Dear Sad,
If you are in love with her, but she does not share those feelings
for you, it would probably be too hard to remain as close as you
currently are.
It's Doubtful Love Will Develop
The more time you spend together, the more your feelings will grow,
and the harder it will eventually be to see her move on to a romantic
relationship. If after two years, she can not say that she loves
you, it is doubtful that this love will develop in the future.
Lessen the Focus on This Friendship
If I were in your shoes, I would try to focus on developing some
other friendships and lessening the focus on this one. You need
to be honest with yourself and accept the fact that there is probably
no future here.
Don't Hang in There
Do not "hang in there" hoping that she will change her
mind or that you will win her over. Find a way to put some emotional
distance between you and her so that you can heal and restore the
friendship to just "platonic" feelings. Find and pursue
other things or people who can bring joy to your life.
But whatever you do, don't burn your bridges with her. Sometimes
we don't realize a good thing until it's gone, and the distance
you put in the friendship may be a wake up call for her to help
her realize feelings that really are there, but that she has maybe
ignored or misinterpreted. But at the same time, try not to get
your hopes up. Protect your heart!
God Wants To Bless You with Companionship
As I have told many people at Love and Learn before, I truly believe
that God loves each one of us and wants to bless us. He wants to
give us companionship.
Try to be patient and wait to see what He brings you. Don't settle
for an unbalanced relationship in which your feelings are not reciprocated.
Seek God and let Him unfold His plan for your life!
– Hope
