I’m in love with someone who used to be my best friend.

She has a boyfriend that shes in love with and shes been dating him for over a year. She also says she loves me, but that she loves him more. I have NO clue what to do. I feel like my life will fall apart without her… I cry nightly as well as pray nightly. HELP… pray for me please.

All you can do is move on with your life. Keep her as a friend if you can without it killing you, and just keep looking for someone else.

You won’t fall apart, but if prayer is what you ask for, so be it.

its possibale but forcing her to do so will not make her appriciate u in the long run… if she is ur best friend and if u realyl do love her, then u will learn in time that you are far more important as a friend to her as lovers come and go but friends….real friends are there for life… i have the same problem….exaclty the same… but ive realised this and now we are closer than ever…and then if anything does happen in the future, A its natural not forced, and B it will be worth wating for and C if not then u have a friend for life….good luck with everything

Same thing happened to me when i was 16 (im now 21) she was with her b/f of one year, and she was my best friend. You know what I did? I snatched her! I showed her why i was the better man for her love, and that was that. We lasted for 4 years so its not impossible man, take her if you really feel she is for you and you feel you will treat her better. good luck

Hug her, care for her, let her know she is important to you. Make her feel better than any other guy could make her feel. I know, what im saying is pretty selfish but I dont think you should ever let go of someone you could truly be happy with just cause there is an obstacle.
