Should i tell my best friend i have feelings for them?

I have been a follower of that philosophy. But the last time I fell for someone deeply was again a best friend (I am pretty demisexual I guess) and them rejecting me after sort of agreeing for a relationship left me devastated. Life was rough in other respects to, so the rejection was not just the reason for me being devastated. I could not imagine them as a friend so I had quit talking as well. But here it is different. I don't want to lose the friendship.

Otherwise, yes, I feel a sort of gap in our friendship even by not telling them about my feelings since we talk about everything.

Same sex?
Both female!

Don't tell, just continue to have sleep overs with pillow fights wearing nothing but sexy nighties.

I’m in the exact same boat as you.
You want to tell them but the idea of losing them forever is too much to bare. Sometimes it’s easier not to do anything, as much as you might want to date them having a friend is better in the long run. If you’re meant to be together then eventually you will be, just go with the flow. Best of luck to you buddy.

Yes otherwise how will you know if they feel the same way,or not. See? The not knowing whether they do or not can legit drive you crazy. What do you have to lose? If they only see you as a friend, yes they might feel weird at first, but if they truly your friend they won't let that get in the way of a good friendship

I think whether, or not it's a good idea to tell your friend that you have "feelings" for them depends on different factors. First off I don't think it's a good idea to tell your best friend that you have romantic feelings for them if it appears that they do not share those feelings. I think it's imperative that you have an idea about whether, or not your best friend shares those "feelings" before you come out about your feelings.

Additionally I think you need to ask yourself how you would feel about coming out to your best friend, and hearing him, or her tell you that they don't feel the same way as you do. How do you think you would react to possibly being rejected romantically by a best friend? I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but rather I want you to be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.

If you are able to emotionally prepare yourself for the possibility of being romantically rejected by your bestfriend, and possibly even losing the friendship with grace, and humility then perhaps it would be a good idea to come out to your best friend about your feelings for him, or her especially if it appears that they might share your feelings.

I think it would be a great idea to talk to your friend, and ask some discreetly leading questions about whether, or not he, or she might be interested in someone like you.

In the end you are, of course, free to do whatever you like about this, but make sure you go in with your eyes open to all the possibilities. Good luck!

Absolutely - yes
