Question:
There's someone who you really like, and have liked for quite some time. This person is also a very good friend and you're afraid if you say something to them, you'll lose the friendship. What do you do?
1. Let'em know...but keep the friendship. In other words..tell them how you feel, but tell them you don't wanna relationship.
2. I would talk to their next best friend and try to get the dirt by asking what the person thinks of me. Whether or not they ever mention me when I'm not around. And if so, what they say. then if I found out they liked me too, I'd tell them how I feel.
3. I'd go for it. Friends make the best lovers.
4. Spank the monkey, I say. If they're a friend you can't lose the friendship. But that doesnt mean dont spank the monkey. It's always good to get out your sexual urges.
5. Get a feel for how the other person feels about the relationship first, then evaluate which will be more advantageous, keeping the friendship, or allowing it to grow into something else.
6. I'd hint.
7. I'd go for it. You'll never know if you dont.
8. WELL! If you've been friends for a while, I'm sure you might have gotten signals at some point that'd indicate if you two could have something more or not. If you don't have that intuition and are totally clueless, I'd still say GO FOR IT. If it is a true friend, and they don't have the same feelings, they will let you down easy and you will go on being friends. If they don't and it ruins your friendship, then it is not a true friend, and who needs 'em anyways.
9. I wouldn't do it because...if we were close....it would change and alter everything about us...unless the sex was good.
10. Kiss him. That's what i did do, he figured it out.
11. Well if your good enough friends with this person ask them...the relationship of being friends should go on...i'd go on and ask
12. Well I would tell her...it's not good to live your life in doubt....I wouldn't be scared to loose the friendship...I would just say it and what happens....happens.
13. Ive just abou lived this question. A friend I really liked and what to do...Looking back I think you should take a chance that no matter what your friendship will live on. They say its best to be friends before lovers I waited and waited, cause my friend was in a relationship. When it broke off I gave her time to be alone. And missed my best chance as she fell for someone else. in time she learned of my feelings and her guy's jelousy forbid her to see me. Dont wait for the right time. I say make the time. If your good friends you'll most likely stay friends at the least. I learned my lesson.
14. You stay friends, no matter how much you like her, a friendship is always better than relationship, because in a relationship most people lose grip of the sense of closeness. Especially if it is a physical relationship, it will turn into just that, stay friends and you will be closer, you will just have to learn to deal with just being friends, but it is alot better.
15. I whould have to say something. I believe being honest is the key to a good relationship if you dont try you will never know. I think it is worth it.
16. Ok...ummm, think I would tell them anyway. If they are a good enough friend and they don't like me back, then I will just be embarassed, but not lose my friend over it.
17. I follow the feelings of my heart. i would choose friendship.
18. Right now I'm trying to figure this exact situation out. There's a guy I've been friends with for 2 years now that I have always had very strong feelings for. There have been times when we have joked about dating and even marriage, but I'm unsure of how he really feels for me. I guess I'm just waiting for more insight. But if I had the courage, I'd tell him everything.
19. You express your true feelings and hope for the best.
20. I'm not really sure. I've been in the situation far too many times to even count, but I'm so shy that I usually keep my mouth shut. But at the same time, by keeping my mouth shut, I usually lose my chance with the person, and in doing so, I break my own heart.
