I’m a 20-year-old guy, and during college I became close friends with a girl from one of my classes. She told me early on that she had a boyfriend, so I kept things platonic. But over time, I developed feelings for her — deeper than I expected. I tried to push them down and stay just friends, but the feelings only grew, especially after we started hanging out less. It got to the point where I couldn’t stop thinking about her, and I felt completely consumed.
