I know this is hard and painful, but we can't force someone to love us just because we love them. At some level, we all have to realize that the right person will come along for us. While we are waiting for this magical event, we have to work on ourselves non-stop to be the best person we can possibly be while we are waiting. ;) That means doing things to build our self-confidence by succeeding in our life activities. If Madame X just wants to be your friend, it actually may be too painful for you to hang out with her right now. You do need to make some new friends and actually ask some other girls out, even though right now it may just be going through the motions. Get involved with new people and new activities and try to build a life separate from her. She may even look at the new you and think, "Hey, he's hot!" Wasting your life mooning after her will just make you seem pathetic to her and you don't want that. You could play a little harder to get and she may even start wondering why you are not panting over her as much as you used to. The more you move on, the more appealing you will become, not just to her, but to everybody else. "X", I am right. Please give this a try.;)

Love your best friend
