Is it normal to fall in love with your best friend

I've honesty completely fell head over heals for my best guy friend. We spend every weekend together, and we cuddle all the time. I just don't know if he feels the same way or not, or if I'm just crazy. It upsets me so much that I don't have the nerve to just tell him..

    I married my best friend. 9 1/2 years after meeting her (8 1/2 years of marriage), she's still my best friend.

    Go on and tell him.

    I have learned that the amount of time you spend with someone is a SERIOUS factor in falling for them.
    I've had guy friends that i never considered dating, but then a couple weeks come where we spend every day together, and i completely fall for them
    so, my answer is yes, it is completely and 100% normal.

    i had the same case i asked out my best friend and she said no :L but we're still friends and not in that akward way but genuine friends like we were beforehand except this way you can connect more even if they dont feel the same way about you
    oh and i've liked this girl for three years ^_^ so the friendship that came afterwards wasnt a temporary one.

    I have lost count of the number of "fallen in love with best friend" posts there are on this website so you can be assured that what you are feeling is entirely normal. Sometimes people fall in love with someone they are so comfortable with becuase it seems like an "easy option"
    Im not saying this is neccessarily true in your case because I don't know anything about you. It is risky to tell him that you love him, but if you truly do then it will just nag and nag away and be a huge weight on your shoulders to live with that secret.
    If you are good enough friends, your friendship should endure both rejection and if he loves you too.
    A good friend of mine told me he loved me, and I personally didn't think of him in that way--but it had no effect on our friendship and we are still good friends today.
    So-yes. What you are feeling is normal. Whether or not you should tell him is up to you.
    Good luck :)

    Same here. We used to spend everyday together. But a new girl came into the picture recently, and I fear him falling for her.

  • Ah damn this is a hard one to figure out if its normal or not....wait I know lets ask the other 3 billion people going or went through the exact same thing if its normal or not....seriously if you dont know if this is normal or not I suggest getting out from under your rock either that or just pay more attention to the submitted stories because nearly everytime the new stories come up there are about 4 stories with this exact same story.
