I meant more or less, being infatuated for a good friend that you already know will result in nothing more but that. And making a move on it would result in the likely end of the friendship.

Word. The thing about liking a friend is you pretty much already know how they feel about you. And are privy to their inner most secrets, which really only makes you like them more, but oftentimes it's about some other girl. But then whenever they are nice to you, you have a little flutter of hope, only to realize a little bit later that it was just because you are their friend. Shitty situation for sure.

Haha same thing happened to me, my musical tastes took a fairly drastic change. Although I love Brand New, I began listening to The Devil and God, way, way, way too much. I remember quite vividly crying in to my pillow while listening to the album on repeat. Shit happens, I've moved on, or at least adapted to the concept that this girl will never become anything more...oh shit I feel some Devil and God coming on... I better stop reminiscing,

All true. Happened to me recently, and nothing will ever be the same, I can't be myself around her anymore. I used to tease her and flirt with her all the time before, why even bother now if it's never going to get me anywhere?

I fell for my best friend in 10th grade and I bought her a Valentine's Day present. And when she found out I liked her like that she stopped talking to me so much because she felt it was awkward. We weren't that great of friends anymore for awhile and eventually stopped talkin altogether. But we both apologized and I said I didn't want anything to get in the way of our friendship. And she's still my best friend to this day.

My girlfriend of a year and a half right now was my best friend. Couldn't have worked out better. I have to admit though, there was about a 9 month stretch the year before we started going out where I wouldn't listen to anything but Beck's Sea Change. Rough times.

This is just now beginning to happen to me.
Well actually it's happened before, but now the more fucked up thing is: I'm basically in love with her. Like never felt this way before kind of love. And we've been best friends for a while. Me and her have also been best friends with this other guy for a while. They had a huge fight, and who was there for her? Me. They make up, blah blah blah, he starts liking her even though he (and basically everyone else we know) knows I love her. Then she starts to like him.

Happened to me back in high school. We've drifted apart over the years, never ended up being as close as we once were. Both of us ended up having feelings for one another and hooked up occasionally. I felt it ruined the friendship. Still friends though, wish we were as close as we used to be.

This is funny because back in high school We dated like freshman year and then became best friends. Over the years I began to fall for her hard. We would talk every night till 3 in the morning it was the best time of my high school time. But like you all say its terrible to fall for your best friend! Cuz no matter what happens after that it will never be the same! After I expressed my feelings to her my senior year, everything changed we didn't talk as much on the phone, didn't hangout with each other like we used to. Now that we're in college, she joined a sorority which makes it even harder. I never see her and when we do run into each other on campus its as if your talking to someone from high school that you weren't that close with but you say hi to be courteous. It's awful...

Call me crazy, but I think it's pretty important to at least be pretty good friends with your significant other before dating them. How on Earth do you just randomly date someone you aren't even sure you like/are compatible with? Every relationship I've been in has started with a rather lengthy friendship [although I did almost always have in mind dating them].
Oh and they've all ended. I got dumped last week by gf of almost 2 years. LOL. This post sucked. So I'm gonna spice it up a little.
I think it would be really funny if Dateline did To Catch a Predator sting operations by luring the dudes to Chuck E. Cheese. Then Chuck E. would take his giant mouse head off [crushing kids dreams, realizing he isn't real] and reveal that he's Chris Hansen. But then, he'd put the head back on and proceed to do his usual thing. Just seeing/hearing Chuck E. Cheese say "It says here in the chat log that you said 'I want to dip your little boy ballsack in garlic sauce in the bathroom while animatronic animals have a pizza party outside,'" would be rather hilarious. Then finally the camera crew comes out from behind the band and they start recording the band and the pervert predator gets on stage and it turns into a weird pedo-rap video thing. Yeah. That would be cool.

