writes:I have a girlfriend and we have been going out for a couple of months now. She was the one who confessed her feelings to me, and I said I felt the same but now I realise that I do love her - but as a friend. I know it will really hurt her and me if we break up, but I can't keep pretending. She's one of the best friends I've ever had, though, and we can do things together that I can't do with anyone else. Should I just tell her straight out that I want us to be best friends?

 The important thing here is to act as soon as possible. The longer a relationship carries on for the more in love she will fall. Just gently tell her that you love her so much but that your relationship can't work because you're not in love with her. Tell her you really appreciate her friendship and that you hope you can stay friends. She'll either get upset and angry and need some space from you for a while or she'll accept it but don't expect it to be smooth sailing. It's more than likely that your relationship will be awkward for a little while but things will get better so keep faith in that.
