You've been bestfriends since elementary and now you have your own careers and still both single. You treat him/her like your sibling and thats it. Then came one day, you two were hanging out by the beach watching the majestic sunset all of a sudden he/she grabbed your hand and say "I think I'm falling inlove with you". How would you react?

Hmm, well it would depend on a number of other factors that weren't mentioned. Are we the same gender or is it a boy/girl friendship? And is it a hard fact that I possess no feelings for them at all? I dunno, these situations always confuse me, because I honestly have no idea what I'd do. I guess if I had no feelings for them in return, I would talk to them and try to explain that there was no romantic connection or something like that and they were confusing friend love with romantic love.

It's a boy/girl friendship, and you've no feelings at all. Lets say that you explained to him/her that there was no romantic connection etc., and then he/she responded with tears in his/her eyes "How do you expect me to ignore this feeling that I have for you?" and after saying that he/she ranaway...

This could work out! I mean think about this for a moment this person knows you and loves that natural you. You don't find that in the dating area. When you date a person you tend to put your best foot forward and hide the parts of you that make a person want to run in another direction. So this could be a good thing.
Yes I also see that it may mean somthing could end a great friendship. But stop looking for it too end. This thing could be great. Meant to be.

Love has a wide definition. If he/she mean that love, you should know do you love your friend too? If not, then, answer back with clear answer. If you don't want to hurt his/her feeling, say something like, 'I love you too, you're like my brother/sister' He/she should take the hint. That would save up your friendship too.

That would be a surprise to me. For all those years that we have been together as friends, now he has professed his feelings for me. I would have to think things seriously. It doesn't mean that since we are friends that feelings would be mutual. I could love him as friend but not as a lover. Sometimes, friendship is ruined when friends turn into lovers.

It depends on how I felt about the other person. It is very common for close friends to end up more, but if that's not how you feel...then be completely honest. Don't lead them on in any way and be truthful. If you handle it delicately, you won't lose the friendship!
