I think you should absolutely send this to your best friend. Obviously I don't know either of you.
But I swear... I end up telling 70% of people more-or-less the same solution to their relationship situation. The advice I end up giving (and it's the RIGHT advice too!) is to:
1. "put your cards on the table" (in other words, be open so that the other person knows exactly how you feel)
2. "Have an open and honest conversation where you're willing to be vulnerable, which gives the other person 'permission' to be honest and vulnerable in return.
So, if your question had been "what should I do about my best friend I've liked since the day we met?" And then I had asked you all about your situation. Armed with some details... I would tell you to do exactly what you've already decided to do. I do mean you are going to do EXACTLY what I would urge you to do in this situation.
You have good instincts!
Of course, I have no idea how they're likely to respond (knowing nothing at all about them or you). You are fully-well-aware of the emotional risk involved.
You wouldn't believe how few people actually have the guts to put their cards on the table, and have an open and honest talk. The few people who DO take that suggestion never regret it. That doesn't necessarily mean they get the response they hoped for (but quite often they have).
Lastly, I do this myself. I kinda always have. I started doing it when I was like in middle-school relationships/friendships... and it worked. So... I kept doing it... and it's something I still have as a 'personal philosophy'. It cuts through all bullshit, all confusion, all misunderstandings, and gets you answers!!
I 100% think you should send this to your best friend. You need to KNOW. (and if they feel the same way... I mean... it's stupid-grins-and-stomach-butterflies time!!! 🥰😎😁)
Go for it. Definitely YOU SHOULD!!! 🙂
I say don't send it unless you have a good feeling she won't find it weird.
In one of my friend groups in HS this happened and fortunately the crush-ee was cool with it and things eventually got less awkward between them after like a week. She was super chill tho so I don't know
The crush-er still had feelings for her after admitting, but from what I know she never wanted to/got the chance to act on it afterwards.
It is risky, but if you want to take the risk, do it.
