Hello! 16 year old guy here.
As I said in the title, I've realized that I may be gay/have developed feelings for a close friend of mine. I'm fairly sure he doesn't reciprocate these feelings and probably never will so to save myself some heartache I'd like to end it right here. He's my best friend and we've known each other for a good 4 and a half years, which makes things all the worse. I would like to get over him but keep him as close a friend as he already is..if that is possible. How could I go about this? If any more details are needed please let me know.
