Sometimes it's good to take the risk, life gets more interesting when you go for what you want. But what if he/she wont feel the same way? What is your options. Will you still continue being a best friend? Or you will not be a best friend anymore and can get on meeting someone else? Have a nice day to all of you!

It is always best to be true to yourself. By that it means not passing the moment for you to finally have the guts to tell your best friend how you really feel. Otherwise, there will always be this "what if" thoughts that will always haunt you.
I would rather him knowing it than be burried with these secret emotions with me.
Keep on starting nice discussions. It's great!

For me as long I said what I feel to my best friend, even she just gonna treat me as a best friend, I will always still be her best friend. Nothing will change. As long as I can see her happy I am also happy for her. Have a great day! Keep on smiling! Take care!

better tell her than not. not telling only complicate matters further according to me. When you have feelings someone you must put the feelings in front of that person and then decide what to do next.

Sometimes you really can't avoid being too close to your friends that you are misled by that feeling. Yes, it could be love, infatuation or even lust but you have to control yourself if you want to keep the friendship. It is good to be honest with each other but ofcourse if you tell him/her that you are falling in love with him/her, things will definitely change. You are lucky if she/he also likes you but if she/he doesn't...you have to face the consequences of losing a bestfriend because she/he will definitely feel uncomfortable when she/he is with you,knowing that he/she hurt you by not having the same feelings for you. You have to choose...your friendship or your love. I know some people who are good friends but they got carried away by their emotions, something happened and the next thing they knew their ignoring eachother because they feel uncomfortable and are ashamed of what they did.....so their friendship is over.Goodluck! I hope you choose the right path.

For me after telling her what I feel, and she doesn't feel the same way, I'll be a real friend to her. A real friend is always honest with what he/she feels. If in time we are meant to be, God knows, let it be. We don't know anyway what will happen next. Have a nice day to you! Keep on smiling!

I am incapable of keeping my mouth shut when it comes to my feelings - if I am in love with someone, if they haven't figured it out already, then I *must* make a complete and total fool of myself and tell them. Sometimes, things turn out really well. Other times, they turn out kinda terribly. But in the end, I feel better for having been honest.

Well I don't think so there is something wrong telling your feelings to your best friend. It's just fine if that friend doesn't feel the same way. You can still be a real friend. Well if that person takes it bad something wrong with him. Have a nice day to you!

The outcome to this situation is never good. Never good for me at least. I've had many girls that were friends and I just liked them so much and thought they was so perfect for me that I ended up confessing that I liked them like that. It makes things weird for them. It's best that they see your qualities first. Most girls are conceded though and will only date a "hot" looking guy. If you don't meet their criteria, not much you can do.

Not all girls will only like a man who is good looking. The best relationship is being a best friend first knowing each other more, then just started as lovers. Maybe if it was really meant for you, it will just happens. A real friend after saying what you feel, even she doesn't feel anything for you, will always be there for you. Her happiness is your happiness too! Have a great day! Keep on smiling!

This is a catch 22 situation. Either ways you could be stumped. I think, had I been there, I would have told her. Its always better to express ourselves and get hurt than to not to do it at all. And you are not doing any CRIME!! Love is the most beautiful thing on earth!

A real friend will tell what he/she feels. I don't think so there is something wrong telling what you feel. Your right your not doing any crime. Anyway after telling her and she doesn't feel anything for me, I will still be her best friend. Her happiness is my happiness too! Have a nice day to you! Keep on smiling!

This happened to me when i was younger. I was completely and utterly head-over-hells for my best-friend. Everybody knew i liked her except for her. I went years and years admiring her trying to sum up the courage to tell her how i felt. I then got enough courage to tell her but then she had to move away, so for two years i waited for her return n next thing u know i told her i liked her from ever since and we started to date. It didn't really lasted that long but am glad i had something with her. We saw that we were completely different people so we broke it off. It was awkward in the beginning after the break up but then we still reminded very very close friends after. So it was all good :).
