I'm in love with my best friend.

There is no better feeling than to look into his eyes, the color of the richest turquoise a teal blue that fades into a brilliant shade of green like a forest in late spring when everything is booming with its radiant natural tint. When ours eyes meet, It sends a tingling burst of adrenaline pumping throughout my body, my stomach feels as if I went off the most vertical drop on a thrilling rollercoaster and it got left behind. When he’s near it feels like there is an invisible magnetic force trying to draw us closer to each other..well at least for me I’m not really sure how he feels about me but some times I could be almost certain that he feels the same connection as I do deep inside his very core. Ever since the day I met him I had a huge “crush” on this boy even at a young age.
For me I usually get over guys fairly quickly but this one ,I have been secretly madly head-over-heals crazy in love with for 7 years. He has never known and I’m not so sure I want him to we have such a great friendship and I DO NOT want to ruin it by telling him I like him because he might not feel the same way at all.. Even though I feel that unexplainable connection between us. I really do not know whether or not to tell him how I feel and risk embarrassing my self an intolerable amount to the guy I have such strong feelings for and having my heart literally shattered like a mirror in a war zone..or risk never telling him and be one of those people that goes to their 20 year high school reunion after we both have our own separate family’s and one of us tells the other that we secretly were in love the other and then we both realize what we missed out on and wonder what our lives would have been like if one of us had grown the courage to just tell the truth someone please help me what do I do????.

Is It Normal?

  • Not only is it completely natural, but the way you write about him, I think you'd be foolish not to share how you feel with him. As Isabelle said, your writing here IS incredible... so much so it would have been apparent that you are in love with him without even saying so.

    I think you'd be a fool not to try for something more with him. Sure there is there is the risk that things will change between you two, but that risk is there no matter what. Say he meets a girlfriend who takes up all his time, or doesn't like him spending time with other girls. That is as big a risk, maybe bigger. As you get older, things change, it's a sad fact of life.

    You might as well take a chance for something that from what you wrote above sounds like it could be truly amazing! You don't have to go full disclosure right away, but don't beat around the bush too much, especially if he's kinda dense. ;)

    Good luck, I say go for it!!! Life is too short to miss out on the big possibilities!

  • I am head over heels for my best friend the same way. Your descriptions are amazing. Its really hard when she's either oblivious or seeing someone else, but there are ways. For example, once you get close enough, asking her/him out somewhere will be a breeze and honestly, you wind up going out and kissing and stuff not because its part of the deal, but because you're so passionately linked that even the strongest bonds couldn't hold you apart. I hang out with her hours every day. I look into her eyes forever, and never need to do anything else. I will and have protect(ed) her and cherish(ed) her forever. 2.5 years ago, it was a very platonic, slightly friends kind of relationship. Now it is a roller coaster ride through heaven and hell. Trust me, its amazing. The only thing is: no. sex. EVER. It is the opposite of no strings attached sex, it is a strictly emotional relationship. And I love her so much I don't mind. And I won't cheat, and she won't either. If sex was something that seemed to add to the link, it would be cool, and it is cool, i guess. But we are so close that nothing, especially a simple physical act you can hire at the local strip club, can make you closer. Good luck,

  • they say that in most male/femalel friendships, one secretly likes the other. I know it's been true with me, sometimes me liking her or her liking me. so yes, it is normal.

  • I might've had that problem..had I not let my friend know right away (this is completely off topic but I think you would make an incredible writer...very poetic)I've been through so many ups & downs with him that i'm amazed we're still best friends. I personally would suggest telling him...he may not feel the same but if you don't you will think about all the "what if's ...trust me...hopefully he feels the same way & if not then staying friends :) just go for it
