“I’ve had a crush on one of my guy friends since seventh grade. We’ve been friends for eight years and I can’t get myself to admit it to him. I’m scared to lose our friendship. What should I do?”
-Best friend or boyfriend?
Ah, the question of telling your feelings or hiding them. What if they don’t like you back? What if this ends up super awkward? It always gets complicated whenever they have been your friend for so long. You don’t want to ruin your friendship, but you also don’t want to hide your feelings any longer.
Honestly, the best thing to do is just go for it. Friendships are meant to be open and honest even if it is a little uncomfortable. You have already been friends for so long that it should not affect that aspect. Don’t go into the conversation expecting anything but to feel relieved that you got it off your chest. You all should be comfortable enough to always tell the truth and this time is no different. Just tell him what you’re feeling and see where it goes. It could lead to a new relationship or even just keeping your best friend of eight years.
