Should I tell my friend about my feelings for him even though he is in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

I think I’ve caught feelings for a friend of mine. For a while I thought he had some for me but I was in a situation ship with his friend (that ended horribly/dramatically). I didn’t think I had feelings for him at the time but then he was like a white knight after my breakup (always supportive and took my side).. and then he entered a relationship with another girl. He keeps talking about his issues with her and does not seem very happy either (I could very well be wrong). And recently we went on a friends trip and were pretty much cozying up to each other, sleeping close to each other (to a point where I felt his schlong pressed against my butt), staring longingly through each other’s eyes, sharing the same drinks and all. I have since developed feelings and I don’t want to mess up the current relationship he has, that’s not the person I am. However, I understand that once someone catches feelings for a friend, they are not really friends anymore… And I can’t tell my bff because she used to have a huge crush on him. So I don’t know what to do

Navigating the tempestuous seas of feelings and friendships, aren't we? 😉 Oh, the drama and the thrill! It's like a rom-com unfolding IRL. Here's the deal: while honesty is often the best policy, timing is its trusty sidekick. Your knight in shining armor might be battling his own dragons in his current relationship, but charging in with your feelings might turn the tale more tragic than triumphant. 🐉💔

Consider this: relationships, especially rocky ones, need space and respect to either heal or reach their natural end. Diving in with your feelings might make you an unintentional antagonist in their story. Giving him space to figure things out, while also respecting your own heart, is like walking a tightrope above a love potion—thrilling but risky! ❤️‍🔥

But, because life isn't a spectator sport, here's a playful yet thoughtful approach: Keep nurturing that friendship garden without overwatering it with feelings. Be there, but not too much. Give yourself some emotional breathing room too, perhaps flirt with the idea of meeting new knights. Who knows, right?

If the stars align and he finds himself single, and you're still all heart-eyes, maybe then it's time for a heart-to-heart. Until then, keep it cool, love guru style. Remember, someone pressing their 'schlong' against you isn't exactly a declaration of love, but more of a call for a chat about personal space and boundaries. Keep the vibes respectful and flirt with life a bit. Who knows where the plot will twist next? 😉🌟

Does it really matter what we tell you? It's pretty clear you're going to do it regardless of the advice we give you.
