Good luck man. What helped me with these kind of problems in the past is reading about how your own mind is probably working:

Once I realized that, pretty much every difficulty in life was easily accepted so I could move on.

Perhaps this will help you in a way as well.

Best of luck. It may sound a bit cliché, but you'll come out stronger.
 
Have you told her how you feel?

Telling her how you feel and hearing from the horses mouth whether or not she is actually interested in you has to be better than just letting some other guy move in because you are too afraid of a knock back.

I know her telling you she's not interested is not what you want to hear and your instincts tell you to softly softly piss around in the hope she makes the first move but sometimes you have to grab life by the balls. There's nothing worse than losing a gal to another guy just because you were too scared to say anything. Her telling you she's not interested will also give you the closure you need because you'll always be wondering what if otherwise and that's a lot worse in the long run than a kick back.
 
sucks to hear man, drop us a pm if you wanna vent or your feelin' lonely, always got time to talk to fellow gaffers
 
Well she was friendly she told you about it herself, but was she appearing still interested in you until yesterday? I think you should have made move long ago.
 
You have to, for the sake of your sanity, find a way to get her jealous. You've made yourself too readily available to her. I'm not telling you this just as a female, but as a fucking doormat that's been in your situation before. You need a better head on your shoulders. Maybe suffer a little bit, but don't dwell and move the fuck on, quickly (make her jealous). Make your congratulations and "I'm so happy for you'se" sound trite and by-the-book. Basically, like empty complements.

no better way to make her jealous than new vagina...

if he play his cards right he can have old and new vagina for a while...
 
University counselor? Sounds like you're young, correct me if I'm wrong. Man, being young sucks...emotions are so strong. Anyway, in your shoes I would stop talking to this girl cold turkey. She'll probably try to contact you, keep your communications brief, though don't come off as totally icey. Over time she will lose interest, you'll stop being friends and you won't look like the bad guy ya know? Over time you will get over the loss and heartache and learn from it, grow as a person. Perhaps you can rekindle a friendship later on, but in the meantime, find other girls, go live, life is short. I only recommend doing this since it seems to hurt you so.
 
I predict much happiness for you in the future, with someone other than this woman. You'll be fine bro. Good move on the counselor thing, you don't want your schoolwork to suffer because of this. Stay busy.
 
Story goes back to around two years ago when I broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years. It was tough at first but I managed to get over it. Fast forward to around 1 year later, I started to get to know my ex's best friend from high school. (They now live in different countries, far away from each other, but they are still in contact, usual best friend relations)

Anyway the more we had conversations, I found out how much she's like myself, our personality and taste in everything is almost identical. I started to have very strong feelings for her, and told her about it, but she said she felt bad about it because my ex was her best friend and all. Although I could clearly see that she was also interested in me and she was holding back because of her friend.

I had hoped over time she would eventually get over it and we could be together. At the same time I tried to date other girls but It was useless since I'm too picky when it comes to girls (in terms of personality, not hotness, looks, etc). I ended up comparing everyone to her and result was not being interested in anyone, except her.

Around three months ago she got way more friendlier than before and we had more conversations and fun than ever. I knew she was the one, I felt extremely in love with her (I still do).

Until yesterday when she told she had a date with this guy who is also a mutual friend, she wanted to tell me about it herself, rather than I find out from someone else. I told her I was thankful that she did, then we talked about it for like 2 hours. But man, my world went upside down. It was a heavy blow. I've never felt like this before, even when I broke up with my ex.

And here I am, depressed as fuck. I'm going through hell right now... I'm having serious motivational problem and feel like my life is pointless. I'll go see the university counselor tomorrow, but I need something to keep me up till then.
The bold and underlined above is wrong. Deal with it.

I've dated an ex's sister. I've dated an ex's best friend. Hell, I've had the best friend of my then current girlfriend make a very thinly veiled pass at me. If the girl is REALLY that into you she'll get it sorted with her friend.

If she's that in to you and you broke up with her friend two years ago there is NO WAY she's letting that stand in the way of her dating you.

