Input: I have this long time friend, known her for around 7 or so years now.  The last two years, we've become neighboors so we hung out a lot.  Sometimes with a group, sometimes just the two of us.

Because of the oftenness of spending time with her, I've developed this crush.  So a few months back, I told her I liked her and I was surgically rejected.

I cooled of for a couple of weeks (or maybe a month), and then we began hanging out regularly like before as if nothing even happened.

fast forward four or six months, I gave it a go again.  I got the same answer. 

I'd like to keep in touch with this friend even if she keeps rejecting me.  I've come into terms that the chances of getting a romantic relationship with her is pretty slim, but I'd like to try and try until these feelings for her dry up because I thought that if I'm not gonna get what I want, I would feel less regret if I knew that I tried for it with all I have.  Because if I give it my all, I would never think "what if I tried.  what if I just threw away my pride and actually gave it my all".

The problem is, I've seen how uncomfortable she felt whenever rejecting me and I could see how guilty it made her feel.  I know that I can take getting rejected over and over again, but I'm not quite sure if I'm being fair to her for always putting her on the spot, knowing how guilt eats this person up (she's always been this guilt driven person who is constantly too nice for her own good).

So yeah, am I the asshole for always putting my friend up to the unpleasant task of rejecting me just so that at the end of the day, I'd feel like I gave it my all and not regret anything?

telling a friend that I like her even though she already rejected me once
