Hello everyone:
Last week on Thursday, I met with my Virguy friend. I have been having feelings for him for a long time and confessed for the first time about a year ago. He told me that he had feelings as a friend. I swollowed my pride took some time off and he contacted me to be friends again. I was fine until we started to hang out again (his idea) and I developed the feelings again. I distanced myself for couple of months to cool off but it seems like everytime we hang out, I get the feelings again. I realized I am in love, a feeling I have not exprienced since I lost my first love 10 years ago (he was shot- wrong place, time and got invovled with the wrong people). Anyways I could not hold my feelings any longer and I had to either try to put them in the back burner or be honest with myself and him and tell him about them again. I chose the latter, so I told him that I have very deep feelings for him and that it was very hard for me to just be friends. I also explained that it is something that I have not felt for anyone in a long time and that it was like my first love, whom I respected and cherished dearly. He knew of my last relationship which was 3 years ago and that my ex fiance cheated on me because I wanted to wait after we are married to have sex (too idealistic and pathetic, I know, but it was my choice). I have told him before that I have been with 2 guys before, which were my first love and my ex-fiance. However he understood that I have slept with them, when that was not the case and I admitted to him the last time that I have never slept with a man before (I know pathetic again). He smiled and said that was my choice. After I told him about my feelings he said that he was lucky to have someone like me in his life that cared so much about him. He also said that he did not want to ruin the relationship but he did not give me any answer as to what we were going to do if anything. He hugged me and said take care. Days have passed and I have not heard anything from him. I think he dumbed the friendship and it was all because of me, because I could not suppress my feelings. I am the reason that destroyed the friendship.

Is there any way I can reverse the damage?

Unless you can turn your feelings off for him...which you've already admitted you cant then it has to be the way it is. Just as well he is an awesome guy that wouldnt take advantage of you in that way, your vunerability. But he's done the best thing by you by distancing himself. Someone will come around the corner one day and they will be willing to wait until you are ready whether that be by marriage or whenever you choose. STOP making excuses for the way you feel about sex before marriage. GOOD ON YOU for having the class to be able to stick with that, you are one in a million!

I am going through this with a Cap male as well. I got so sick to my stomach last week, that I had to bite the bullet and distance myself. It's killing me. I miss him. We haven't talk about any of it yet, but his actions speak louder than any words, and if there's one thing I've learn is that you never back someone into a corner if there are signs that they are not ready to move forward.
