I figured out I'm in love with my best friend

[st8terblock]

I'll give you a little backstory. My best friend and I have been friends since we could talk. We have gotten into a lot of fights when we were younger but we always made up eventually. We always did things like man hunt or some game we made up. Some years go by (like when I'm 7th grade and she's in 8th). And well we hung out like when we were younger except it was talking usually. Then this year happened (I'm in 8th she's a freshman in highschool), where we talked when I got off my bus (because she gets out earlier). And then sometimes we talked in my house. But anyway recently I found out I love her and I know she doesn't like me, but idk if I should tell her, please help

You should tell her, if she doesn't "love" you, just be her friend.

In my personal experience friendships after confessions like this are awkward

If she's freaked out by having a best friend that loves her she won't have a best friend that loves her.


stuff can go down, son.

hm
i won't suggest my usual cure-all of pooper sticking but maybe just kind of give it a bit of time to pan out? idk try to act friendly and detect if she gets similar feelings
worst case scenario tween-teen love is not worth it at all

I don't know if you've ever watched one of my Japanese amines, but in my experience teenage males can't detect female emotions for stuff :V

but al the hentoos say to put ween in them
i have no ween
yeah i'm sorry if my advice is stuff but i honestly don't really care about stumbly teenage romance (at least my own) enough to act on it and therefore have no experience

At his age all he has to do is make a yes or no choice. Does he do it and run the risk of losing his best friend for the potential reward of a nigh-meaningless relationship that will fall apart in a year or two at most or does he not do it and remain best friends.

Of course he could have his cake and eat it by confessing, being turned down and staying best friends but that's a gamble the odds on which not even I like.

[BubbaGum]

you're not

[Tetris]

just keep hanging out with her.

you dont need a "relationship" status with her if you are happy just being really good friends

but if you want the love...

[The Black Card]

if you value the 5% percent chance of her saying yes over your friendship, go for it.

[Aplem]

It's better to stay in the deep friendzone than lose her totally.

or is it...

:c

[Tetris]

maybe just kind of joke about it

like

"my friends are always saying that we're together, haha"

see what her reaction is

[st8terblock]

"my friends are always saying that we're together

lol actually happened when we were younger

My best friend knows I really like her, and she jokes about it all the time, but has clearly stated she isn't interested in me. We're cool, so it really depends on the people.
