age-old question

That's a pretty extreme situation.

I was in that situation with a co-worker for almost two years, and it was really hard to swallow my feelings. I doubt I'd have endured it if she wasn't a co-worker.

 

Luckily, few of my friends had such an effect on me.

Logically there is no chance of a relationship if the other person wasn't interested, so my three heads are not in agreement after all. Now if I came out and asked the other out, I would feel uncomfortable. If I found out another way (or a subtle way) that the other wasn't interested, then friendship is a possibility.

I thought so for years

something always comes up, even if its not spoken or anything, the atmoshpere changes and you can just TELL

Interesting. Yet, most of us have been in the position where we are in love with someone we can't have. It seems like the strength of the heads varies, you can only reason so much of your feelings away.
