<human>: Just some information to give context to the situation: I've known this girl for nearly five years. Very close friends, often staying up until 4am on Skype after a game of Cards Against Humanity. Same dark sense of humor, similar tastes in partners, and I've known her for a while - bare-bones, I know, those are just a few of the reasons I like her.

Two months ago I noticed I started to develop romantic feelings for her. She was in a relationship at the time so I didn't express how I felt because I didn't want to complicate things with her. Now that she is single again, my feelings for her have flared up and I'm unsure how to deal with them.

It doesn't help that there are other men interested in her - one of them even tried to kiss her two days ago. There are about six guys in total who like her, including her ex-boyfriend. I kept these feelings bottled up because I didn't want to add to the total and just be another thirsty guy chasing after her.

Yesterday I wound up telling her I liked her and we talked about it on Skype for most of the early morning. She never gave an explicit opinion either way and said she found that I liked her "interesting", also mentioning that she just needs some time to clear her head after her break-up because she wasn't sure how she felt about getting into another relationship so soon after her previous one.

I would like to be friends with her - she means a lot to me and I don't want to lose her. She mentions that we're still at the same place we were - just friends - but I'm worried that my crush on her will have a negative impact on our friendship.

I'm following the obvious advice - give her some space, don't pressure her into a choice, and I don't want to pursue her. I want to be rid of these feelings for someone who isn't interested in reciprocating, and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be very helpful.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Have a crush on best friend, she says it's ok but I'm not sure how to get rid of these feelings. Very confused about what actions to pursue.
