Do I keep being her friend or do I tell her how I really feel?

Question - (8 December 2014) 2 Answers - (Newest, 10 December 2014)
A male United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

For the past 2 years I have been close to my female friend as she dealt with her divorce and some serious health issues. She says she has told me things she has never told anyone else and I felt we were drawing close. During this time she went on a couple dates and there was rarely a second date let alone a third date. She would tell me about the poor fools after the fact and it would be a topic for discussion.

In the last month she met a man that she likes a lot. They have gone out many times and she even invited him over to her place which is a first since her divorce. I am happy for her but I am also jealous. I told her I was jealous and she thought that was sweet.

I am trying to be a good friend but I also have feelings for her. Overall, I am happy for her but at the same time it is painful for me. She still confides in me and sometimes I hear things I don't want to hear. What do I do? Do I keep being her friend or do I tell her how I really feel?

Tell her how you feel. You're in the friend zone right now, but nothing is written in stone. You have nothing to lose since you're not happy being just her friend.
