Is it possible to convert friendship to more please?

[triffiks]

Can a platonic (me male) friendship change to more?We lived together as mates only and now she lives 2 miles away. Still sees me and she knows how i feel. Im 59 she 42.Is there any hope. shes adorable. Evertime i have to go back to mine i feel physically ill.

Of course there's hope. Age difference doesn't matter, it's if you love that person. I know she lives 2 miles away but that doesn't matter really; you can still meet eachother!
In what way do you feel physically ill? If it's exhaustion (If you walk), then see if public transport can take you there.
Your friendship can be more if you say the right words. Just say that you love her and continue on from there.

The age gap is irrelevant. You need to tell her clearly how you feel and what it is you would like. Take it from there, but don't sit stewing on this for much longer as not knowing is worse then dealing with the situation and moving on. Hopefully the direction you can move will be the right one.

Good luck

If I may, I'll give you a very sound piece of advice about women -

If a woman wants to be more than friends, she will let you know.

The fact that this lady knows how you feel about her, and has not given you any indication that she feels the same way, points to the fact that she doesn't share your feelings.

If being with her as a friend is hurting you so much, my advice is to walk away. If you try and push things, you will loose her as a friend, so you must either accept that she sees you only as a friend, and that is all you will be, or you must end your relationship.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you have a long hard objective look at the way she behaves with you, you will see that there are no signs of encouragement there.

I hope you get past this soon.

I am sorry.
