In love with my best friend

I recently broke up from a long relationship. Five years ago, during that relationship, I met a really nice girl and we are friends since then. We used to talk almost every day through the internet and she trusted me most of her secrets. We used to go out with common friends, but not that often. Because she was one of my good friends, I trusted her all my secrets and she helped me a lot after I broke up with my girlfriend.

The last couple of months we came closer, we started going out together (most of the times with our friends) and usually after going out with our friends, we spend time together alone, talking about everything that happens in our lives. So now she is my best friend. The thing is I’m pretty sure I have much more feelings for her now. I really think I’m in love with her.

When we are together we don’t act like just friends. We are holding hands, I am kissing her on the chick and I am hugging her all the time. I am telling her how much I love her (as a friend), she is telling me how much she loves me, but I am pretty sure she means “I love you as a friend”.

On one hand she is giving me signs that she wants us to be more than just best friends and on the other hands she is giving me clues that we cannot be anything more than best friends. That’s because she is constantly telling me about all the guys she likes, how other guys are trying to get close to her and all these are making me jealous. One day without me asking or saying anything she mentioned that we cannot be more than friends because we do not match.

We are having a great time when we are together; we even agreed to see each other at least twice a week even though we live in different cities.

I can’t be somewhere between her best friend and her boyfriend. Even though I knew her all these years I just recently understood how much I love her.

So what should I do? Tell her that I like her more than just a friend or continue to be her best friend and enjoy the moments? She is too valuable for me. I don’t want to lose her.

    AWWW This is just like a classic love story. to make it end like one, all i can add is: Go to her, send her a note that says "meet me at the top of _______(insert famous building of that city here)at 7 p.m. tonite" and when she is standing at the building wondering who sent that, run @ her full speed with chocolates and flowers and surprise her with a kiss <3

    but since this is reality, find her at the end of work and tell her how u feel.

    Iluvkitties I love your imagination!! Wow you really like her. I honestly think she loves you too, it sounds like shes confused as you are. Slowly, start to do little romantic things and when she looks at you or does something out of the ordinary you'll know how she feels. For me its instinct, you'll just know. Good luck :)

    Actually dude, I know what your feeling. I would say not to tell her how you feel about her because most likely, she won't think the same way about you and you might end up losing her. That has happened to me twice. On the other hand, if she is giving signs of how she feels about you the, then I would say tell her. She may love you back. (more than friend) Your call dude. Let us know how it goes if you tell her

    Don't worry! You will not lose her. She loves you. She tells about all these guys because she wanted to say that she is special, and by that way impress you, of course its not a conscious process.

    Just telling now may not work. So make her feel your love, make her feel special. yeah of course you are doing it now, but do it with more romance..

    All the best friend..
