If you are in love with someone and that other person wants to "just be friends," you should either calm your enthusiasm about the other person or move on. You will find that you are in love by yourself if you continue to remain friends with the other person. Because of this feeling of love which is displaced if not returned, you will be adversely affected if your "friend" finds someone else and falls in love with that person. Waste your space with him or her because you have been told that that space may be reserved for someone other than you. Don't be in love by yourself.

You should not put yourself through the torment of hanging on to another person because you think that you are in love with him or her. The person may have told you that the relationship was null and void and if you continue to try to make something out of nothing then you are only wasting your time. You may say, well, there is always hope. Hope recently won a presidential election and why can't it work in your relationship. The difference in the two scenarios of hope is that one person told you that they just wanted to be friends, the presidential election was run with a lot of supporters. Without the support that you need from the other person, you will find yourself in love all by yourself.

Being in love by yourself is just like a puppy following his tail. He will never catch it because it may be unreachable. If the puppy does catch his tail, then he is in for discomfort because he is not supposed to be chasing it. You are not supposed to be chasing something or someone who has been presented to you as being off limits. Yeah, this is a free country and you can choose to feel whatever you want about another person as long as there is no wrongdoing or tort involved. But why bother if the person has his or her sights on something or someone other than you? Surely with 302 million Americans populating the country with an online community, you do not have to choose to be in love by yourself.

Consider this notion also. You may just be in love with love itself and that may be why you are having a difficult time facing the reality of the situation with your "just friendship status." How much do you know about the person who you think that you are in love with?You may only be experiencing infatuation which is a lot easier to be friends with than if you were in love with the guy. If you can only speak on topical things that is he or she was born with other than the acquired character and personality, then you may be in love with what you purports to be a lovely person. Put reality in the mix and start looking for things that are not so cool with this person. The most important thing would be that he told you that he just wanted to be "friends." End of story, that is not cool to say especially if your calculations added him or her up to be the love of your dreams. If you pepper the recipe up with a reality check, you may find that the main ingredient is missing and that is a reciprocation of your love. Don't be in love by yourself, it is not a good place to be and you should vacant the premises as soon as possible.

Why not turn the tables and fall in love with yourself and let what you deem as a prized possession go. Just let it go. There is no future in running on hope or chasing anyone like the puppy trying to catch his tail. Don't be in love by yourself. Become in love with yourself. Once you get to know yourself better, you can realize that the one who chose to be friends can be the ending in a chapter of book that should not have been opened in the first place.
