What would YOU do in this situation?
Quick hypothetical for everyone.
What would you do if you fell in love with your best friend, but you suspected they didn’t have the same feelings for you? (I dont care if your best friend is a guy/girl or happens to be ugly as sin, this is a hypothetical)
Would you risk everything and just put yourself out there? The result of success would be immeasurable happiness. The result of failure a crushing defeat.
Or would you keep it secret and hold onto your feelings forever?
What would YOU do?

tough question
idk i think id go for it
I would get go for it. True love is better than just friendship.
would hide it for ever. i am also not only hating the idea of ruining friendships, but also shy
you will regret it if you don’t. the worst you can hear is know, or quite simply I just don’t like you like that. You can live with that and you can still be friends, but can you live with regret? Because always wondering about what could have been would suck and you can’t change that
forever? why not just try and attract them slowly?
don’t listen, u can stay friends or not, but can u live with regrets if u haven’t tried then they find someone else and move on anyway? I couldn’t in that situation
i wouldnt wanna make the first move
id try to find out from people if he kinda likes me and flirt with him
i couldnt live with the regret or not being to know what couldve been

Well, hide it until they made a move.
What a waste! You only get one life to live. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
i would tell them that you have a thing for them.
just a small one.
even tho it might be love.
and that I could find out if they liked me or if they didnt without making things akward bewtween the whole friendship thing.
then i’d move on if it wasnt tru, because it is a bestfriend and its sad to lose one of those.
well my best friend is a guy and so am i therefor i would never love him like that. i love him as a brother.
I would go for it. As a matter of fact I went for it last month. Im a girl and my bestfriend is a girl she knows Im bi and she is to. I told her that I was in love with her and she was actually cool with it. We talked it out and really since we are bestfriends we figured out that it woulkd be way to weird to take things to a different level. So I would go for it, You never know what will happen.

If you love someone soooo much, they already know it; especially if you are good friends already. So, you might as well bring it out into the open. You might be surprised… it might not true love ignited (not yet anyway), but it doesn’t have to be that defeat you were talking about either.

I was in that boat, a long saga it was so I told her, but she is such a good friend that she told me “i want you around me for a long time” we worked it out and were still the best of friends.
you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
Above is a gem of logic!
You only have one life to live. You should live these days as if is your last.Always speak your mind even if it doesnt work out the way you want it to even if so remain friends. God bless
He told me that he loved me.
And I just said I loved him back and added “friend”.
I felt childish but I don’t want him to be a lover.
We’re still friends. And I still love him a lot.
It always good to go out and meet new people.Just be very carefull its some crazy people out here put faith in yourself be very assertive. Dont be to shy but lay low the problem you have with repeating yourself is that you are not comfortable.Take a mellow drink and relax.
I did it, and you know what? My world didnt end in a fiery explosion of embarrassment and a destroyed friendship. Nothing really changed at all! In fact, ever since then they’ve been dropping hints and have been a lot more…..I guess close would be the right word.
so yay for me! I might have a shot!
I was in the same situation before and I had fun but also regret it at the same time before we would talk all the time now we dont talk at all.Things are different when you become intamit. Its best to keep the friendship.
hide it as long as you can
and simply be happy with
knowing that he/she is
your friend
