In love with a straight friend

Deeply in love with with a friend who is straight, it's been very difficult emotionally for the past 1 year. The thought of confrontation is scary as hell. I cannot bear to loose him as a friend

@SugatoM My friend told me she was on love with me. I thought I was straight too, but somewhere along the way with her pursuit of me I became very attracted to her and wanted to pursue those feelings. So, I have no idea if that makes me straight or bi or what,but I was very physical attracted to her. She has since started dating a guy and every time she tells me she's going to see him, I feel like my heart is breaking. I told her I was straight many times because I wasn't comfortable with my feelings. I eventually told her I was attracted to her too, but it was too late. She gave up on me. I don't know if I was attracted to her because she was a woman or if it was because of our emotional connection. Regardless, it's left me heartbroken and a mess.

@rationalFig3732 I can imagine the heartbreak is very real and it's painful but you will get over it and you will find someone :-)

@SugatoM See , I'm a straight man , it would be really good if the man you love is gay or bisexual but if he's straight , he'll unfortunately reject you . If a man loves me , I couldn't love him back but the best thing I could provide to him is friendship and I would hang out with him , but I couldn't kiss , etc . Hope everything works out for you very well :)

@SugatoM This is so familiar to me! I fell in love with a straight friend in college. It was a very difficult time. I went through a lot of anxiety and depression over the situation. When I came out to her as bi and told her I had fallen in love with her in a letter (it was summer break), we talked a few months later (she wasn't ready at first), and she said she was 99% sure she was straight. Oh, how I longed for that 1%! She was supportive, but it was hard. We were roommates by that time. We had two other roommates, so we didn't just have to sit and stare at each other. So I really empathise.

It's a special kind of misery to be in love with someone you can't have. I've been stuck loving my best friend for the last 2 years wondering when it will end.
