Fell for my best friend, she said no, but I cant move on
Hi all, so Ive had this friend for about 10 years or so, we met at sixth form, Ive always kinda liked her, but she always had boyfriends and I made sure I would never fall for someone already taken. We talk pretty much everyday and hang out as much as possible. She broke up with her last boyfriend about 4 months ago which she spoke to me a lot about. And I guess since then the boyfriend rule was broken and I fell for her. I told her how I felt about 4 weeks ago, and she didnt feel the same, I kept it short and simple and we really didnt talk about much or have since. I didnt really talk to her much for a week or so, but have done over the xmas period and seen her a lot (with friends). So things have gone back to how they were, except I know Im not even close to being over her. And I dont know how to without not being friends with her- but she means so much to me, and me to her, I can't let that happen. What do I do?
Before I told her, we had been talking about moving in together (cos her boy moved out) but I dunno if thats a good idea...
I knew it was probably a bit too soon for her about telling her, but because of the living thing I knew I had to tell her, and I couldnt wait. I wasn't sure how it was gonna turn out, we're really close but I knew that could just be a great friendship.
Do you think they may be a chance further down the line? Do I need a proper reason why not? I cant stop thinking about it.
Many thanks in advance for any advice!
