totally! it is so irritatin u always look 4 the rite time bt neva find it... im in the same situation. heres a little sumtin 2 make u think...\n10th Grade\nAs I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. \nShe was my so-called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky \nhair.\nI wished she were mine, but she didn't \nnotice me like that. And I knew it. After class she walked up to \nme\nand asked me for the notes she had missed the day before, and I \nhanded them\nto her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I\nwanted to tell her. I wanted her to know that I don't want to be \njust friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't\nknow why. .\n11th Grade\nThe phone rang. It was her on the other end. She was in tears\nmumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over\nbecause she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat\nnext to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she\nwas mine. After 2 hours, a Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of \nchips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks," and\ngave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to\ntell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just\nfriends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why. \n12th Grade \nThe day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is\nsick," she said. He's not going to go. Well, I didn't \nhave a date and in 7thgrade we made a promise that if neither of us had\ndates we would go together\njust as "best friends," so we did. Prom night after\neverything was over I was standing at her front door step.\nI stared at her. She smiled at me and stared at me with her\ncrystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn't think of me \nlike that, and I know it.\nThen she said, "I had the best time,\nthanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her.\nI want her to know that I don't want to be just\nfriends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know \nwhy??\nGraduation Day \nday passed. A week passed. A month passed. Before I could\nblink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body\nfloated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. i\nwanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I\nknew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and\nhat, and she cried as I hugged her. Then, she lifted her head \nfrom my shoulder and said,\n"You're my best friend,\nthanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. \nI want to tell her.\nI want her to know that I don't want to be just friends.\nI love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why. .\nA Few Years Later\nNow, i sit in the pews of the church. She is getting married, now.\nI watched her say, "I do" and drive off to her new life, married\nto another man. I wanted her to be mine but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said, "You came!."\nShe said, "thanks!" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to \ntell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just \nfriends.\nI love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why. . \nFuneral\nYears passed, and I looked down at the\ncoffin of the girl who\nused to be my "best friend." At the service they read a diary, \nshe had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read:\nI stare at him wishing he were mine. But he doesn't notice me \nlike that, and I know it. I want to tell him. I want him to know that I don't want to be\njust friends. I love him, but I'm just too shy, and I don't know \nwhy. I wish he would tell me he loved me.\nI wish I did too . . . I thought to myself, and I cried.\n\nsorry i couldnt help insertin that hope it wil help wit ur decision... if u want u can email me at caraerts@yahoo.com

no as long as they agree that there is attraction, mainly physical i guess, between them.\nyou know you can make love to someone whom you dont love deep down but still you feel head over heels once you see him/ her

Well if you are friends or even know each other as passing acquaintances, you should just come out and tell them.\n\nDon't blurt it out. Just pull them a side, start a conversation which would eventually lead to you telling them that you love them for quite some time now. You might be suprised the feeling might be recriprecated.

YES.  My best friend of about 6 years once dated a girl I couldn't STAND.  (Being female myself, I thought my best friend deserved someone better than her.)  They eventually broke up, and all he could talk about for the next year and a half was how much she hurt him.  I was so tempted to tell him that I never liked her anyway, but I didn't, because I knew if I did, it would cause a rift in our friendship.  It's been awhile since they broke up, and he hasn't had anyone serious since, but I still feel better knowing that I've never said anything hurtful.

I think eventually one of the "friends" is going to develop stronger feelings if they haven't already and are just acting like they don't.  It is hard to be intimate with someone without romantic attachments....maybe not at first but in the end.

Seems like your hasn,t the same feelings for you , or he would have asked you out.Don't lose your friend over a love that never is going to happen.as i bet she didn't even know.

I have a huge crush on this guy and I have had it for a very long time, but there is no way that I could ever tell him. We are really good friends and I don't want to mess anything up.

YOUR FRIEND MIGHT FEEL A LITLE WIERDED OUT, BUT EXPLAIN TO YOUR FRIEND THAT YOU STILL WANT THE FRIENDSHIP AND YOU RESPECT THE FRIENDSHIP. YES YOU MAY LIKE THIS PERSON BUT YOUR FREINDSHIP MEANS MORE TO YOU

No. But I'm not really attracted to my best friend's wife. If she was a supreme hottie, then maybe. If she was hotter than my fiancee, the probably. But that's on the opposite side of possibility.

It's not wrong but it sure is painful! You have to go through confusion and angst just to get yourself to admit your feelings and then when you have already passed that stage you have to go tell your friend. But you know, through all that pain - you'll find more joy with that person than with those you just met and decided to go out with. It's like - the more pain you experience, the more joy you gain after the whole thing. Why? Because you know this person and this person knows you. You trust each other coz you're already friends. You've already passed the 'getting to know you' stage of a relationship and the next thing you have to do is enjoy each other!!\nThings get complicated though, and much more painful, if your friend doesn't feel the same way. Some feel betrayed when they find out their friend's in love with them. They say you betrayed their trust and that sort of thing.\nBut you know, the key thing is patience and persistence.

Well if you have to find out from someone else how she feels about you, it was never there.\n\nShe's a friend, move on

I have had sex with both a co-worker and a friend and I wish I hadn't.\nThe friend pretty much lied to me about a lot of things and for some reason, I felt special and thought I was different to him and began sleeping with him only to find out he was a dog.\nWith the co-worker, one guy I slept with, we developed a friendship first and things were good between us.\nAnother was just a big hoe and I was just sexually attracted to him. I wish I hadn't because I think he has told people.

I had a friend that was like that too. I liked her a lot, she was sweet, but she was a pest and she did not know how to let up!!! That girl! \n\nWEll, I had to nicely tell her, please don't call me all of the time and when I was in school and she started her stuff, I would ask her nicely to leave me a lone I wasn't in the mood. \n\nYou know,sometimes you do have to be a little bit gruff. That is sometimes what it takes.

I've held this secret for over 17 years.  I have never dared tell anyone, until now.  I have an immense crush on my ex-wife's 35 year old niece.  I can't stop thinking about her.  I need her so bad it literally hurts.  I would die a happy man for just one night with her.
