Dear Agony Bunny,
I've been in love with my friend for four years now. If you think that's bad, there's more to come: I'm gay and he's straight! He was aware of the situation years ago and was really understanding and he only asked that I wouldn't tell anyone else of my feelings. Our friendship has grown since we met over 8 years ago and so have my feelings. I am now at a point where I feel miserable and depressed every time he gets a new girlfriend or sees others friends and not me. But then when I'm with him, below the surface level happiness I still have this dull heartache which cripples me when we part. For years I've beaten myself up about the feelings because of just how pathetic I must look to my friends that know about my feelings and because I'm scared I might lose him as a friend somehow and be left heart-broken, and mostly because I know how ridiculous it is that I think or wish he might feel the same. I am sick of feeling sad and lonely when I think about him but don't want to lose my feelings in case miraculously he might feel the same! How do I make the feelings stop? Please help me, because I'm at breaking point. Or am I beyond help? Many thanks, Chris
Dear Chris,
It is simple to get your heart broken once than daily. Confront him once and for all. What do you think will happen at the most? He will reject your proposal. You might get a really bad heart break and will be thinking of him for days. But what then? You will overcome the feeling and be strong. Well, if he accepts your proposal, you will be the happiest person. So why not take that chance and buckle up your life. And always be positive about what you do in life.
