Hey I have a question. If you have developed more than friendly feelings for a person, but you KNOW for a fact they dont feel the same about you what course of action would you take?

The only way you really know is to pounce like a playful kitten on a ball of string. Pounce, but pounce as if you will never see that orange ball of yarn again.

What else can you do? You still want to talk to her...it's kind of the reason you liked her, right?

Usually, I just continue to talk to her and move on.

I would tell her how I feel, and ask her if she felt she could ever feel the same....but only if she doesn't have a boyfriend or significant "other" already.

Typically, the friendship is already "ruined" at this point. Whether you tell them or not, and whether they feel the same way or not, things are not likely to ever be the same. So, yes, I recommend telling them, if no other reason than to move forward or move on...

Yeah I was thinking its probably better to either just tell her and move on, or just slowly stop talking to her, let things fade and move on. At this point one of the reasons im still trying to stay in her communications is because were suppose to be going to nyc, shes never been there and everythings already paid for.

Everythings already paid for, and its not like when im around her things are awkward. I guess just in this case I either need to cut it off completely or just keep my distance from her after we come back, so I can get over the feelings. If it helps any I JUST started feeling like this about her a few days ago, not months and months and months.

Why "let things fade"? If you're gonna let the friendship go anyway, why not just tell her? Nothin' to lose, right?

Accept it and continue to be their friends. That kind of things happens all the time in life.
