I finally worked up the courage to tell my friend of over 10 years that I'm in love with her. Her response was 'I like you as a friend'. I'm hurting so bad I don't know what to do. She is behaving as if I said nothing to her. I'm so confused and hurt. I feel myself going into a downward spiral and don't know what to do. I've tried ending all communication and she says it's hard staying away from me. I feel stuck but I need to protect my self and my feelings. Suggestions?
