What do you do when you're in love with a close friend who you know doesn't love you romantically? Is the best option to distance yourself?

you cant ever be fully sure that its not mutual. but usually confessing is pretty high risk and I would probably try to push that person away, even though I doubt thats the best thing to do. Either distance yourself, or if ur ready to take the risk of stopping the friendship completely - might try to confess
