Love help: Im falling for a girl, whos is considered to be my best friend. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

Im falling for a girl, whos is considered to be my best friend.

Weve both expressed this toward each other. And I really have deep feelings for her. But when the conversation comes to, she never wants to really tell me how she feels and says if we get physical it will screw things up? Does she really have feelings for me..or is she just using me for all the good things I can provide.

Personal experience leads my thoughts towards, “or is she just using me for all the good things I can provide. ” …. but I’ve been wrong before.

We REALLY dont have enough information here about how shes been acting to make that call. You know best of all of us and I dont mean to descredit the people posting me but how on earth can they make the call? We dont know what signs shes been displaying, all we know is she avoids the topics. Maybe if you give us a little more info we can tell you something.

True Snar, but as I mentioned, I’m basing my statement from personal experience then quoting the post.

Well, when id call her to come to my place she would. She wants to me to visit her all the time, i do. She asks me if I would ever hurt her, and to express my feelings to her.She just is always giving me this little hints that she does, but will never actually say or express that she does. She recently came down for my birthday, took work off and all. She had to drive 2 hours the next morning to work, then drove right back. Isnt that mean something?

I hope I’m wrong in your case, but I’m the ultimate pessimist in cases like this

Well she obviously cares about you. Why dont you ask her her feelings directly, maybe even put your own out there? Have you done this?

On the flip side of the coin, there are a lot of women that have a hard time (if they even know how) showing emotions.

Well, i guess I should mention she was with a guy for 6 years through high school and got screwed over by him. Its been two years…do you think this is a reason why? Or again she doesnt want to tell me the TRUTH ..and lose the friendship? Im just totally confused

Could be she really got nailed hard by this guy and is afraid to let anyone get that close ever again.

My current girlfriend is a really loving individual, but she has a hard time expressing herself. I know she loves me, she just has a hard time showing it. Very similar reactions to those you’ve described.

Well mnwildfan, sounds like you need to be direct and up front and to the point. TEll her you really want to know and it seems like shes being indirect with you adn that youd kind of like a definitive answer.

Rule 1: Women + men = perpetual state of confusion
Rule 2: When in doubt, see rule #1.

Your mom gave you good advice… If it happens, it happens. If not, don’t loose any sleep over it. or the, “whatever” attitude..

I think there is a point where you need to let her know, she needs to be clear with you or…you two will have to remain friends, and if she says sure…then…well thats what you gotta do.

Im saying, you tell her that if things are ever gunna go past friendship, wether she wants it or not… she has to directly telly ou what shes feeling and if she cant do that then your making the decision for both of you that it cant happen.

Even if shed call you that, we both know its not true… you cant have a relationship with someone if they arent gonna be open about their feelings.

Yeah, I guess. Its just a very weird relationship. Every couple that is together wants to be like us, and are jealous the way we look and talk to eachother. And maybe its me trying to hard, and I am pushing her.

IF everyone in the world thought you two looked great together, it wouldnt matter unless you felt right about it.

Hi, I was in the same situation with my best girlfriend. I pushed she pulled, it has always led to the same thing between her and I, we start to spend alot of time together and the one of us backs off, Or at least this is what i thought, untill i realized that the time that she would spend at my house was just after my pay day and when the extra cash was gone so was she, dont think im jaded (maybe I am) but in your case it sounds like with her driving to see you that she has some feelings, Take this risk , I think whatever you have to do to show her how you feel, do it.Before its to late and your in friend zone forever
