apologies. i need a good rant.
i have this friend...she's my best friend ashally...has been for 15+ years.
she always makes these jokes about how much easier her life would be
if she were gay because we could totally date.
we've always joked about this...only problem is i'm not joking any more.
i realized recently that i have been completely in love with her since high school.
and there really isn't any chance of us being together...i realize this...
and it sucks...i really needed to rant.
you lot got nominated for the audience, because she also happens to be the
person i would normally rant to about such things.
i expect no replies...just needed to vent to someone.
have an alien by way of apology. his name is ralph.

Is it romantic love you feel? Or a deep, semi-obsessive platonic love for a friend?
And are you sure she's joking?

and so are you - sorry situation but, as you probably already know, you'll get by it. face it, friends as good as yours are rare, and NOT being lovers can save a friendship. treasure the friendship, it's worth not ruining.

thats why i'm not saying anything...
i have realized through conversations with others that
having my first actual relationship "like that" be with my
best friend would probably not be wise. tis hard though.
we've always joked that we're secretly soul mates.

(warning - don't read this if you are on the fence)
imagine in fifteen years you've both had failed relationships and she looks at you and says it all over again and you make mad passionate love and move in together and die in one another's arms when you're both ninety-three. you'd have wasted fifteen years of good fucktime before you got saggy!

MY OPINION: I'd talk to her about it. It'll be better to have it out in the open and won't make the relationship feel uncomfortable. (Well, it's probably going to feel a bit uncomfortable either way, but at least if you talk about it it'll feel uncomfortable for the right reason). If she's known you for 15 years, she probably suspects it anyway. Listen to what other people suggest. There are a pretty good group of people on here, even if they sometimes seem like juvenile pervs. ;-)
And sincerely, best of luck in retaining the friendship, whatever you decide.

She and I were involved in the longest-running game of Truth or Dare in the history of the internet over webcam. That was my dare for her.

I feel for you, hon. Even though I'm usually the guy on b3ta who comes running in the room with the camera and the tripod (you know, in case i'm invited to join in), I can sympathize with you. Whether gay or straight, it comes down to 'how do you approach your friend and tell them you want to be more than that'. The easiest answer is that you can't. At least not right off. You're better off finding another person to be attracted to in the short run. Advantages to that include no loss of best-friendship if turned down, the opportunity to see if you enjoy 'playing for the other team', and the possibility that your friend may become jealous and realize she feels the same way.
Sorry for the long winded response.

serious answer: postbear's right, better to leave it be and not chance ruining the friendship.
unserious answer: get her to have a threesome with you and another guy, even if it seems it's about the guy, you'll technically have had sex with each other
that should break the ice

She's at a sensitive age. Don't mess with them during their formative years. You'll make them gay.

And all will be ok. If shes a true friend, and she sounds like she is, then she'll understand. I have a similar situation with a girl everyone thinks is really suited to me, and we're really good friends, but I was young and shallow and missed my chance...
The passionate side of me is saying "Take the chance! You'll never know for sure otherwise!"
And none of this is probably helping...
