I’m in love with my best friend but I know she’ll never feel the same way
DEAR DEIDRE: I AM in love with my best friend but she says she would struggle to love again after her ex let her down badly.
We are super-close, see one another at least once a week and talk every day. I really value her as a person.

I am a guy of 25 and she is 26.
I have tried to distance myself by spending a few weeks apart but each time I see her all the romantic feelings start flooding back.
I think about her every day.
I don’t want to lose her as a friend but these feelings of unrequited love are torturing me to the point where I can’t move on. Nobody else remotely appeals to me.
DEIDRE SAYS: It is tough but it would be kinder to you not to see her for at least six months, unless she changes her mind about you.
It might even focus her mind on what an important role you play in her life.
My e-leaflet on Mending A Broken Heart could help her move on from that ex.
