I Am In Love with My Best Friend

I’m in love with my best friend. We have been friends for almost 6 years now, he’s everything I need and want. He just got out of a four year relationship a few months ago. Recently I told him how I feel for him. Unfortunately, he said he looks at me as only his best friend and doesn’t think he could ever see me as more. Do you think this is because he is scared of getting hurt again or because I’m really just his best friend?
Unless there’s a specific reason to think otherwise you have to take him at his word. But that doesn’t mean you can’t try to work on him and see what happens. It also may have been just his initial reaction. Sometimes something like that can percolate in his mind and come to fruition. Time will tell.

Honestly, it is probably just a primal thing. We really can’t control who we are attracted to or fall in love with, no matter what our rational mind tells us. It is controlled by our primitive brain. I would try to salvage the friendship. You gave him a perfect opportunity to seal the deal, and he passed on it.
