Tell her how you’re feeling, let her know so that you don’t have to keep this feeling locked inside you. And hey, you never know if she just might be into you as well.

In my experience, it is best to talk to the friend about this. While this is unlikely to end in a relationship, it will help you gain closure, and might also help you feel more secure within that friendship, as you are putting trust in the person.

You love your best friend but they do not date same gender. Almost everyone has this problem once in a while. Short and simple, tell them. You are their best friend and they should understand you. Best friends are always there for you.

If you are certain she’s straight, I recommend you try to find a way to get over your crush. Talk to somebody, try not to stalk their social media too much etc.

Have you talked about it with her? Think about if you should talk about it with her if you haven't already. Sometimes you just gotta move on. Take care!

Unfortunately, you may have to take steps to get over her. If she is straight then there is most likely no chance you two will be anything more than friends. So, I would try to emotionally move on.

Well, I was actually in a similar situation a while ago. My best friend was straight as a stick and I was in love with her. So I took forever to get up the courage to write her a note (cause I’m a scaredy cat) that told her how I feel. She actually responded in a way that surprised me, I accidentally turned my best friend into my girlfriend by making her bi. Oooops. Sorry not sorry.

If you are up to it, tell her about it. A best friend will listen to your concerns and will work this out with you. Even if she doesn´t return your feelings, she still likes you for being you.

Unfortunately, you will most likely have to try and get over your feelings. I know that sounds hard, but you can't force someone into a sexuality they don't identify with.
