I don't think I would call it abandon. It may feel like that at this moment, but as you said, it is unilateral love. I am only speaking from personal experience and as the person I am and the way I see the world...not everyone is the same. Personally I would step back and distance myself from her for a few reasons. 1. Your feelings could cause a situation where you may be getting in the way of your friend and her new interest. While you may have feelings for her, you also need to respect her wish in who she chooses to date. 2. By remaining close to her while she is with someone else, may cause severe frustration and jealousy. 3. If Her friend was to ever find out about or suspect your feelings for Her, that could lead to confrontation and the possible loss of the friendship. I am not saying totally dust off your friendship with her, but do tactfully step aside and give both yourself and Her some breathing room but do by all means remain her friend. If things don't work out for Her and the new "someone" and if She was ever to find out about your feelings for Her, ... I would think that she would have an increased respect you for stepping back. Only my opinion.... best of luck to you my friend... that is a difficult situation. Hang in there, She may not be the one for you and who you may be looking for could be just around the corner.

I am afraid to tell you but yes, there is no point in loving someone who is attached to someone else. As although maybe someday she will leave this person, but then rebound and have regrets. So you can be-friend her and maybe, just maybe love could develop. In the interim I would suggest that you try really hard to deter your heart elsewhere or you will be so hurt watching her enjoy her love with someone else. Be well, and time will bring you someone you deserve.

Yes and No. True love doesn't come around as often as we expect or want it too... If you have true genuine feelings for this girl and you want to be with her then talk to her. Tell her how you feel, if its meant to be then it will happen if its not then you will have atleast tried to fight for what you dreamed of. You should never be left wonder what if, know even just so you can move on.

Well, this is a very sad situation. First of all, you have to know if the girl is really happy with her boy friend. If yes, then just let it be. If you really love the person, you have to support her in anything/anyone that she's happy with. It would be very painful but life is really like that. Maybe you are meant for someone else or maybe this is just not the right time. Don't let yourself focus to much on her. There are still many girls out there. Make yourself happy. If you both are really meant to be, then you'll end up together. Fortunately, if the girl is not happy with her boy friend anymore then you have a big chance. In time, maybe the girl will realize that it's you that she really loves.
