Long story short, she's got a boyfriend, but we're just great friends. For some reason I seem to think that she has feelings for me when she most likely doesn't. Confrontation would only likely yield embarrassment and make our friendship awkward which I don't want.

I long for companionship from a girl, and she's just so perfect at least in my eyes. I probably mistake her friendship towards me as being an attraction because she's the only close female friend I have. She's so caring and great.

This has been going on for too long though. I need to move on, but I'm struggling. Even whilst on summer holiday I've still thought of her and it won't budge from my mind. We're both heading off to different Universities in October so I won't see her that frequently (they're not close to each other).

I don't want her on my mind throughout the holiday, it's been bugging me and I can't really help it. We've been friends for so long that I can't just ignore the feelings or try to forget about her. I want to remain friends because we're great friends and I won't just shut her out of my life.

What can I do to try to move on?
