i have this amazing friend since i was in 5th grade. He is one of the persons i mostly admire and adore, because he is really easy to talk to and makes me feel good.
Tough, two years ago, i had this massive obsessive crush on him, and it didn't end up well. Indeed, i almost lost one of my best friends because of issues we got due to him.
i put a lot of effort to forget him and eventually dated some other people. Apparently didn't work.
So, my world domination plan. i'm finishing the 9th grade next week, and there is a chance he'll move to another school (and anyways we wouldn't be in the same class like the past five years anyways because we're choosing different areas). Thus, i'm highly considering forgetting he exists. When i get some courage, i'll be deleting his contacts, stopping talking to him and pray to don't see him in the street. i'm not sure if i'll be able to do this. i adore him as a friend more than anything. But i think i prefer just forgetting he exists and making he forget i exist too. Then he'll remember me as a nice friend and i'll hopefully not remember him. Should i go on with this or keep friend with him?
i really want to keep in contact, but it's so hard. oh geez. x___x
I'm in a eerily similar situation to you o.0 I would stay his friend, and if you guys drift apart, so be it. You can't get caught up saying you'd be better off never speaking to him again. He's still your good friend, even if he doesn't like you like that. It's going to hurt. But I would keep him as a friend.

This happened to me when I was younger. I tried to stay in contact with him, since we were good friends and I didn't want to lose a good thing, but eventually we just drifted apart, and went our seperate ways. Don't just suddenly cut him from your life, since that will hurt ten times more than gradually forgetting about him.
Eventually you'll make new friends, and find new people to love. You're still young. You have pleanty of time to stress yourself over love and all that jazz.
In your situation, if you want to get over him then it would be best to cut off ALL contact. That's the best way to truly get over someone. It hurts, but that way you can be sure that you won't be getting into more situations that would hurt you worse. However, if you want to stay friends, then explain to him clearly that you care for him as a friend, and he should be mature enough to handle that. BUT, if you stay friends, be sure that unless he feels the same, you don't make any moves. That's a sure way to lose a friendship. Basically, do what feels right. C: ❤
Id stay his friend, and let life take its course. If you're meant to be friends, the distant wont matter. If not, at least you'll have the memories
That has almost happened to me with a few people... One guy I went out with for like a year when I was 13, and I broke up with him because I was unsure about life and crap. After I broke up with him, my life was all dull and crappy, and ever since I've wanted to get back together with him. I just can't forget him.
Another was this guy I saw at a ball park that I thought was like freaking awesome. I knew him from somewhere, so I looked in my school yearbook from a few years back, and saw him as a kid. I then looked him up on myspace, found him, and added him. I messaged him telling him that I knew him from friends and all, and asked if he wanted to talk at the ball park. He said he'd go there with some of his friends, and when his friends left the park to go home, he ventured up to the playground where I sat on a swing. We chatted for like an hour, and then I had to go. He's an atheist and does drugs, sadly, but I just can't stop thinking about him. I haven't seen him since the last time I went to the ball park, and that was last October, I think. I still think about him. D:
So I've left the first boy, basically, forever, since I'm going to a completely different high school than he is, and we might never see each other again. The second, I might see again, if he's going to the same school as me next year. I won't associate myself with him, though, because I am far against drugs and bad things like that. I just like to talk to him, though.
This is so complicated. All i have left is 5 days to make a decision. ._.
