Is it normal to have feelings for your best friend?

11 Comments

I'm a 17 yr old girl, I live in a very religiously strict community, the kind where boys and girls are segregated in most aspects of society.

Despite that, my best friend is a guy, we've known each other for 2 years now. But our relationship is sort of different; we flirt a lot, we have pet names for each other, he even introduces me as his wife (jokingly) to people I don't know.

But recently, we did something really stupid (we took his dad's car for a joy ride and got a little drunk), and we got caught. My parents being really strict and all banned me from seeing him or even going out of the house, and took my phone away.

And now it's been 2 weeks since we've talked (we usually talk every day and call each other before we sleep) and I feel this terrible void inside, like I can't stand being away from him. Is it normal?

p.s: He has a girlfriend but they're not serious

    When you get a chance to talk to him, tell him how you feel.

    My friend, the one I have feelings for, was smelling something weird. He smelled my hair and said, "That's not it... Your hair smells fresh!" He sniffed it again, "Ahh..." Then, he went to my best friend, "You smell like nothing." Then, he finally found that the smell was his friend's lunch.

    I just wanted to tell you a story about our "random relationship".

    Yes of course its normal, sometimes when you become friends and really cared for eachother, your feelings start to change and you fall inlove.

    You're in love with him. It's that simple. Once you turn 18, leave town together.. Start a life where you can both be free to do as you want

    Totally agree with millertime- tell him how you feel and then bang.

    And tell your parents that they are being unreasonable. If they refuse to hear it, just have the guy pick you up and run out of the house and leave with him. Unless they are actually physically abusive (in which case you should report them) they can't do anything. They'll probably yell at you when you get back and you should tell them that you don't care what they think cause they don't respect you. You're old enough to get a job and/or enroll in college so they have to start giving you freedom sooner or later. Once they feel that they're losing control, they will start to listen to you.

    And tell the religious wackos in your community to eat a bowl of dicks. Not that I have a problem with religion, but you're free to believe in what you choose.

    after spending so much time with him, it's normal to actually fall for him. tell him how you feel, even though its hard. It's always best to let it out
