My best friend had recently breakup with his gf because she is going to marry with other guy. He is having hard time to forget her although he shares everything with me and i listen to him patiently and gives him support to get through this hard time.We don't live in the same city so i call and send encouraging messages to him daily. I am in love with him(he knows that) and he had feelings for me too but now he is missing her ex gf a lot and i m feeling that he making distance with me because he calls less.What should i do now? How to make him feel better and realize him that i love him more than anyone in this world. I want to see him happy because whatever hurts him hurts me too.Please help me i know that right now he is not ready to get involved into any relationship but plz tell me how to make him fall in love with me..?

Um.. that's a mistake. I wouldn't try and make him fall in love with you. Making a man fall in love with you, is a great way to end up very unhappy. Just... be a friend. When he calls, talk. If he doesn't call, then that is a sign he's not interested.

yes my friend it is really hard to forget someone whom you cherish most but you know, in giving Love it is not always expected of what you give is the same that you will gain in return. Love gives sacrifices, but it doesn't mean you will earn the same, If you want to love someone give it heartily, but you must learn too to let go.

The thing is, if you want this guy to fall in love with you then you shouldn't get him while he's only just broken up with his girlfriend. A man on the rebound will often fall "in love" with the first person who shows any interest just because they're there and willing to have a relationship with him. This isn't a good idea as you might end up getting hurt in the long term, and you won't be able to tell whether his feelings are genuine for you or not. You should be a shoulder to cry on for the moment and let him know that you're alway there for him, but don't try to push for feelings that might not be real, as it will only hurt you in the future.

As a bestfriend, you do not need to do anything right now especially if he is hurting. All you have to do is to listen to him and understand him. Give him some time and don't expect him to turn out his feelings to you right after his heartache because you may end up being a rebound. Always assure him that you will always be at his side no matter what, who knows he may feel the same way for you after he has moved on with his heart being broken.
