I have made the mistake of admitting to a friend that I have feelings for him - more than a friendship. We have been intimate with each other about 3 times. Everything was fine until I mentioned my feelings to him. I wasn't asking him for a relationship but he took it that way. I have since then been pouring my heart out to him and pretty much looking insane.
Is there any way to save it? I know he has feelings for me.
Please help... and tell me how to reverse the damage I have done.

cannot reverse what you've said, but that is not neccessarily a bad thing. talk it out with being too emotional about it, is there any reason he doesn't want to take things a bit further? is he nervous about something or afraid of something? is he maybe just uncomfortable hearing you give your heart felt emotions right now? communication is key, maybe he wants more but wants to go slowly and with how you have been telling him how you feel, he feels that he would have to jump right in? maybe explaining that you guys can take it slowly, and tell him to tell you when he is feeling uncomfortable about the feelings that are being shared.

What you have done is fairly normal for someone that is falling in love. It is always a risk you take when you decide to tell the other partner you are ready for more than a fling.
Where you go from here depends upon where he is at. One thing you most assuredly must do is to back way off until you know how he feels. If you don't you'll sound desprate and that will turn him off. What is done is done and so what you do now is all that is important. If he has feelings for you he will understand and now it is up to him to respond. If you continue to tell him how much you care for him and he doesn't respond you risk loosing him all together.
Play it cool. Act like it never happened but don't compromise yourself. If you want a relationship and all he wants is to be intimate, you have a right to know that.
If you know he has feelings for you then you should be able to talk with him about this and where you go from here. You must decide what you want first. If he only just likes you then he will be quite content to continue your intimate relationship. Pay very close attention to that. If you loose him over this you never really had him in the first place.

damages has been done yohanna... for now, I think you should focus on some things that can help you to easily forget your feelings towards your friend.. I am not blaming you because for doing a wrong move.
I know you are having a hard time thinking on how to fix everything. Good Luck!!

I would say just pretend like nothing happened, and try to act normal around him. I know that is hard to do. I have been in a situation with a friend who I have hooked up with a few times, but never said anything about feelings (we were just friends) but we just never brought stuff up and acted the same as always. So I would just act like nothing happened... and don't get intimate with him again! Because that is just going to cause you more heartache! Avoid that at all costs even if it is difficult, just to protect yourself!
Unless he admits he has feelings for you, its hard to know for sure, and I wouldn't try convincing him he does. If he does like you, and you act normal, that is why he liked you in the first place, and he will like you for it. I don't know if this is best of advice though, but good luck to you!
