Hello guys... I have a friend who happens to be my bestfriend. We shared laughters and tears. We helped each other to solve even our personal problems. He always listen to me and give me advices. I am also there for him when he feels so down. I even helped him resolve his problems with his girlfriend. Then suddenly, we learned to care each other but its not like before like bestfriends...it seems we've been in to a higher level of friendship... SOmetimes destiny is playful...

for how many years did you discover your feelings for him? i mean.. you didn't intend to love him as a man, right? so what's the reason why your love to him as a friend became much higher level? it's a cute story of your life.. when the two of you got a family.. i'm sure.. your children will listen to your wonderful chapter of your lives...

hello...good day! I just discover my feelings just recently. I was encouraged to join mylot because it is a website where anyone can discuss a topic...and there...I was opened and was able to burst out whats inside of me...The reason I Love? him? or maybe I just like him too much because if love...it is still a developing feelings...and if ever that feelings will developed we cant still go in to a relationship because we are both taken. I just ignore him the way he makes a move to let me fall... it is difficult...

Of course, it was difficult.. how about him.. did he have a feelings for you too? is he open to his lovelife as if he's saying that the girl of his dream became true? something like that..

hi! he told me...why am i so late to come into his life...he told me also he is open for any possibilities. He asked me if is it possible that we could have a secret gf-bf relationship since he has still a gf...but i told him, i think its better to have this friendship than hiding such a relationship and some people will get hurt.

i had also friends on your situation. the guy is my childhood best friend and the girl is my close friend. they have been into your situation. the guy, took the risk. he open up with her. told everything what he is feeling for her. during the courting stage, they came into the point to think of the friendship they have but then, the feeling is mutual, they're both single at that time. they're both happy with each other now.

hi... sometimes I asked God what's the purpose of coming my bestfriend into my life? is this a blessing? I wanted to talk to him but I am afraid of what is the outcome of doing it so...maybe we could only hurt each other or worse loose each other...I'm afraid if we could be together...there are a lot of consequences...That is why I always keep it to myself...and pretend that I dont care so bestfriends will be forever...

hello lannie! love does not choose the people they inflict it with. I mean, with your bestfriend having a girlfriend, you could not have planned to fall in love with him. But maybe the constant companionship, the closeness and his being there all the time for you contributed much to what you are feeling now. Since he is already in another relationship, it would be better if you will talk it out, to decide what to to. Hiding it would only make it worse especially since you both seem to feel the same with each other.

hi lannie, they say 'friendship' is the best foundation of two persons loving each other. so the probability, of being in love to a friend whom you are closest is high. but of course, this depends what you both really have in your relationship. is it just a plain pal or more than that? happy mylotting. :-)

hi there! your right that friendship is the best foundation of loving a person...and i agree that the possibilities are high...but i learned to weigh the situation ...i dont want anybody will get hurt...i mean, he has a girfriend and i have a boyfriend, and even he admits that he loves me as more than bestfriend...so i decided i'l just keep it to myself and let these feelings gone...and wait for the right moment...maybe God has plans for us...

how the two of you react on this situation? did you tolerate the feelings? Being in love with a friend is not a sin... unless there a problems that may arise..

Hi there... we just started to say, chohaeyo! it is a korean word which means I LIKE YOU! so it means we could hardly express our true feelings because there are people around might get hurt. I sometimes stopped for a while and gave my heart to breathe because it is so difficult for me to ignore him and ignore what i felt...that is why I learned to weigh the consequences if we allow ourselves...to open the possibility of falling in love...

Very common cases of children being adopted. I guess maybe this is the reason why my mom keeps on saying she'll never adopt a kid of her own. There also several movies like and even real life stories across the globe. But I would not argue that the genes has something to do with it but rather it's really hard if they didn't get to have the real family to take care and love them for who they are. They may be very loved my those adoptive family but they will always come to a point wherein the emptiness cannot be filled in. These wonderings if not conquered can really lead into something dangerous like what you've narrated on your post.

Your fate is coming to you right now. Tell him or give hints of how you feel. I am also in the same situation. We help each other, ok?

I would consider my best friend to be a friend for life. they would be someone I could always depend on. A lover can be a best friend. A lover could probably be the best friend you ever had. You share a past, a present and possibly a future with them.

I find it a turn on if a girl just speaks up her mind. I assume you're a girl cuz your name is lannie. Although i know a guy who has a name lannie although his name is spelled 'mark'.

In my eyes, maybe you were just normal friends before. Due to long-time contacting, sharing and experiences, the relationship between you have changed slowly to be a high level almost to be a lover relation. You should calm down and notice what his reactions to you. If both of you love each other, then love. If not, then keep best friends.

I completely understand your situation as i've been in the same place a few months back!! I was having troubles in my marriage and he was trying to help with advices but I broke up with my husband and he started being flirty (i think i was too) and later on we discussed our feelings and now we are an item.. Even if i'm not divorced yet, and that he is still married, we are completely in love and i hurt to know when he is with his wife but i have full trust in him and i know that he will leave her soon .. I think that the best relationships come from the best friendships! We know each other so well, be it flaws or qualities and i think that's what make us so strong!

It's always good to know that you have the best friend you can always lean on. You said it's like you're going to a higher level of friendship... as for me yeah good friends can be lovers, and good if it worked out until the end... what about lovers? i dont think they can be the same old friends before they became lovers.

well i think that was the magic of love. it comes to anyone even to our own best friend. maybe we never thought before that we could be in love with our best friend, but we cannot avoid love. so, when it comes to you and your bestfriend, take it and enjoy your love together, be happy ever after
