Hello, so I have known this girl for 2 years, it started out in class and we have become the closest friends since then. When I met her, she had just began a relationship with someone and that ended several months ago. I started having feelings for her pretty much right after I met her and got to know her, realizing that we have almost everything in common and have always thought we would be a perfect match. Anyway, she told me (when she was in a relationship) that he was her best friend before they started dating, so I thought that might happen between us. Instead, she found out my feelings for her by a friend and pretty much friend zoned me. But we still act normal and went to a baseball game together and we just went to the park today. Unfortunately, she started dating a guy who she had never met until he started texting her and initially she wasn't interested, but started dating him behind my back because she knew it would hurt my feelings.
She always tells me how she only acts herself around me and that I'm am the best person she knows and I make her laugh. If we started dating, nothing in our current relationship would change except for physical stuff.
We are going to the same college and I can't get over this girl because we are so close and her dating her best friend before keeps me optimistic.
What should I do and how?
