I’m a girl in the friend zone.

I’ve liked this guy on and off for the past two or three years. I keep trying to keep myself from liking him because of different reasons and it helps for a while, but then I just end up liking him again. He’s amazing. He’s by no means perfect and we’ve had our ups and downs, but we’ve worked them out. I know he cares about me as and he calls me one of his best friends. He’s been with his girlfriend for almost a year and I know they’re really good for each other. I just feel like we’re really great for each other. I suppose my real problem is that I’m not sure what to do. He has no knowledge (at least I don’t think) of my feelings and I don’t know that I want him to. I value our friendship a lot and I don’t want to just stop being friends to get over him. We’ve been there for each other through so much so I don’t know that I even could just walk away. Should I just try to somehow find a way to get over him or should I just wait? I don’t know how to get over him. Or that I want to.

I think you should move on. He has a girlfriend, that is definitely enough of a reason, but also if you have loved him so long, he probably has some idea. Time to stop pining and form a relationship with someone who really wants to be with you.

Distance yourself from him for awhile. You relationship is unbalanced and therefore unhealthy. But before you distance yourself from him, tell him why. He deserves to know.
