Perhaps you can consider another possibility…instead of pouring your heart out to her, knowing she doesn’t feel the same way, what if you just casually asked her out on a date? “Hey, I know we’re good friends and this might be a bit awkward for you, but would you like to go on a date some time?” If she says no, you just laugh it off a bit (“no biggie”) and then start trying to think about someone else. And she might actually say yes. Any of us men who think we always know what women will do are kidding ourselves.
