I need help...

Okay i will shorten this down bc its a long ol' story but, theres this one gal right, known her years and years one of my best mates, i cannot stop liking her no matter what i try, i cant date ppl bc of it. Idk what to do. I think she knows but im not certain. But she would say no.

If you’ve tried everything, the option would be to tell her and get over her as she rejects you.
Even if it might hurt, this conveys the concept in which she is not interested in you in this way; Allows you to accept the truth and move on.
I wish you all the best, Goodluck!

If you know it’s not on the cards, don’t push it to rejection. Better to leave it in doubt, retain your self esteem and focus on finding someone that is up for it. You can never be happy with someone that doesn’t like you back and friendship is never the same once you’ve declared your hand and it doesn’t work out

See the thing is there is a tiny chance of her sayin yes but idk we have been friends so long that its more fear now of her saying yes bc if i screw that up then thats someone i have been obsessed with more or less for years gone

If she felt the same way it would have likely happened by now. Another issue with taking it to rejection is you still can’t give up hope, with continued angst and in the end breakdown of the friendship

Okay cheeky update, i was speaking to her yesterday night and to one of my other mates about her simultaneously, i accidentally sent one of the messages to her instead of my mate, so i created a completely new character out of thin air. She then started going really dry.
I have no idea if that means smn or if im overthinking

It’s not my place to say what she may really think about you - but usually dry texts means they’re not interested into you (or just perhaps “cold” in a way/demeanor).

Yeah see thats what I had thougjt, but then it was the timing that thru me and a few of my m8s had said that meant she wanted me to be yapping bout her

I feel like this is getting confusing cause why would she want you to keep talking about her if she didn’t reciprocate your feelings? (Just curious if there’s a reason)

As ever on TSR the inability to simply speak with her Is alarming.
If you like her then tell her.

Its more the fear of then losing her yk, like even if i know i wont theres that small minute possibility

One understands, fear of loss holds a lot of men back and ultimately you must weigh the status quo against what could be.
What you must not do however is assume she will reject you, that is a negative calculation and that kind of mentality should be avoided at all costs. The simple calculation is 'can you cope with never having her having admitted it's impacting your prospective relations'.
Generally speaking, the lemon is normally worth the attempted squeeze.

I dont know how you formulated that but damn foo, I like that

Well you mentioned in post 1 that you can't date people because of it so from there it's just applied advise and personal experience.
