: Hal, you sound like you have been giving this thought, & that you are being honest with yourself. I hope that you will continue to do this, and that if it becomes too painful, you will be able to get some distance from her.

: I really feel for you & I understand that you don't want to give up the friendship. I just hope that your are not just hanging in there with the hope that some day her feelings will change. They most likely won't. My friend was hanging in there for those reasons, even though he constantly reassured me of the contrary. That is what is so frustrating for me.

: I know you have to do what feels right for you; I hope it doesn't end up causing you more pain. I do believe there are people out there who are right for you; it just takes time to find them. I know how difficult this can be.

: Do give up - hang in there ;-)

Thank you for the support. Yes, I have given this a lot of thought--I really can't help it since she's on my mind often. At this point I'm not really sure how much of it is hanging in there hoping her feelings will change. Part of it is, but everything is quite confusing right now. I do know that I was good friends with her for over 6 months before I became romantically attracted, so there is definitely more there. That part seems to be worth any trouble to hold on to because it was and still is so wonderful.
