Kissed my guy friend, but he doesn't want anything more

ok i have been in a similar situation.
one of my best friends is a guy and we get on really well etc, i used to like him an awful lot, due to the way that he would treat me so i got up the guts to tell him how i felt and said that i felt he should know and if he doesnt have any feelings for me i would rather him tell me than just carry on in that way...
he like ur friend said that he wanted to just be friends and so i had to just accept that fact becasue i didnt want to loose him as a friend and now i am completly over him.
it is annoying when that happens but if he doesnt feel the same there isnt much you can do and i wouldnt keep pursuing it after maybe u have had a chat about it.
you wouldnt want to loose his friendship so if he wants to just be friends accept it and try to move on.#
its what i did so i hope this will help u xx

Hi, I'm basically just looking for opinions from both girls and guys on this matter. I really really like my guy friend and always have done, since we got to know each other well, which was five years ago. He's always known that I liked him, but I couldn't admit this to myself until about a year ago - I would get so embarrassed and self conscious to think that he knew I liked him but was doing nothing about it. In the past five years, we've almost kissed a few times but for whatever reason it never actually happened. I've also gone out with his best friend, who split up with me earlier this year. People have always said that there is definitely something between us and that we would make a good couple - but nothing has ever happened, until a couple of months ago we were at a party together and he got ridiculously drunk and we ended up kissing on the way home. He wouldn't talk to me about it the next day and was acting as though it didn't happen. I ended up texting him to ask if we could talk about it as not knowing how he felt was driving me mad. He replied that it was just an in the moment thing for him and that he still sees me as a friend rather than anything else. He wouldn't actually meet in person to talk about it, because he thought it would be too awkward. Since then I've tried to forget about it and move on, bearing in mind what he said about just being friends, but it's so difficult, given the length of time I have liked him, thinking that nothing would ever happen then that finally did. I'm not sure where to go from here.
