Well it's not that difficult to understand.
If you think about NS in kind of a real life situation the guy would already have moved on or atleast would be trying very hard to move on after not getting his feelings requited even after doing every thing possible to make the girl happy, and realise that he loves her. Also after you know that a friend of yours told her how you felt for her and she still does not think of you romantically, I think it is seriously unhealthy for that guy to still want to be with that girl.
Actually the only thing that keeps this ship sailing according to me is Naruto's attitude of never giving up, and his selfless feelings is the main reason many fell in love with NS whereas Sakura's stupid feelings is the reason many jumped this ship
Why does Kishi have to do this to Naruto's feelings? Why does a girl's feelings have to be stronger than a guy's-- no wait, the main character's feelings. It's tragic, really.