Sounds to me like you're friend zoned to the extreme. She's at least nice enough and aware enough to recognize your interest and be polite about it, but that's all you are. This is probably partly a result of you being her "dick under glass" too, so you got that going for you. Give up any delusions that she reciprocates your feelings to the same degree and move on.
 
You're depressed because a chick you like doesn't like you back? Krist dude, the entire male population is in depression then. Seriously. There's a dating thread, there's even a depression thread, though I don't think you belong in there because it just sounds like you're a lovesick puppy. Get over it.

hot girls have got problems too!
 
I'm depressed because every single decision that I've made in my life, decisions that affect me, I have regretted. Every one, and I keep doing them daily. One of these days I'm just going to crack and I'm not looking forward to it yet I'm frozen in place staring at it like the headlights of a train inevitably approaching me because I can't fucking take control of my pathetic existence...
 
Thanks Tashbrooke, will drop a pm if I felt worse.

As I said in the OP, I told her I loved her long ago, but at that time she said she felt bad because I was her best friend's ex. Then I told her again yesterday, and asked if she had feelings for me. She somehow dodged the question by saying she now feels bad that I'm sad and if I had done something similar she would shocked. But she would be happy if I'm happy.

no better way to make her jealous than new vagina...

I don't think I can do that, basically playing with someone else's emotion and I'm almost not interested in anyone else except her.

I'm 22 btw, if anyone is concerned about my age.
 
I think your basing too much of your happiness on women. Do you have other friendships, interesting hobbies, are you working on improving yourself physically, mentally, and socially? Have you done anything adventurous of late?

It's normal to be down when someone you like rejects you, but there is more to life than just this one girls favor.

Stop communicating with this girl for a while. One day you'll mature to the point that you can be friends and not give a fuck if she doesn't want to be with you. As someone so eloquently put "find a new vagina".

Gotta agree with this...
 
Corky, I know that feel bro.

--------

As I said I managed one break up just fine when I was 19 and much younger, but this situation is something else. It hurts so bad cause I love her so much.

I'm planning to move to Germany in April to continue my masters. She said she wanted to move there too once she graduated. And she was/is serious about it. Not sure what the hell should I do with my life from this point.

You should stop being someone else's safety blanket and try..living your life?

"Oh you're moving to Germany?! I wanna go too! We can live together! Then you can make me hot cocoa and I can tell you about the guy who pounded my ass last night! We can talk about it for 2 hours! BFF!"

This is pretty funny to read. No offense.

You make it sound like your life is now over or something. It's not. You'll find someone else to fall in love with and life will go on.

Yes it's that simple.
 
Break that tie man. This world we live in is a big one, and is full of possibilities. She's choking those possibilities. Trust me, I spent half my high school life pining over some bitch. I missed out on the nuances of being a teenager, and I appreciate now how care-free my life really was, and how I didn't really have anything to worry about.
 
most guys who write/feel stuff like this are doomed, I say, doooooomed to end up with some girl who will be with them for the better part of their adult lives. So don't worry. It feels like hell shit now, and it will for a little while, but like they say "some day you will look back longingly on these days"

In the meantime, enjoy your 22-ness because some chick out there has got your number and perhaps neither of you know it at this moment, but she is gunning for you, and every day from this point forth you will inch ever closer to that day when your horrible, horrible freedom is revoked.. permanently

This is a really hopeful and positive post. I like you. More Gaffers like you please.

You're going to have to deal with that. Your young and you'll soon forget about it when you are hanging out the back of something else.

We've all been blinded. It's nothing new. Learn to accept reality, learn to forget - it's not too difficult at the stage you are at with her. It takes time and the willingness to accept that you need to move on. When you're not so blinded by just one person, you'll all of a sudden start finding new women who are awesome. We trick ourselves like this all the time.
 
Why exactly is it supposed to be easier to get over girls when you are young?

Surely you have less control over your emotions, it can hit you pretty damn hard. There was me hoping it gets better with age, not the opposite.
