Hi everyone! I know some of you will relate to this. I have a close friend, he's a guy. We've been friends for a long time, and as time goes by it seems like more than just a friendship, it’s like a mutual understanding. We are really very close. His parents know me, and my parents know him too.

We promised that we will not fall for each other, just remain friends, because we believe that friendship lasts longer than a broken relationship. Now the problem, he is showing some actions that indicate he is already falling in-love with me, but he can't do it, because we had a promise. Now, because of the actions he made, I am slowly falling for him.

Sad to say, I would rather have him as a friend for a lifetime than have a relationship with him that ends in a breakup, which would end our friendship forever. Everyone knows that after a breakup, you may still be friends, but there is already a wall. Now as time goes by, my feelings for him grow stronger and stronger, so what will I do if I can't help falling in love with him anymore?

DRdozsugar agony auntWell it's nice to start with that you have a such a good friend of the opposite sex, doesn't happen too often! But, in my opinion, i believe that everything happens for a reason and the best relationships in this life begin from a friendship. If you do not do anything about your feelings about your friend, they will just continue to grow and grow and eventually you will find it unbearable to be around him anymore without struggling for conversion etc. Clearly, you have been friends some time now and know a lot about eachother, your up points and your down, so maybe there is not as much to risk with this as you thought. There is someeone for everyone in this life, and missing out on the one who could be meant for you just because you are scared of the consequences is a waste really, you could regret it for a long time to come. xx
