The old falling for your best friend problem...?

Question

I'm falling hard for my best friend, we are both 20 and go to the same college.

Only problem is, I know she likes someone else, and I'm afraid to try anything because I'm afraid of ruining the friendship.

I know we would work well together, I've had people say that all the time when they see us together (my mom and sisters are convinced we are secretly dating).

So... I come to you wise people for any advice you care to give.

Answer 1

Ok, so I have this same problem. Only we have been friends about 10 more years than your age. He has a bunch of ladies running around him and he is always talkn to me about his women problems and stuff making me feel a certain kinda way.....BUT I am going to let him know the deal tomorrow. I slip in little hints about us being together and he picks up on them and then we laugh and I kinda change the subject so that he doesn't suspect anything. I think you should tell her, but also let her know that if she is not interested that it shouldn't change ur friendship status. You guys know everything about each other and they say the key to a good relationship is friendship first. Take her somewhere you guys like to hang out and let her know. The worst she can do is laugh at you......you can get over that by just laughing with her. Don't let her pass you by if you think it may work. She could be your future and nothing ever gets done by saying shoulda, coulda, woulda!!! Good luck!!!
