Feelings for a friend

I've known a girl for a year or so, and we're good friends. She's in a long term relationship though, yet I have strong feelings towards her, and miss her so badly when I haven't seen her for a while. (even just 3-4 days). Obviously I can't talk to my friends about this problem. Can anyone give some advice?

unfortunately, you cant. you cant just 'stop' feelings like that. You are, however, just going to have to learn to live with them, and hopefully with time they'll ebb away. If it's when you meet someone else who sweeps her from your mind or its just that you start to not see her that way anymore, the feelings will eventually go. Thinking of her this way is hurting you, and its not going to come to anything if she's happy in this relationship.
