So, it's not like I'm "broken-hearted" as we never dated, but my friend and I both developed feelings a long time ago. We decided it wouldn't work out, and thought it would be best to just stay friends. This is a friend I work with...pretty closely. I have to see her all the time at work, and me, her, and two others are a close group. So it's hard to not see her and not care. I still think of her as a good friend, even though I don't agree with a lot of things she does. Honestly, she's not the usual type I've been attracted to in the past, but for whatever reason we have some connection where we know each other so well, and know when somethings wrong, etc. Lately she's been having issues that's stressed her out, and I want to be there for her, but I know at the same time its not smart for me to be, since it seems to bring back feelings whenever I do. Like today at work, she came in and was in a bad mood, and while my head was like forget her, she doesn't want you you shouldn't want her, but as soon as I see her that stuff fades away :/
I've never had someone brighten my day and screw it up all at once just by walking in to work. Though I know it will never, ever work out with her, part of me misses the way we talked back then and kinda stabs me when I see her with a guy at work she's been spending time with lately. I do have a new girl that I've been interested in, and that has helped, but I still get side-tracked when I do care about her and don't like seeing her like this.
So, I assume I'm going to hear cut all ties, or stop talking, or anything along those lines, but I have to ask, what can I do to stop thinking of her like that and think of her as the same as the other two, more like a sister than anything else?
