Question ok, i'm 17, i am a guy, and my best friend is a girl.
We have been best friends since 8th grade and we're seniors in highschool now. I have had feelings for her basically since i've met her. She has has a boyfriend right now that she is really into. Also, her boyfriend is one of my really good friends. so that creates more of a problem. i dont know what to do because i can't help but think of her as more than just a best friend. Along with her boyfriend though, she doesn't think of me as more than just a brother. I've been wanting to tell her for the longest time. Im just extremely afraid of what might happen. I want to tell her before we go off to college next year for sure though. what do i do? do i tell her? Will that risk our friendship?
Answer Hey Jordan. This is a really tricky situation. If you tell her you could scare her off and ruin her friendship. However, if you don't you will always regret it. I am going to suggest not telling her until before you leave. It will give her some time to think about it away from you. Tell her that you don't want to ruin your friendship and that you respect her and didn't want to mess up her relationship with her boyfriend... but you just needed to tell her. I am sure if she is a good friend she will respect you coming out and saying something. It may be awkward at first but that is nothing compared to what you will always feel if you never tell her. Good luck!
