I have a story similar to yours, just that I'm the guy who got rejected? Haha.
I really liked this girl, and we became really close. She called me her best friend, I wanted to be something more.
We shared secrets, shared laughs, hung out, shared dreams for our future, helped each other with homework, etc. Apparently, she only looked at me as a best friend. She would ask me for help with this guy she was interested in, and every time it would hurt me so much. Yet I still helped her think of ideas to talk to him, tell her my opinions as a guy, etc. After a few months, I couldn't hold it in anymore and just confessed to her. I knew she didn't like me and I said I hoped we could still be friends and that I just needed to get the burden off my shoulders. She said she valued our friendship and said she wanted to still be best friends if i wanted to and if it wouldn't hurt me so much. Of course, I said yes. A few more months later, she told me the guy was a total douche and confessed to me that she fell for me a while ago. She said she didn't know how I felt about her anymore, that she probably hurt me too much and that she understands if I didn't like her back. She said she's willing to take a risk, just cause I'm me, and that she was too stupid to realize she had a great guy infront of her.
I was trying to forget my feelings for her, but after that I asked her out and we've been pretty happy.
4 months so far.
