Is it normal to love my best friend?

Basically, I've known my best friend for about 5 years now. I sorta liked her back in the day in high school but my friendship with her was too important to risk with emotions. Then I started liking her a year ago again but much more this time. I told her how I felt and she didn't feel the same way. I am now in my junior year of college and the feelings are coming back pretty significantly. Sometimes she is super affectionate and recently told me she is possessive of me. What does this mean? What can I do?

    Thanks imjustme.

    Yeah we'll see. I am trying the small gesture approach. Hug her, arm around her, "friend" dates, and maybe a kiss on the cheek soon!

  • Well, I certainly do seem to enjoy the company of one of my best friends...

    ^o^ He is possibly gay - very nice, though.

    I've found that most gay people are nice. You may disagree, but that's what I've found.

    It's interesting to see his reactions, though.

    They're different from other people's.

    If I run at him with a lampshade on my head and scream "EXCALIBUUUR!!!", then he just laughs and scolds me for being silly.

    Hmmmph... It appears he still doesn't know that that's just a persona. "___" Is not the real me. I suppose you could say that "Mikao" is, though.

    I suppose I'm taking advantage of him, acting friendly towards him just to study his behavior. But... It's much too fun to stop. ^o^

    Wow this has got to be tuff. Ok i have not been in a lot of relationships but since im a girl this may help. Girls are very confusing some of us string guys on, some of us are totally trustworthy, and some of us play hard to get. Sometimes we make decisions without really thinking about what we are saying. When she said she was possessive of you this can mean she really cares about your friendship, or she is starting to like you a little more. I honestly dont know what else to tell you. I really wish i could help and i wish you the best of luck.

    She may be afraid of losing your friendship with a whole relationship. So try to ease in make small gestures that show her you are feeling it more. Be you.
