Love help: I have told a horrible lie to a girl a few years ago because I wanted her to fall in love with me. - Help.com

I have told a horrible lie to a girl a few years ago because I wanted her to fall in love with me.

The lie worked, but not how I wanted. We became incredibly intimate, talking over the phone for hours on end, but never really talked face to face. Now the guilt feels like its killing me, literally, because I still love her madly–and worse, because I never was able to get to even hold her, let alone kiss. It might sound messed up, and it is, I’m just looking for some advice that is not the obvious.

meet up with her, get to know each other face to face and let her know what you are like in reality. You like her, she likes you - all the rest should settle down.
You might be exaggerating and your lie actually wasn’t that bad, though it’s never good to lie.

No, the lie was horrible. So much so that if I were to tell her the truth our friendship would cease. And we do know each other–I was truthful with her about myself in every way, except that one lie. It got to a point where we would call each other every day and talk about everything we did that day and everything more. That is one of the reasons I love her. She has told me she loves me, and I have her, but in a Platonic sense. But we haven’t really been talking for almost a year now, only slight messages back and forth–I’ve gotten to miss her terribly, even just talking with her. Yet, every time I do I only think about the false pretenses of which all of it was based on and how twisted of a person I am.

The thing is that it looks like you aren’t as close friends with her as you used to be and now it doesn’t matter. Keep being friends and if it will start growing into something more, I would advise you to tell about the lie. It will come up anyway and the later it will do, the more damage it’ll cause.
Just only if she already knows you lied and keeps the distance, well, then you must understand her behaivior: noone likes being deceived.
