What to do when a love confession to your best guy friend goes wrong?

I've fallen in love with my best friend. We discussed it in May and he told me that he had felt the same way and that he got over and so I need to get over it as well. I have tried for 5 months but my feelings for him have only gotten stronger. I came to a breaking pt and I wanted to let him know how hard it is for me to hang out with him. I told how I felt, knowing that he didn't feel the same way. I didn't expect him to recipricate those feelings. When I told him, he completely disregarded my feelings. I was mortified. I atleast thought that as my best friend, he would understand how hard this whole situation is for me. He's so keen on going out of his way to help others, yet when I was struggling and put myself out there...he ignored me. We haven't really talked in over a week. I saw briefly today and I filled up so with much anger from being so hurt. I've come to the decision that I've done my part and now the ball is in his court. Don't even know if I want our friendship to go on.What to do when a love confession to your best guy friend goes wrong?
Try to understand. He's in a difficult position too. he just wants to advance from 'friendship' stage and must be at a loss of what ti say to you or react to you. When he is the one you love and he doesn't want to reciprocate, for watever reasons, what do you expect him to come and say to you, ';See, dearie, I know how you feel, how difficult it is all for you and I hate yself that I don't love you and hurt you like this but still I don't love you.'; This is very diffcult. You need space for yourslef and give him a space too. You will have to get over it just like any heartbreak. He is the last person whom you can turn for help right now. He has his own feelings to deal with too, right. He could be guilty of hurting so dear a friend and afraid how to approach you right. All you can do is to maintain a distance and behave normally, whenever you meet him until he feels comfortable enough to communicate openly to you again. If that's not possible, drift apart for some time. At this point, this will be the best thing to do. You can get back after some time and ask him to forget all this and mend your friendship. But that can be later, when you are upto it.What to do when a love confession to your best guy friend goes wrong?
I think it's been hard for him too, but he just wants to deal with it quietly. I think just give him some times to settle in and later on, you guys can just remain friends like it has always been.
Well, you have a couple of options. Waste time worrying about the ';What Ifs?';, or carry on with the rest of your life. If he is meant to be with you, it will happen. Who knows? Someone more wonderful may be in your future.
I would think it's pretty clear that the friendship is over anyway. He told you that he wasn't interested in you romantically, and still you went and threw yourself at him. Of course he ignored you. It was the kindest thing he could do, under the circumstances. What was he supposed to do? Grab you by the shoulders, shake you, and yell into your face: Get the hint already! I am not interested!
That's the hard part about catching romantic feellings for a friend - if they don't feel the same way, it's often horribly painful to continue being ';just friends'; with them. Sadly, you may never again be able to be 'just friends' with this guy - break off your friendship, mourn your loss for as long as you need to, and try and move on... It's hard, but it'll work out better in the long run





Sorry there's no easy answer to that...
