Letting Go.., of the person you care for... Options

[steezahh]

How can i say this; i used to like someone;but i guess my feelings just changed; so i dont really want to be such close friends with this person anymore; but they currently want to do EVERYTHING with me! lets just say me and this person are like best friends! its me [girl], and my friend [guy]; what can i do to not be so attached to this person; yet still keep a still friendship with this person; i mean i still truly care for this person; we have done most everything together in the past.
Oh another problem is i always have this person on my mind; but i know i have to stop feeling so close; but then another part of me just wants to keep being the best of friends with this person. and i already tried not calling him; waiting for him to call but i could not help myself and i called just to hear his voice!!
PLEASE HELP! also; if you're dealing or delt with the same issue please post!

um, I kinda had the same situation as you before..though I'm bit confused about what you said up there..but anyways I understand enough to continue...

I used to do what you said, tried not to think about him, because I know we can never be together. Well as time passed, weeks, months, years, I pretty much soon forgot about him. 1) I met new people in my life 2) I was determind not to fall for guys again in highschool to concentrate on my studies I pretty much lost the feeling I had for him before. But as you stated, you and him are friends right? Then I suggest you not to ignore him, he will drift away if you stop having contact with him. Well maybe not, maybe he'll come back and bug you for a real friend. =) But yea, don't like play hide and seek with him..if you just want to maintain as friends, I suggest you keep your distants apart. Not TOO apart, don't spend as much time together since you have feelings for him..because you might find yourself attach to him even more, hah, like me. =X...but yea time will erase your feelings away..
