This is irregardless if you're single or not. You are in a relationship, you're married, dating or not... I just want to know and ask your opinion here. What would you do if at some point of your life, you're falling for a friend or a bestfriend who just thought you 2 are just up to being like that while for you, it's more than just friendship. This is one of the toughest part of falling in love --- when you know that to you, you're just a friend but for you, he or she is more than that. What would you do?... Would you show your feelings or would you rather just be quiet about how you really feel and just wait for what's going to happen in the coming days or months?... Share you thoughts please... Thank you, mylotters!

falling in love for a friend is pretty normal. falling for their qualities that appeals to you is not wrong. the question is how do you respond to that feeling. i would suggest tell her what your feeling. it would never hurt to talk. its better to try than not to try at all.

Well, if the situation is very clear, that my friend cannot love me, then, I will give myself some space to moved on. It's useless to love someone who cannot love us back. I will respect my friend, and make myself busy with other things to get him out of my mind.

I think i can relate myself to this situation, Im not sure if it was falling in love for a friend or it was just falling in crush for a friend. but i liked him, he was a great friend where I can discuss anything with him because we have the same passions and hobbies. but then i cannot handle my own feeling, I thought I was so deeply in love with him. I did not have the brave to tell what i felt for him, I locked myself in my own world. I did stupid thing, I sent text message from new number and sent him gift each month but I never told him that it was me the sender of the gift. I do not have the brave to face him, i closed my FB, I changed my number and I cut every connection with him. I cannot face the truth that he declared that he is engaged, Im not sure about his engagement, but i was being coward I could not even say: hi congratulation for your engagement. I think it is time to move on, I was losing a great friend just because I could not handle my own feeling.

I would ask myself first if I am really in love. If I would be in a relationship already I would ask myself what is wrong with it. I would not tell my friend I fall in love with him/her. True friendship is more important to me as love.

fall inlove to a friend... so easy to give an advice but to do it, so hard... and especially when you are in that position right now... try this... try ignoring your feelings... like set them aside for a while.. and really treat him like a frend, or just friend with nothing but emoty feelings and all... lets see how he reacts.. if he acts like nothing happened., like the changed you made had no impact whatsoever then dont tell him.. but if the chnged had even the smallest of impact, try.. but if the impact is big then by all means say it... :D we are living in a modern world... say it! :D heheh... coz., u dont what to be one of those people who would say when they grow old that., i should have said this or that to this person... dont let it happen to you.. being late is just an excuse but its worth a thousand unshed tears and a love not shared.... :) heheheh

Falling inlove for a friend is very hard. I just wanna share my experienced about me and my bestfriend. He used to be my classmate and seatmate for the whole 4years during highschool. Because of that, we became best of friends. Until I realized that Im falling for him during college days.At first I did not tell him that Im falling for him coz I dont want him to get mad at me or feel irritable about that. Until I decided to tell him, but my reason is just to tell him because its very hard on my part. I did not ask him to love me back, i just wanna tell him how i feel. Then he told me that he knows about that coz he can feel it. But he asked me, what if we enter into a relationship then it will not work?How about our friendship? Then I realized that he's right. I do not want to lose our friendship. as time goes by, my love for him became love as my brother. Im very happy coz until now, we are best of friends.

That happened to me just recently. It happened for only days, for me I knew I was deeply in love with him. And I'm the type of person who wants to show my feelings with my special someone right away. Unfortunately, he was unsure if he too had feelings for me, because he's in a relationship. Until, we haven't seen each other because of the situation, he almost got mad at me because I was aggressive and possessive, which he didn't like. Few months have passed we had no talks, no text, I even blocked him on my Facebook. Then one day, I sent him a text, group message to be exact, I didn't expect his reply and I feel happy with his because after what happened I knew now that were ok. And even that we does not end up as bf/gf, I'm still happy because in the first place I dont want to lose our friendship, with that I'm ok. Once he told me, if its us, then its us, destiny will only tell.
