I just wna stop loving him cause I know he's not going to like me anymore again but I still...

want to be good mates, how can I stop myself talking to him?
stop him flirting for a while? but still be really good friends?

ummm ???!!!

well the exact same thing happened with me and a guy who is like my best guy friend, and I dont no what you should do, but I still love him and cant stop thinkin bout him ever, so if you really do love him, nothin you do can change that, but you could try just simply not talkin to him 4 a little while, or just not as much, or tell him that you have a boyfriend or somethin?

just tell him how you feel and tell him you know he doesnt feel the same or just tell him hes an unconcious flirter
pretty much every one is
