    Remember that there is nothing wrong with just being friends. Sometimes, I think there is an expectation that males and females should want to be more and it causes them to 'believe' that the feelings are deeper than they really are.

    Yes, that leads to burn out and 'poof' its all gone in a heartbeat.

    Its so easy to get carried away by those strong intense feelings.

    Thanks guys, I was working at the bar today and I told a friend that always come for a drink and he personally told me there wasn't a chance, so I will not bother with this relationship, but honestly I could say I really liked her and would like to protect her but from you guys I really learnt a lot of things, I will not bother with this because I have been drinking to get rid of this depression. Thanks.

    I hope this means that you will stop drinking to 'forget'. This may not be the right one for you, but there will be others.

    This is a bit of a red flag: "i really liked her and would like to protect her". I think you need to look for someone who doesn't need protecting. Someone who is willing to stand by your side and face whatever comes instead of someone who will stand behind you expecting you to fight her battles.

    Good luck.
