i am sure its very frustrating for you to realize that she is have different sexual orientation, but you need to realize we cannot change anyone's sexual orientation. she is already your best friend. it means you share a great bond,you can keep this bond the way it is! forcing her for anything can make your friendship bad.you can respect the fact that she has different sexual orientation and find someone who is having same sexual orientation. this world is full of so many good people. i am sure you can find one. Best of luck!

She is your best friend, like you said. So obviously she understands you. And this is why you should talk to her. She will understand and this will help you get over her as well. And maybe it works out, if you're lucky enough. :)

I think you should talk to her privately and tell her your feelings. Be honest and kind. If she really is your best friend, she'll be kind to you even if she doesn't romantically love you back. If she treats you badly and severes your friendship, then she wasn't there for you in the first place. Love really is an important aspect of life and you should be open about it to those you love. If you need to talk about it, we listeners are always here for you! Take Care!Hugs!

You can't help how you feel but ultimately the relationship will not materialise. Take up a new hobby and find something you love to take your mind off things!

I'd be honest with your friend on how you feel for them. You shared they are your "best" friend. So I'm guessing they might understand you. Also be open to their feedback on you sharing with them on how you feel. Good luck!

I totally understand how you feel. Have you came out to her yet? If you don’t feel comfortable with telling her that you like her, it’s good to drop subtle hints.

I don’t want to give you advice because I don’t want you to do the wrong thing, but personally I would talk to her and see how she feels. Some people stay closeted regardless of who around them is out, so you may not know if she’s bi or pan or just straight.

From personal experience, you just have to accept the facts and stop putting yourself through the worst type of pain. It takes time to get over it. But you’ll find someone who wants reciprocated those feelings.

You need to be honest with your feelings. Not letting your friend know may cause unnecessary awkwardness and leave you prone to read into most interactions too much. Opening that line of communication can also help you take your best friend's feelings into consideration, because regardless of whether or not the feelings are reciprocated, your best friend cares about you and your well being.
