In love with my best friend

I'm a home kid. I do whatever I want within my parents' permissible range. I'm an honor student. I study in a great school. Everything's great. I did whatever they wanted. I never dated anyone. However, during my first year college, I fell in love with my best friend.
I couldn't tell my parents because they don't want me to have a boyfriend while I'm studying. I know they only want what's best for me.
My best friend and I have undergone a mutual understanding relationship for about four years now. Even though we're not officially dating my consciousness haunts me sometimes.
I'm happiest when I'm with him but I couldn't be with him when I'm with my parents. I can't talk about him even if I want to. He's such a great guy. He's good with academics and he really loves me. We've been through a lot as well. He's been there for me for the best and worst times.
I'm sad whenever I'm forced to choose because I love them both. I want to make it official and legal. Have you experience something like this? Or do you have a story similar with mine? Anything that can help? I want to have a clearer mind and a better heart.

That's easy for you to say, but my parents are really conservative. *sigh* But I see your point. I'm an adult now so I'll guess we'll do something about it...slowly.

If you're an adult, you are being faced with one of the worlds great leaps of faith. If the only thing your worried about is disappointing your parents than you know truthfully that your intent is pure and that it has been. Parents want what's best for you but they won't ever take your opinion into account if you don't voice it. Speak up, best of luck!

You're right. I don't want to disappoint them. I'll try to voice my opinion now and then. For me, it's a very big deal to enter a relationship, so I know it's a bigger deal to them.

Yup, I'm in my last semester so hopefully things will go smoother when I try to introduce him, but I won't marry him yet. We have many plans to fulfill first like getting the right career.

Funny.....
You said, you are a honor student but you are so baby in thinking....
You are old but baby in E.Q.
I remember my son....he told me that wisdom is different from intelligent.
Just think....pray and you be ok.

As I said earlier, I'm going to do things slowly. A baby thinker is different from a respectful daughter.

Honestly, I was in the same position, and didn't jump to the punch. Now my Best friends dating a jerk, and i'm not with her lol. Just don't let the time slip you away. And try to think of whats important, most of these other posts are right regardless.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's been in this position. I don't want to lose my best friend. Thank you for reminding me of time. It's definitely an issue here. I'll try to do what pleases everybody and without losing anybody.
