How can I deal with unrequited love?

I am in love with somebody who made me to be his friend. The problem is that I see him everyday as I also work with him. I can call him my friend but I really am in love with him. I try not show it to him and it is hard. He flirted with me at one point but once also said he still has feeling for his ex. It is hard for me. How can I finish it without breaking my heart completely. Any advice?How can I deal with unrequited love?
if u know its not happening keep it as friendship............dont allow him to flirt with u..............impose ur limits.............i understand it would be tough but still u need to do it if u dont want to end up hurting urself..........u dont flirt with him in any way and dont respond to his flirtationsHow can I deal with unrequited love?
I have no advice for you, but if you find any comfort in commiserating then he's your cup of tea. I've been in love for so long, and it won't go away. There's nothing I can do and my prayers go unanswered. It is the ONE part of my life I am most unhappy with. I wish I were stronger. I wish I didn't love him. I wish I could just forget him and yet every morning I wake up with that unmistakable dread. Another day without seeing his face, hearing his voice... made all the more painful in the knowledge that he is waking up in a bed just 7 miles from mine.
HI,

How friendly are you? do you go out with one another as friends, do you socialise together and have the same group of friends, do you phone each other?



If the answer to all this is yes, then you would have to weigh up whether you wanted to risk having him as a pal only or risk losing all contact with him outside of work.



If this is road you want to go down then I think you should make your intentions clear to him that you would like a more personal relationship, that can be quite difficult I know yet for your own sanity I think you have to find out.



If the answer from him is no you just have to pick yourself up and cut all contact from him even if it means moving jobs, as you will just fester away.



If the answer from him is yes, then maybee he was only needing a sign from you.



good luck
Tell him you love him like no other and he is the man of your dreams. Tell him you wish you were his spouse. Tell him all these things. Go really over the top with it. Then the next day you will feel like such an idiot you will be embarassed and admit to yourself that maybe you were overdoing it and you really dont like him that much and it will be easier to move on. But you have to tell him first.
try showing him this question

I say, get yourself all fixed up like he has never seen you before and put yourself out there to him one last time and if he doesn't respond to you the way you want then let it go. Move on. Good Luck
Its hard.

cut yourself off a bit.dont look at him,so much.or think about him.keep busy.ignore him!



he is playing you?



maybe you should not stay friends?
Sometimes because someone is not available that seems to make them more attractive, but it can be that we are reacting to our perception of being rejected that is so hurtful.



I think it is ok to be sad, but perhaps not necessary to be overwhelmingly so. When I have felt like this it is because I have felt like I 'must' have this and it is my demand that causes the emotional disturbance. I need to turn my 'demand' for the person into a 'I would like ,but don't have to have' and realise that it is ok and I will be ok if I don't get everything I want. I no longer aim for a 100percentpainless experience; afterall it is genuinley sad to me when I don't get what I want; but I do aim, through changing my beliefs about what I must and must not have, to experience bearable and non-overwhelming healthy pain.
Stop thinking of him. You have your own life with many options. Don't let a loser control who you are. He is loser not to recognize someone like you cares.