Who's A-nal?
So ironic that I should notice a thread like this since I just got done having a conversation about this very thing to my best friend of 3 years. Always had feelings for, but never made a move because I thought she wasn't interested. She gets a b/f then decides the time is right to tell me she's had a huge crush on me since she's known me. I instantly get mad, because I liked her to. Flash forward 2 years to this valentines day her b/f breaks up with her. I decide to fly home to see if anything happens between us and they get back together the day before I get home. Talk about poor timing, but ya it always sucks especially when it isn't just oh I like my best friend. It's "Oh my best friend and hugest crush also liked me, but I never knew until it was to late" M-(

Why yes, falling for a good friend does suck quite badly.
I met him, we clicked. I talked with him every single day since then without fail one way or another, and I feel awfully lonely when he isn't around. And oh my, it's quite obvious that I like him, anybody with eyes and a functioning brain would be able to determine this. That worries me in a way, for I think he knows that I like him but is just waiting for me to make a move. Will I make that move? I haven't the slightest idea. I would love to throw myself into this relationship, being both his best friend and most important person, but at the same time I would rather just stay close friends with him for fear of losing him forever. It's really just restating what people have said before. Nobody wants to make that move 'cause who knows what shall come from it...

But it's like you said, this chance is just hanging in front of my face and swinging back and forth. I should take a chance and have something just... Happen, I guess. Haha, it sounds so easy...

This has happened to me four times. Only with each time, one of my own friends would actually end up getting anywhere with the girls. So I'm over doing this sort of thing.
I just had something like this happen. My best friend knew I liked this girl, who was one of our good friends as well. They were friends longer and knew each other way better, but it wasn't like something you'd expect. Then I get a message on Myspace. He has to ask for my blessing before he goes out with her because he knows how I feel about her. He also shares that she liked him back as well and that they'd apparently really fallen for each other recently. So I say I don't care. I really didn't because I was going through a trippy philosophical phase. But yeah, now I'm going to his house now, they're both getting snuggly and smooching and I'm just in disgust. More over how boring friends that are couples are. I had four friends I hung out with, both couples. Couples equal pure boredom to hang out with. They break up weeks later. I'm not estatic, I don't care. That's that, we're still friends.
It's not a big deal. This is the girl I thought I was in actual love with, yet I'm not hurt. I've already asked myself all those "what's so wrong with me" and "why is he/they better than me" questions before. I've been let down by expectations many a time. It's boring. I have a life and a future which ultimately have nothing to gain by relying on the comfort of others. I don't need a specific other. Then again, I've never even been in a relationship. At least I have my Eluvium.

I fell for a good friend while I was in a relationship with another girl. We were both in relationships and I didn't wanna be an "asshole" and leave my girlfriend for her or break up her relationship. Her relationship with him ended but before I had the chance she started dating another guy. A few months later I ditched my girlfriend. I'm single and she's still with the guy. Wish I could go back and change things....
This just happened last night. I've told her how I felt before and nothing came of it so I let it go, then last night I just told her everything and I really don't think our friendship will be the same.
It's like you have feelings for her but she doesn't feel the same way exactly and that only makes you angrier but you shouldn't be mad at her for not having those feelings.
It kind of sucks and I'm going to move on I know and I'm not going to complain but it's rough right now and it happens to the best of us. The worst part is knowing how good of friends you are and if you're such good friends then why couldn't you be together? Then when that person starts getting with another guy that is a total douche it makes you even more angrier.
Moral of my story;
It's not good to hide your feelings, let the person know. Just do your best to not lose a friendship over it, that's even a worse feeling and noone deserves that.

Even 16 year olds shouldn't bitch about shit like this.
Frankly, I can't sympathize with any of you whinos. Was Einstein all about girls? No. He was about bettering himself and trying to further understand the world and universe he lived in. So if some wah-wahs wanna complain about losing out on love(sex)with some chick they're gonna know for like 3 years, then ramble on. Either understand how trivial your problems are and do something worthwhile, or await an end to you nowhere land.
