Neil and Natalie have known each other for around 6 years and know each other very well. 2 years ago, I became friends with them. Now we are very close...but I'm closer to Natalie. Almost a year ago, Neil expressed his feelings of love towards Natalie but she didn't reciprocate because at that time she saw him only as a close friend. So Neil kept coming to me and I had to help him cope with his depression. He now thinks of me as a very close friend. Throughout the past one year, things between Neil and Natalie have been a bit up and down because of the rejection. But Neil told me that in April (after we graduate from school), he would ask Natalie out again because he still loves her.The issue at hand is that over the past couple of months, I have developed very strong feelings towards Natalie. We've been very close for almost 2 years, spent loads of time alone with each other... solving each others relationship issues. We know each other in and out.. I love to spend time with her. There have been a couple of hints from her as well. I am the first person she comes to when she has something important to say, gives me long hugs, plays around, etc. Basically, I feel we would be really happy together.No one has any idea I have such feelings for her.Also, I don't know what exactly are her feelings for Neil now. So now what do I do? If I ask her out, irrespective of her response, I'll most likely lose Neil as a friend. If she says no to me, I'll be dejected of course.If Neil asks her out first and she says yes, I don't know what I'll feel but it's sure as hell not positive.Another thing is that after graduating, the 3 of us most probably end up at the same college.So should I talk to Neil? Should I hope for Natalie to reject Neil and then ask her out?Thoroughly confused. Reply to this Question
