Friends in Love

Many of us were fall in love with a friend. Personally, I experience this many times before and yet in the end I decided to keep the friendship than pursuing my real feelings. How about you? Did you fight for what you feel or managed to keep the friendship and not telling him/her about it? Or did you tell him and he/she avoided you afterwards? What are your experiences about it? It is really hard to fall in love with a friend especially if you know him/her that much.

actually i'm in that very situation right now...I still don't know what to do because he's already leaving the country next month. =( yes, it's really hard to pretend that you only see someone as a friend, although in reality, you actually want to spend the rest of your life with him. There are many things that you have to consider in deciding whether to tell him or not to tell him how you feel. As for me, I always think of my values, and the result of telling him the truth. Actually, I'm afraid of what I'll feel after I tell him I love him. And I'm also afraid to see his reactions. Maybe others will think I'm a coward and I don't have the courage to at least give it a shot. But I already promised myself i'm not going to tell it to him. It also breaks my heart to be uncertain of what may have been if I just told him everything. But I already decided that whatever happens, i'll never tell what I feel for him... even if it means having him only as a friend. it's because i'm happy just by looking at him, and if we are really meant to be.. maybe destiny will create a miracle for me.

As a friend had told me a hundred of times that if that person is really a true friend then your friendship wouldn't change despite of what you feel for her.

i definitely agree with you jordan. since we have been friends for a long time, i expect him to understand me. but i also understand him. maybe he was shocked because i was very secretive about it until i told him about it. aside from that, he came from a very conservative family, though he was not that really conservative. but as of now we have already patched the things up and friends again.

Yes I had also similar incidents were I almost fell for her but in the end I decided to have it remained as that as I foresaw its better to stay that way than go deeper into a much more complicated relationship. But I guess there is nothing wrong if you decide to pursue it further beyond friendhsip. for as long as the feeling is mutual at all.
