I'm in love with him, he loves me as a friend. Should I let go?

I love my friend unconditionally and he told me before that he has strong feelings for me too but he always detaches everytime he feels it. He's still inlove w/ his ex gf whom he just broken up with 3 weeks ago and he's in so much pain. I can't stand seeing him like this and it also hurts me everytime he tells me how much he loves her. I did everything I could possibly can but it doesn't work. I tried to say goodbye but he didn't want me to go. I don't know what to do because I know he needs me to be there as a friend but at the same time it breaks my heart knowing that he only loves me as a friend. We became intimate with each other before and everytime he gets attached, he finds a way to detach. And no he didn't cheat on his ex with me, it happened when they were just friends too. Why do guys detach everytime they get attach? And how do I get over my love for him and just be a friend? Should I leave now even if his heartbroken and depressd?

If you love him unconditionally then you should be able to be a friend because this is what he wants. I know that isn't what you want. You are lucky to have a friend and tha you love him unconditionally. However, I believe you need to move on and find someone that could love you intimately for who you are to him and you to him. There are a lot of great guys out there and all you have to do is just look for him. There is a guy just waiting for you so that you the two can start a new wonderful life together. You can continue to have your friends and that should be a threat to your love.

It sounds as if he is not ready to commit to your relationship. He has many conflicting feelings and emotions to deal with. That is why he is attaching and detaching. He has no idea where he is going. Even though it is painful now, it's much more painful to step into a serious long term relationship knowing that your boyfriend has these issues. That is a difficult road to take. You can't suddenly fall out of love. It's something that happens naturally. You could take at least as an intention take into consideration that this may not work out long term. Even if nothing follows that intention right after and just live with this day by day. See what happens. Life has the habit to surprise you.

give him time to let go of his girlfriend and send small signals that you could possibly have a connection with him then if he started liking you then you could make a move

Give him space!
If you give him space he will be able to actually understand who he really likes you or the ex. Your always there and you always will be. That's why he doesn't understand if he likes you and needs you in any other way.
And honestly Spidey, your like he's heart broken and he's suffering and he's upset! And what are you? over the moon or just came back from there. Why doesn't he feel sorry for you why doesn't he support you and be a friend to you. Not because he's a bad guy but you wont let him.Do yourself a favour

Tell him, your really sorry about his suffering and his heart being broken, but tell him you can only handle one broken heart at a time and that's your own. Dont tell him you like him he already knows ! Just say that you need some time to think things over and understand the situation because all you've done is baby sit him so you never got time to understand yourself. Tell him your always there but you need time. Please give yourself time and see if you really have feelings for him or feel sorry for him. There's a difference and sometimes we cant tell.

Whoa! You said you were going to leave him, but he didn't want you to. Whose life are you living? Yours or his?

You'd better cut your losses and move on here, honey. There is no future for you with him except as an occasional comfort lay for him. If you think that's all you're good for, hang around. Otherwise, make a life for youself.
