Is it normal to still have feelings for my bestfriend

I'm a guy and my bestfriend is a girl and we've known eachother for 4 years and I told her how I felt on 3 occasions and each time ended in rejection. She says she doesn't want it to ruin our friendship. After all of this time I've found it impossible to move on. I treat her great but she only gives asshole guys a chance.

    I was in almost the exact same situation as you described. I liked this girl so much, but she didn't feel the same way about me. We had known each other for about 3 or 4 years, and one day I just got fed up with being around her. It was hurting me more to be around her and not be able to be with her than it was for me to be alone and by myself without her. She was a good friend and we connected on an intellectual level that is very rare for me, but she used me and I am still not quite sure if she realized that she was hurting me. Just tell her that you understand if she doesn't like you the same way that you like her, but that you need more than just friendship and if she can't give that to you, then you need to move on. Trust me because I know that it is VERY hard, but in the long run you will hurt less if you do this.

      I feel for you dude, I'm literally in the exact same situation right now as you just described, almost word for word. I think I've hit that point with her, because I'm noticing lately all I can think about is stuff that she's done that's hurt me, and it's causing me to talk to her less. Hopefully everything worked out for you in the long run.

    Dude, stop being friends with her! It's clearly not going anywhere that you want (i.e. she doesnt want to date you) and its not only preventing you from dating other amazing girls but Im sure the rejection and constant longing cant exactly be beneficial for your self esteme (sp??) Get out there and live life, it wont come and find you, you've got to chase after it
