Wow, you guys are all awesome! It is helpful to hear other people's opinions...and nothing anyone is posting is really surprising me. Gee, this is kind of like a free therapy or something! I really do appreciate everyone's posts.

So you're all validating what I already know but I don't want to accept. I either get over it and find contentment with the platonic friendship, or I stop hanging out with him so much. Either option will be hard. Not sure which way it will go, but I'll definitely be thinking on it. And thinking. And thinking. Part of my problem may be a biological clock issue too...I'm 35-ish so I'd like to get the family thing started already! But I do realize the chances of this friendship developing into anything more (let alone a family!) are about zero percent.

Btw, I love When Harry Met Sally...one of my co-workers and I are constantly quoting it. And not just the famous restaurant scene!
