Right, i am male and i Have strong felings for a close female friend (lets call her "Dawn"), it got to a point where lying to her was tearing me apart, so i told her how i felt, and as i expected, she didn't reciprocate, but we still stayed friends, and got closer because of it, it got to a point where she was actually considering going out with me, we even went out a few times as friends, but then suddenly everything changed, and now she doesn't like to talk to me, and never smiles when im around, but when she doesn't know im there she is always happy, and a few days ago she finally said she hates me, but then she started being nice again, and then went back again and keeps switching round, also, her love life has been littered with bombs (every single boy she's ever liked or been out with has humiliated/emotionally hurt her), one of them is my best friend (she says she used to like him, but its obvious she still does, and he always hurts her, but when i ask him to stop he just laughs), everyone else but me seems to be cruel to her, and every now and again i challenge someone about what they say about her (im a non-violent cowardly wimp, but the snide remarks make my blood boil) she has a go at me! Everytime i try to help her she hurts me, and watching her get hurt hurts me, theres nothing i can do, and its been depressing me, last time i stopped someone she said i didn't understand her, so what dont i get? She changed over night ffs, because of her i feel like shit all the time, yet if she smiles at me im under her spell once again! I cant get over her either, what should i do?
