Im in love with my best friend?

[Blonde42]

How do you approach this? im completely hook line and sinker! My gut instinct tells me he feels the same, accidental touches, eye contact, and just a slight shift in his behaviour around me to almost nervous. everyone who meets us automatically thinks we are a couple and are surprised when we say no we are just friends. Close friends have also commented on the "tension" between us both but again we both brush it off him more so than me.

I dont want to ruin our friendship if I have got it all completley wrong! i really dont know what to do!

I dont want to do anything that will ruin our friendshi

"I dont want to ruin our friendship"

Technically you already are, if you really have strong feelings for him then you are doing both of yourselves an immense disservice by not telling him, I'm a strong advocate for cutting all contact if you're in a situation were the feelings can't/won't be reciprocated

[Blonde42]

Unfortunately we also run a business together so cutting all contact is impossible.

[Koalamate]

You clearly both like eachother just confess.

Forever hold your silence or go for it, it will probably work out for a few months n fizzle out. Be prepared for breakup. Risk with all things are part of this life.

If your best friend really likes you as a friend then the friendship should not alter if you admit your feelings.

[Bellona]

if he does not like you for whatever reason then you can say well we are good friends anyway so why would we throw that away. If he likes you and you like him I don't see why you shouldn't talk to him about your feelings because we only live once and the relationship should workout if you are best friends already with other feelings.

[Blonde42]

Yes there definetley are other feelings there, we literally spend all our time together. We own a business together, we hang out just the two of us, and he's living in my spare room just now whist his new house is being built. we literally are together 24/7 and do everything together apart from well its the romantic relationship part!

I think you should trust your best friend. Basically you tell him that you are struggling with some feelings for him but that you don't want to get your hopes up. When he reacts that he feels the same way you could say: "well, I really want to give this a shot then and if it doesn't work, we can still be best friends". In the other case that it isn't mutual, you tell him that now at least you don't have to develop any further feelings for him and that you would love to stay his best friend anyways.

Best way is to just come out and say it over a romantic dinner or something like that. Life is too short.

[Iron_Man]

Start going out to romantic dinners with candles and then eventually just come out and tell him

[Guy13]

Ask him
