Okay, I know this sounds weird, but I just really need answers.

How do I fall out of love with my best friend who loves me back?

WHAT!??

To fall out of love would imply that you are already in love. Why would you not want to be in love with them?

You can’t fall out of love like that.

I don’t know why you don’t want to be in love with him if he loves you back but, all I can say is, falling out of love happens with time.
Could take months, or years.

You might want to rethink it though.
Even if the situation seems too complicated to just love each other now, it might change…

You know, the concept of this site is helping people… So maybe you could tell us why it’s complicated and we could help you with that?
Or at least try?
You’ve got nothing to lose and it might be easier than trying to just fall out of love…

:)

Sounds like he loves you, and vice versa, Why aren’t you happy with that? Most would love to be with someone who loves them back, and doesnt’ play head games. I’m confused :(

It’s just…ugh, it’s like, I don’t really feel like I love him until I realize I’d be SO jealous if he started going out with someone else. I just recently told him the way I felt (about a month ago). He acts mean around his friends and others, usually because that’s the way they’re acting. I know he’s just kidding around, but the way he does…it hurts. AND he told me he and I were best friends, but spends way more time and seems to enjoy hanging out with my BFF (who used to love him). It really hurts, like he’s ignoring the way we feel and hasn’t even asked me out yet. I’m so confused, so I told him I was mad at him and, before he even gave me a chance to explain, he said “Fine.” Then, last I saw him (with a few other friends), he was sulking and giving me an odd look every once in a while, as well as being a jerk to my BFF. This happens often- he usually is the one to ruin a perfectly good time and it bothers me so much. I love him, but I don’t want to. Plus, there’s a perfectly decent guy that really loves me, but I don’t love him back. It feels so wrong.

You two need to talk.

Meet up somewhere, only the two of you and have a real talk about the way you both feel.

Think well about everything you wanna say and ask, so you’re well prepared.

He needs to know he can’t just mess around like that.
