What do you do when your friend loves you, and you can't love her back in the right way?



Well, you could try what I did: convince yourself you maybe do feel the same once she finally admits her crush, give it a go of dating for a pre-defined period of a couple months, constantly feel you're doing it wrong, feel guilty for years afterwards that she's lonely in a way that you can't help, and eventually accept that it's not your fault you don't swing that way (or any way) so you can finally achieve true peace. It worked out in the end, but I don't know that I'd recommend it.
