Is it normal to not feel appreciated?

There's this girl that I'm deeply in love with, she is aware of how I feel, and she is also my best friend (I'm a guy). We talk everyday in some form of communication, but lately I'm beginning to feel like she doesn't appreciate my efforts. She's going through a really stressful time right now with school and exams, and I told her if she ever needed anything she always has me there for her to love and support her. But the thing is she never acknowledges it, and to be honest it hurts me. I'm aware that a relationship might not work, but I made sure she knew I'd still be there for her as her best friend. if she does acknowledge it she's usually just kind of like "Yeah I know".

is it normal for me to not feel appreciated by her? Is she just using me or am I just over reacting to the whole situation? Any advice is appreciated!

  • Uhm, is actually not that she doesnt appreciate it, it might be that she thinks your just saying it. Actions Speak Louder Than Words.

    I don't know how she feels, but i really don't like being with someone who loves or like me a lot when i don't. I think you should stop telling her you love her if you don't wanna creep her out

    Have you ever asked her how she feels about you? I mean, she knows the way you feel about her, but what about the way she feels about you? Do you know?

    I wouldn't say she's using you. It sounds more like she might be in a tight spot. She might feel a little pressured, like you're coming on too strong. Maybe you should just lay off for a little while and see if she comes around. She might feel unsure about her feelings, or maybe just a little uncomfortable. If that fails, talking with her about it, would probably be the best way to go.

      I did actually she said a few months back she wanted to date me but she had gotten over her feelings by the time I realized I loved her. I agree with you saying she might be in a tight spot, and she has to study for exams coming up everyday from the 14th to the 17th. I'm gonna take your advice and lay low and see if that works. It's just really hard because my feelings are so strong =(. Thanks for your input!
