I want to tell my friend I LOVE YOU....But I am scared

I've been in this position before...and I told him. We've been together for 17 months now and I can honestly say I'm in love. There is nothing like making the statement come true " I'm in love with my best friend". You guys already have the compatibility. Just go for it you may never know if you don't bring it up. Good Luck.

Here's my advice: Do not tell him unless you have proof that he can and will have the same exact feelings for you. A broken heart is much easier than a broken friendship(^^,)

Well invite him for dinner and just say it. Casually but heartfelt. Tell him how you feel. That you don't want it to stand in the way of your friendship but that you find that your feeling for him have expanded to fill your heart. That you love him. That he has been your best friend and there for you. Tell him all that is in your heart. Tell him everything that you put in your opening discussion. I did and my friend did 10 years ago. We will be celebrating our ninth wedding aniversay in July this year. Isn't always easy but it is always worth it.

Gather enough courage, then tell him. Your feelings will go no other way. He will learn about your feelings sooner or later, so it better come from you as early as now. Don't be scared; this is the only direction your feelings will take. So embrace it and stand up for it.. You'll never know until it's right in front of you. Good luck okay?

I agree that it's best to say it face to face. It's also harder. You have to do what works for you. But remember, if you wait and say nothing, you may never know how he feels as he may be feeling exactly the same way you are feeling and just as scared.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Why are you waiting? If you can't SAY it, write it. Put into a note just what you have said here. Here's one idea... Dear.... One of the great joys of my life is having you in it. I can't think of a day that you have been in my life that has been any better, since you have been there. God has certainly blessed me with you, and for that I am thankful. I have wanted to tell you this, but have a hard time finding the right words and chicken out, so here goes.... "I love you," it's that simple. I don't know if you love me in the same manner, that is why I feared saying something, because if you don't, I don't want to lose you as a friend because you might feel odd about it. There, I have said it. Love, (you)

well, it happened to me as well in the past but it is the other way round... i try to be there for somebody and i only treat him as my best friend... i never know that he has a feeling for me... he never says anything and we are really really close... i treat him like my brother as well... so when i get into a relationship with a guy and i tell him about this, he is really heart-broken and only then he confessed his feelings to me... i am torn... and he says that i screwed his life... well, i make a decision and stick with my boyfriend... i'm glad because he becomes my hubby now and i love him very much... i suggest that you confessed your feeling to him before it is too late and you regret it... good luck and have a nice day...

Well only you can pinpoint at what time in your friendship would be a good time to let him know that you have fallen in love with him. BUT, You certainly want to make sure that you will not ruin the friendship between the two of you. I have seen great friends turn into awesome relationships, but then again, I have seen great friendships end up in disaster when they started dating. I wouldn't want your friendship to end up any less than what it is b/c of you stating how you feel towards him. Does he give you any clues that say, that maybe he is feeling more than just like friends to you? It is hard to sate what I think you should do without knowing you or him in person, you know. For the most part, I believe that you should tell him, but then again, without knowing what type of person he is, I don't know how he would handle it, if he didn't have those same feelings back towards you. If he didn't have feelings back for you, he may try to avoid you in order not to have to face you, in fear of not wanting to hurt your feelings. Does that make sense to you? lol I know I am rambling here. =) Or, I guess you could just continue to let your friendship grow and see where it goes without you saying anything. Wouldn't that feel wonderful if he made the first move with you and told you how he felt, or kissed you to let you know how much he is into you...more than just a friend. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck. Please keep us informed. Take care, Hugs to ya, Nelly

I say go for it what have you to lose, friendship and love exist very welltogether and he probably feels the same way so tell him and see how happy the two of you can be. it should be a compliment to be loved you know, a and maybe he is just thinking the same things you are. good luck and god bless.

go for the love.i don't think it will be a problem between friendship.if you scared and not open your mouth to express your feeling,don't you think you will regret after years? come on,my friend.

I'm with DiamondPeach, been in this position and it is great to say "I'm in love with my best friend". I remember telling him that I loved him but I kept it in a friendly way. I also didn't want to ruin the friendship. It was more important to me that he was in my life than how I felt. He was the one who came out with it (so to speak). We had a long talk. He said that even if I didn't feel the same it was all right, he hoped that I wouldn't let it stand in the way of our friendship and that there was no pressure involved in his stating his feelings. I remember sitting there listening to him and wondering if I wanted to get up to dance or cry. I was bursting with happiness. We've been together for 3 yrs now. I worked for us. I wish you all the best.

I've been there before and that's quite hard. But I learned that we should tell our feelings to someone as soon as possible because life is short and we'll never know when our time is over. Who know, he might feel the same way towards you.*winks*
