ON FUCKING HOLIDAY with a woman who wants to fuck you and have that remain a secret? That a woman hugs a man in whom she is sexually interested? That her public behavior changes with the man on whom she has a crush?
There is absolutely no question as to this woman's feelings towards OP. She is using him as an emotional tampon. Like a gay BFF. Platonic.
Confessing one's feelings to a woman in this situation is one of the greatest and most hideous acts of self degradation in which a man can indulge.
You say "man up." I agree. Move the fuck on. Find new friends. Fuck some other women.

I agree that there's a 99% chance for this girls to be using OP just as a "gay BFF", I see that. Nevertheless it'd be much better for him to get whatever he's been holding back off his chest. Otherwise this shit tends to haunt you for quite some time.

Not 99%. 100%
Need to get it "off your chest"?
Post it here. Cry it out. Drink it out with your boys. Tell your priest.

im with this guy. if OP was really that close to her then what's it matter. isn't that what really good friends do anyway? share feelings? come on bros. some of the stuff i see in this sub is toxic af.

If OP was that close to her, and good friends like you said, she would already have said "I seeing this guy, he seems pretty cool." Instead she let him find out when she kissed her guy.
She was a bit unusual and seemed awkward that I saw that.
She deliberately hid it so she could string him along.
I have a good relationship with girls who are actually my friends. I hang out with them, and we talk about everything. They're hot but I have nothing but platonic feelings for them. I've met their boyfriends, they've met my then-girlfriend. We all hang out. They introduce friends of theirs to set me up when I broke up. They give me advice on girls, I give them advice on guys. Friends don't hide shit from each other, unless they're not close.

I'd say you should just treat her as a friend and flirt with other women at this point; if you must, ask her about her dating situation and depending on her response laugh and discuss it as a friend or make a move. When moving on just don't fall into the same situation by not asking them out on a date for months. Most people aren't gonna wait around forever waiting on you to make a move. People lose interest or will think you have your eyes on someone else. If she's always smiling, laughing, asking you questions, remembering small details, and touching you casually SHE LIKES YOU ASK HER OUT ON A DATE NOW. And don't call it hanging out as it's not clear enough that you want to be more than friends.

The thing that upsets me and that I don't understand is that is why she never mentioned me she had a boyfriend. What could be the reason?
[–]ThatOneGuyFrom93 -1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
They could have been just started "dating" with no titles attached. If you truly want her, prod her a bit and see if she even likes the dude. She could be unsure about him.
[–]Deneb1984vega -1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
What do you mean by "prod"
