To love your close male friend is a real mess. What are you going to do when you discover that he does not feel the same way about you? You might think that stopping hanging out together or calling him at night will help you heal.
But is this really effective? You cannot ask anyone to give you a piece of advice regarding this because you should decide on your own. What might be helpful for someone else might not suit you.
But the recommended thing is trying to keep the distance between the person you love and yourself.
The distance here may involve stopping seeing him for a few weeks or months, traveling somewhere you always wanted to go to, being with other girlfriends or anything else which does not involve seeing his face. Keep space because you deserve some happiness as well.

Neuroscience reveals that unrequited love is responsible for the loss and misery you will feel after being left alone and knowing the bitter truth.
In the neurology of lost love, obsession, intrusive ideas, impulsive actions, and decisions are detected because your brain is trying to process a lot of things. You might get the impression that the sort of pain you are dealing with now will stick around for a long time.
Of course, this is not true and yet you will still feel so. His images will stick to your mind like glue; this is what happens when you cannot stop thinking about him. This is not to worry about because your feelings are a result of the surges of brain hormones.
Normally, in a healthy relationship, with two people in love with each other, the lifespan of their love can last from 6 months to 2 years.
However, when that love is hindered by an obstacle, like having no similar emotions in return, the obsession can last for years. So accept that your romantic love for him is invisible to him and go through the healing process.
