Has anyone had this feeling?

I used to have a close friend like that and we got along well too. If you want to talk more about this in private, you can always message me. I can understand that you'd rather not discuss certain things publicly.

Have you ever considered that maybe you're fearful of the way that you feel? Having strong emotions for someone can be a bit frightening at times, as well as intimidating. Take time to reflect on this before making any decisions you may later regret. I say this coming from a place of personal experience with a man I finally felt "right" with, loved truly, and never stopped loving. He has since passed away, and to this day, I sincerely know he was the one that got away. Now, I know that's a bit extreme and not your situation; however, due to lack of a better way of saying things, think before you run.

I've been in that situation for 10 years now. No I'm not very old lol it all started as a highschool "love" and it turned out to be a bond so strong that even after trying to move on, no one else appeals. So yes, I guess the answer to your question is yes. Been there, done that. I was and am sure that he is the one I kinda should be marrying because he is the only guy I have ever been physically attracted to, apart from being emotionally connected. But then, we can't really be together for reasons. He wants to, I can't. So yup. But I've finally let go because life has thrown at be a problem where I've lost my best friend and have to sort out my own sanity. And I realized that this back and forth feelings and hanging on and letting go was just making things complicated. But I know it is difficult to ignore that magical connection isn't it? Enjoy the feeling... but be level headed and remember not to drain yourself in it. And with time, you'll realize what is right. for you. Let me know if you wanna discuss. Tc

You may be correct in the feeling that you guys can not be together right now. But you never know what the future holds. A deep and meaningful connection can sometimes be rare (for a friendship or romantic relationship). I personally would just see what happens, it could go in any direction, but if it continues to be a great friendship or grows into something more then it would be worth the wait in my opinion. A lot of times you don't realize why people come into your life until further on down the road.
