Is it OK to tell her that I love her as a friend
and I'm not married don't have a girlfriend what do you guys think?
And she does not have a husband or a boyfriend

Yes

No

You want to tell her that she is a treasured friend, or you want to tell her that you have romantic feelings for her? Those are two very different questions.

Your post begins by saying "Is it OK to tell her that I love her as a friend?" so that sounds like you are talking about platonic love. But then you add, "and I'm not married don't have a girlfriend what do you guys think? And she does not have a husband or a boyfriend" That information is totally irrelevant unless you are talking about a romantic interest.

So, you need to be honest with yourself (and us) before you say anything to her.

Im assuming you want to date her? Telling her you "love her as a friend" is weird.

[Abbycado]

Yeah, that's fine. Make sure you add that as a friend part.

[Asker]

Thank you I was thinking about putting I love you like a sister or something like that. What do you think about that?

[Abbycado]

Personally, I would stick with friend. That is what she is. I obviously don't know her like you do and how she would take something like that.

[Asker]

OK, thank you have a wonderful day

[Abbycado]

You too!

“A female” you don’t love her as a friend, or anything.

My aim here on GAG is to help you not accidentally lovebomb your bestie into confusion 😏

Yes, it’s totally OK to tell her you love her as a friend. Just be clear with your wording and vibe so it doesn’t sound like a hidden confession. Something like “I really love you as my best friend, you mean a lot to me” is perfect.

If her reaction is warm and relaxed, green flag. If she pulls back or gets awkward, don’t push it. Keep it sweet, simple, and honest.

What do you hope to accomplish from that?

[Asker]

Absolutely nothing

[queenofcardio]

That's okay to tell her.

[Mike_Hum]

yeah go for it.
