Okay, so there's this girl I met almost 3 years ago, and we got to be like best friends. We hanged out a lot and everything, and a year later I fell in love with her. So for like a year i secretly liked her, and then one of my friends told me that she liked me back! but i didn't want him to know i liked her because if you tell him a secret everyone knows by tomorrow. I didn't think she knew I knew she liked me, so i wanted to wait for the right time to tell her how i felt. But I guess that friend went back and told her that i didn't care when he told me, and she got over me. Right now, a year later from the whole thing, she really likes this really cool person and she doesn't know is a complete jerk. She thinks he's really sweet but doesn't know him at all, but i didn't have the heart to tell her he's not who she thinks he is. she also knows that i like her. she told me how she knew me for a while about a month ago when we were emailing. She also told me a while ago that I was like a brother to her...so how could she like me if it's brotherly love for her? So I know that i'm really nothing more than a friend to her but i just loved her for so long and I don't know how to get over her. I know that there probably isn't a way for us at this point, but if there's anyone out there who has any advice for me you have No Idea how much I'd love to her it. It's also a little weird between us from when she told me that she knew i liked her, but i hate things being awkward, and i really want my best friend back. If any of you have advice about that too I'd really really appreciate it.
