I'm going to start this off by some basic info.

I'm almost 17, I go to high school. She is my classmate. Since the first day of high, I discovered she is a nice, good looking girl and very, very cute. We got along very well and became good friends. Nothing more, just some friendly talks at school, rarely on facebook. I wasn't even noticing her much, except for once going out in the summer holidays with her, her sister and friends. I became a good friend with her sister as well (I was actually going for her sister at first, until I discovered she is not my type - not talking about the outlook, cos she was very pretty). It went fine. Just ordinary friends. Nothing special. Until everything changed in the next grade.

I don't know exactly how it began, but somehow it did. One thing that might have initiated my interest in her was the following. In the second grade, we started talking much more. One day, she was talking about me with her friend (female, other classmate), I was somewhere nearby and heard them saying my name, I came closer and asked what's up. Her friend just said that they were talking about me, but she can't tell me what exactly she was telling her, because I'd 'die from happinness', and my girl just smiled shyly at me. That was when I realised she likes me and I gotta get to know her more. We started writing everyday, eventually getting so close to each other that she even started telling me secrets she had never told anybody before. We suddenly turned into best friends. As we were getting closer and closer to each other, it dawned on me that I fell in love with her. There were hugs everyday, deep stares into each other's eyes, smiles etc. She told me many times that I'm amazing, with the best heart, even handsome. The worst thing about it was that she washaving a boyfriend for nearly a year and a half already. You might think, what a bitch, but she isn't the type of girl that would cheat on her boyfriend intentionally (as some whores do). I thought, what if she isn't happy with her boyfriend and her heart chose me as the next. There was one time when her sister and friend noticed, that she was talking more about me than her actual boyfriend, they noticed she would most likely date me if she didnt have a boyfriend. It continued like this for like 3 months or so. I was always there for her when she was having issues with her boyfriend and as she started complaining about him to me more and more as they constantly argued. I was telling her to reconsider their relationship, though I'm not the type that ruins relationships for his own good, I wanted to help her. They eventually broke up and I felt serious chance. We started going out, our first 'date' was beautiful (it was still more like friends, so it wasn't really a date). It was going great, until I discovered she still loves her ex-bf and wants to return back to him. Unfortunately for me, 2 weeks later he kissed her at school and they were back together. I had never felt so emotionally down before, I was heartbroken. For the first time of my life (I've never had a girlfriend, never kissed, obviously never had sex too). I felt so down that I had to ignore her for a day to prevent from making my feelings get worse. She thought I hate her, since I acted coldly. I promised her to get things cleared out soon. I didn't eat much for a week. I decided to tell her what I feel to her. I chose the easier way for both of us and that is facebook, because telling her face to face would make her feel weird/awkward/sad and wouldn't fix anything anyways, since she loved her boyfriend. I wrote her a long message explaining what I feel to her and why I am acting like this. She replied that she knows she should love me, but she loves her boyfriend. When I asked her if she feels something for me, she said that she feels more to me, especially when we hug. She apologized and felt sorry for me, and that's it. All this happened like 3 weeks ago. I knew I have to get over her and find another girl, which i would love to, but I am totally desperate, as I am kind of a complicated person and I find it impossible to find a girl that suits me as much as my crush does. I had never had such relationship with a girl before and I doubt that there is one similar girl around. I have tried getting over her before this too, i would say this is my 5th try in 6 months already, and I always fail, since I'm in direct contact with her almost every day. I simply can't get over her and I feel extremely empty and sad. The worst thing is that she still keeps hugging me and everything like before, and since I don't want to ruin our friendship, I don't want to tell her to stop. Just two days ago I felt I'm over her, and boom, today I'm here, desperately writing this. It's coming back, haunting me.

Please, anybody got any helpful advice? It's driving me crazy as I can't stop thinking about her and knowing I can't have her. Please, guys, help me.

Thanks very much for reading the whole thing, thanks for the advices in advance!

PS : You can call me the Master of friendzone because this one is hardcore. LOL

Ok so i've been in a vaguely similar situation. My relation with my crush was more virtual (social net whatsapp) and I fell in love with her, mostly because i'd known her for a long time (8years, since second grade) and she was awesome. I told her what i felt about her, she was shocked but didn't accept my proposal (yeah, in india you gotta propose to be someone's boyfriend). This continued for sometime, then i realized it was one sided and she couldn't be convinced, so I let go. I asked her to stop talking, she never even asked the reason, just agreed. And i had a helluva hard time getting over her. I have NO CONTACT with her since 3 months and i see her everyday in school. It's sad bro, but if she loves you, and you know it, you just gotta wait. She'll eventually come around. Or you can end everything abruptly (and awkwardly) and ask her to forget about you. Nothing is sure shot. And if she was your first love, you can positively forget about forgetting her.

I am sorry this has happened now I think you have to move on a bit and the greatest thing is you can learn a bit about how relationships work. It will be difficult but perhaps she just used you or just dated you as she had split up.

Thanks guys for your support. What's killing me is that she is still acting to me the same way, that means hugging everyday, taking selfies of us two, cute and playful attitude towards each other... I definitely love it, but since I know she loves her boyfriend, It's really painful and only makes things worse for me. I certainly want to stay close friends with her in case she breaks up with him in the future, but at the same time I want to move on from her and find another girl which would get me over my current unfortunate love. I am sure she has feelings for me and I am going to keep getting to her closer and closer, as she might eventually get her. It is unlikely but I think it's worth trying, since I don't have any other girl to concentrate on. What do you guys think?

If you can't find a girl who you think is better (which usually never happens, atleast to me it didn't), wait it out. Meanwhile, just reciprocate her love for you. Pecks on the cheek, hugging her tighter are some things that might work. What i think is that you have an intense amount of love for her, but can't get it out (hi-5 bro!). Hope it all works out.

Thank you for your support, LonelyGenius. However, you've stated that I should reciprocate her love for me. Unfortunately though, that isn't really how it is (if it was, I would've had her already). She does feel more to me, but I can't call that love, since she still has a boyfriend who she loves more than she feels to me. But I'm also sure that her feelings to me are more than just those between best friends, I am pretty certain about that. And man, it's getting worse and worse day by day - she's hugging me more and more, today we hugged like 7 times and not just short friendly hugs but they have feelings in it, and definitely not just one sided. She is always the one who initiates the hugs, so it means something. What's bad about that? The fact that I'm falling in love with her more and more with each hug and it's very unlikely she will leave her boyfriend for me, I know her very well. She would have depressions and think of herself as a bitch that she "cheated" on her bf by falling in love with me. Despite that she does feel something for me and I know it, she even confirmed it twice-3 times, some time ago. Please, help me, I'm desperate.
