I have fallen in love with my best friend at work?

I have fallen in love with him. He's not interested in me that way as people had tried to set us up some time ago, and he declined. I can't stop thinking about him and my work productivity is decreasing as well as my life at evenings as I just can't get him out of my head. I can't tell him as I know he'll freak out. Please can someone offer some advice on how to not think about him, as I need to get on with my own life, and I am perfectly fine being his friend rather than nothing at all, which I know would happen if I told him my feelings for him.

    Getting involved with anyone at work on a personal, let alone romantic level is probably the worst thing you can do for your job security. That is probably why he is not interested in a relationship.

    Take a class at your community college, or an evening dance class to meet other singles. Church or Temple is a good place to find good singles. Fill your time constructively, not destructively to your heart.

    In some ways I can kind of relate with my work romance. Maybe you should tell him you feel. He might just be a shy guy. Because guys don't like to be set up unless they approve it. he might change his mind if you set it up yourself. Do you ever talk to him that much? Get to know him and flirt with him. Thats a sure way to let him know that you are definitely interested.

    So be perfectly fine being his friend. I don't think you are though, otherwise you wouldn't waste the 5 points to post.

    Move on!

    u need to date other people. even though u don't think u can't get him out ur system. U need to see other people. in time u will think about him less & less. what is it that u really like about him?? look for those qualities in someone available to you.
