I posted a thread a long time ago about some girl help. However, the situation completely changed. I planned on asking her out after prom because I couldn't go to prom. I tried to just show her that I was there for her etc. and make it apparent that I wanted to be with her. Last week, she confronted me about liking her, and I told her the truth, including the part about asking her out. I then asked her how she felt about everything and she told me that she only considered me as a friend. That really hurt, and I saw it coming, but I guess that I was just being naive and blind. The part that hurts the most is that she is like really crazy about another guy and hangs out with him 24/7. He likes her too, but he is hesitant about dating her because of college. In the midst of this, I feel like our old, strong friendship started to crumble. We don't talk as much anymore and I just really miss all the times where we mindlessly used to stay up late at night chatting about the stupidest things. I just don't really know what to do. We are kind of fine for the most part in person, but it isn't the same. We told each other that our friendship wouldn't change, and I don't want it to. She knew that I liked her a really long time ago, but we got even closer during that time. Now that she has started to befriend this guy and his friends, we are just drifting apart. It really is painful and it's affecting me a whole lot, socially and academically.

What I'm trying to ask is how can I get over her, and yet renew our friendship? And how can I stop thinking about all of this. It is reallyl tearing me apart and I feel like total crap.
