A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have a friend and she told me recnetley that she i am her best friend. I like her in a way that is more than friends and she knows this but she has a boyfriend. Is being the best friend a bad thing if i ever want to date her in case she breaks up with him or am i too close to her now that she will feel uncomfortable dating me. I guess what i am asking is, is it possible for best friends to one day become more than friends?

if she is happy then leave her...i know how you feel i have been in exactly the same situation with a boy i was best friends with. it will be hard to get over her but your feelings will pass get yourself someone to get over her.

I don't know your case personally, but usually in these situations there is no way you'll ever get a shot with her. You're probably already set in the "I just don't feel that way about you" category in her mind.

That's probably why she is so willing to open up to you in the first place. She can let her guard down because she doesn't worry about keeping up an attractive image to you at all. And that's because you're a "safe" guy that she'll never be trying to get romantically involved with.

Danielepew agony auntBeing a friend is not a bad thing. Liking her isn't, either. But trying to approach anyone who is married, engaged, whatever, is not right. Of course I can understand your feelings for her: you don't get to love someone only if they are not in a relationship, but you need to respect what she has.

You also need to think whether you want the friendship more than you want the love.
