Am I falling in love with my best friend?

A female United States age 30-35, *aelicgurl2479 writes:

So, my best friend is a guy who lives in CA. I live in TX. I cannot stress it enough, we are EXACTLY alike in personality, and he is the only person that I can talk to about certain things.We've already talked about me having feelings for him, and we both kinda agreed to just drop it.

However, lately I've been wondering. At the risk of sounding cliche, it feels so perfect. We both trust each other more than we trust even our own family members. He's the only person who can, without fail, cheer me up. And he says the same about me. We were talking about our friendship, and I was like, "How could our friendship get any stronger than it is now? I think it's hit it's peak." His response was, "Well, maybe if we got married it would get stronger..." Well, we've also discussed our friendship and agreed that our friendship was so strong that nothing could break it. I mean, we've never even argued once! He's also planning on flying out from CA to visit me in TX next year...I mean, he's just too good to be true, and while I love the way our friendship is now, I wish it could be more.

But we've already talked to each other about "feelings" and as far as I know, he didn't and still doesn't have feelings for me. And the craziest thing of all, we both agree that this is the strongest, closest friendship either of us has experienced, and that we might as well have been twins separated at birth, also, we tend to think of what the other person is going to say before they say it, and often times end up speaking in unison or finishing the others sentence...the crazy thing about all of that, (which is all crazy in and of itself) is that I met him last April. Less than a year ago. I don't know what to think anymore...

And I don't know what to do. So, help me out here. Do you really think I could be falling in love with him, and if so, what should I do??!!

PLEASE COMMENT, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING DESPERATE, I NEED YOUR HELP!!!! SO, PLEASE COMMENT OR MESSAGE ME!!! Thanks.

You view the world through rose colored glasses. Keep your relationship as a friendship until you gain more worldly experience and can see this guy as he truly is.

Pinkbees09 agony auntWell it sounds to me he thinks of you as more of a sister thana possible girlfriend. I say leave this as friendship because the worse thing you can do is keep forcing it upon him to like you back since you can't change what people think of you. Leave it as a friendship since he doesn't like you back, then maybe later on in life you guys will go out.
