A female United Kingdom age 22-25, anonymous writes:

so ive been friends with this guy for about 4 years now and we were kind of interested in each other at the start but i started dating his friend and since then we've both been in and out of relationships but we've become best friends.

i guess i've always had a thing for him but i'm finding it really hard to ignore it at the moment. i dont know for sure he feel the same way but i know he cares about me a lot from the stuff he says to me

i really want to be able to just go for it, its not rejection im worries about its the effect on our friendship. i literally couldnt live without him and the idea of losing him as a part of my life in any way makes me feel sick because i think he is probably the person i trust the most in the world. he's always been there for me and even though i have other friends he gets me better than anyone else. i know we'd be great together but we're both going to uni soon which pretty much guarantees it coming to an end and like i said i really can't imagine that and i'm not convinced its worth the risk of losing him

do i go for it or just be happy i have him and not risk losing him??? help please!!

aunt honesty agony auntIf you are both going to different uni's then my guess is that a relationship wouldn't work for you both if it is long distance. It is true that getting in to a relationship with a good friend can be risky and can end up a disaster.

My advice would be to continue being friends if you are planning on going away to uni.

I would say that your friendship is extremely important. If you feel smtg like this for this boy and based on how you described it, chances are he may have a spot for you too. However, if you do want to tell him how you feel, just be ready.. it could turn out awkward if he doesnt feel the same way. But if your friendship is strong enough, it'll be okay after awhile. Just give it time if that is the case.

BUT, if you guys have the same feelings, I would say go for it and try out as more than friends. But always remember that your friendship is the most important thing.
