So I have been best friends with this girl since high school. She was the first person I met at a new school in a town I had just moved to. We hit it off and became friends and became inseparable. 

We would discuss relationships and wingman each other and we built a great friendship on mutual trust and respect. 

About 4 years ago I started to develop feelings for this girl. I told her how I felt and nothing ever came of it but we remained close friends. But now it has gotten to the point where I need to move on and the only way I think I can do that is by ending this friendship we have had for 12 years. 

This is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made because despite my feelings she is still a great friend. I think its time for me to become emotionally available to other women and move on. 

I am not sure if it is wise to throw away a friendship like this when I have so few close friends to begin with but I think it is necessary for me to move on and try and forget this girl.
