First thing,If you really love him/her you are ready to keep her smiling...If you can do this you should tell him/her about your feelings...And wait for her reply...

tell u what... i fell in love with my friend too who happens to be the best friend of my former partner... good thing, my partner was in love with some1 else, so the break up was painless, and we're still friends now. My friend and i got together smoothly. Its ok to fall in love with your friend, at least u know each other well. but wen its time for a break up, try to pretend falling in love with each other never happened so both of you can start as friends again. Since your friend is still hooked up with some1, dont ruin their relationship... unless you see you are worth it than that some1 else in your friend's life.

Well, it depends on you my friend. Are you planning on getting along with him as his girlfriend, or you want to love him as it is? If the first option you choose, you should explain more about him and the person he is currently in love with, so I will understand it better, and be able to think of best solution for you. In that case, thing will surely be rather difficult, as you will probably ruin someone's heart, and even break the relationship you are now having with him. If the second option, it will be far easier. You don't need to do anything, just give him the best caring and attention you can, as his best friend. If that feeling cannot be hold to be spoken, I think it will be okay to tell him that you love him, but you should state that you only want him to know and do not expect anything. My suggestion is actually the second option. It's safer for you, and you will have more time to think about your feeling. Do you really (note: extremely) want him to be your boyfriend, or you feel okay with your current relationship with him. Plus, you can hang out and find many options (men) out there, believe me! Cheers!

Well, at the moment you have to control your feelings. If he loves someone else, then don't interfere in his life and let him enjoy. Everyone gets his partner once in her life, so don't worry and never tell him about this.

not to harm any person,the same must also repect their true feelings,as long as everthing is sincere,no matter what kind of decision making, i believe it is corret.

just stay friends and see if his relationship with the other girl will work out or they will eventually break up. if they break up, then u r meant for each other, and slowly get together with him, trying to get closer than just friends. but if they dont break up, then u r not meant for one another, and move on.

are you afraid if you tell him, he won't return the feelings? or you will lose his friendship ? what role in your life do you wish him to play? Lover Friend Husband maybe he's got someone else---because he's waiting for you to fall in love with him. like that guy, Ross, from Friends.

Well, first I think this is a hard situation. I'll give you my opinion. for me, friendship is more than everything, we share everything too just like lovers do. of course, relations (as a lover) has the deeper feeling of care, and love. but there's one thing for sure, love is breakable and it's strange, unlike friends, friends will always be there by your side whenever you're up or down. if you love him very much and he's hooked up with someone else, you've gotta let it go, for his own good. IF he is your soulmate and if he is your destiny, he will be yours, just believe in your faith.. good luck
