if you truly love him you should be more sad than him... I am

>How do I express my love for my straight best friend?

You don't. It'll make him uncomfortable and ruin your friendship.

Forget it he's straight, if you value your friendship then swallow your feelings or else you'll only end up getting hurt in the end, I've been in your position before looking back I'm ashamed of how pathetic the whole endeavor was.

>>5856878
I'm on 8 years of this... my only advice is, do something... Leave the country, kill yourself or tell him how you feel.

>>5856938

This. Most likely it will just make things awkward and skew how he views your past and future actions. Plenty of guys have gay friends, but it's different when a friend comes out and declares their love for you. Don't count on really being friends after that.

>>5856961
OP here, been in love with him for more than 6 years now, I actually dropped out of school and moved cities to be closer to him again, call me pathetic, I know, but when I'm around him I just feel something special

>>5856979

I’m sure you do OP. But these feelings, they can never be satisfied. Never. Do something else with your life or permanently consign yourself to pining after the unattainable.

>>5856989
Maybe we could still have a relationship though, like really good friends, how do straight guys show their friend-love to their friends?

>>5857042

By calling them fags over Xbox Live.

>>5857042

Basically exactly what you have now. Which apparently isn't enough. Seriously OP, unless he's gay/bi it's not going to end well at all.

>>5856979
That feeling is or will become a drug... How do you know he does not know already? I know after 8 years that he knows, but it's still something that is never talked about... Because that is all you want right? Him to still be your best friend even if you have let it all out?... No ackwordness... No fading friendship... Just to be like it always has been...

That is what i want... And recently i have found out that ecstasy is the answer!

>>5856878
Okay OP, here's the deal. Accept it.

Accept that he will never be willing to make the same sacrifices for you as you did for him.

The person that I love most in this world was the first person I came out to. He's beautiful, smart, talented and unique in every way. And I love him with everything that I have. It's been like this since I've met him five years ago, and it will never change. We had a very brief romantic fling (talking 3 weeks) after which he walked away. I was ready to drop everything to be with him. My family do not approve of him and I was willing to write them off for this guy. And he just walked away.

Two years ago we became friends again, and today we are very close friends. We can talk about literally anything and the amount of support we offer each other is incomprehensible.

The point I'm trying to make anon is that, even though I still love him more than anything, even though I would literally comit brutal murder for the sake of protecting him, he will never feel the same. It is something I battled with, and in many ways I still do to this day, but the truth is you have to just suck up the pain. Like >>5857074 said, he is a drug, he is the reason you smile and the reason why I didn't pull the trigger during the countless times I've sat on my bed crying with my dad's pistol shoved in my mouth.

These people are who keeps us in one piece. Try and realise that it is a balancing act between keeping your emotions in check and not becoming too distant, because if he drifts away, you won't have him in my life.

For the most part I've accepted that this guy and I will never be together, no matter how much I'm prepared to sacrifice, but having him as a friend is more than I can ask for. I spent three years without him in my life and it was hell. It was a dark time of my life and I am never going back there. Having this guy that you love with your heart and soul as your best friend is not what you want, but it's all you'll get from him.

>>5856878
It will never happen he isn't gay. You either let him go as a friend or learn to unlove him and keep the friendship.

>>5859602
OP, this. You have to realize that he will not appreciate it in the way you want him to.
I had to basically "unlove" my straight best friend because it would not work out. He requested I didn't have a crush for him and honestly he was right. For our friendship to stay where it is I had to not have a crush on him.

>>5856878
Lol what the fuck is that picture?

>>5862226
It's Rick & Morty anon.

I feel a little uncomfortable with the sexual feel of the pic, or maybe it's just the tone of the thread.

R&M is my favorite animated series and seeing a porno involving them would be devastating ._.

>seeing a porno involving them would be devastating .
You're lucky this is a blue board; I'd shatter your psyche really quick.

>>5862297

(Crosses self.)

>>5856878
Sadly he won't feel the same way for you. It's okay because there's plenty of fish out there in the sea and once you start getting those feelings for another person, the thought of him being of importance will literally fade away.

>>5862297
You wouldn't dare!

Poor Morty! :(

>>5856878
You'll never get him.
Been there done that.

Unless you manage to invent the faggatron and turn qt boys gay.

>>5862435
there might be plenty of fish out there, but there's a smaller pool for the gay fish. and you have to play by the rules of the gay fish or else the pool becomes even smaller.

get him a girlfriend and stop acting like his horny mom

then stop pretending you want him for his own good and not for your pleasure, and cast your gaze elsewhere

>>5856938
THIS. I've also been there before and am ashamed of my stupidity. Fortunately I can still talk to the guy and we're pretty good friends but I've finally moved on and accepted it's not going to happen, and that takes a long time, so save yourself the effort

if he's straight, he's straight. all i can tell you is try to move on

>>5857068
this every time
