A male United States age 30-35, *taphey writes:

She already told other people that she never thought of me that way. I can talk to her about any and everything. We both consider each other our closest friends. This is the strongest i've EVER felt about a girl, and i think i love her. Should i tell her and possibly ruin our friendship or suck it up and deal with heartbreak? btw im 15

You've learned a very important lesson here- grab it, study it and don't make the same mistake twice.

Girls are going to put guys in 3 basic categories:

1. Don't care- he might as well not exist

2. Friend, safe, not a love interest, just a friend

3. Exciting, I could go for that.

You have successfully wedged yourself in category #2. Odds of moving to category #3 are slim, and odds of moving to #1 are about 5x higher.

When you meet a new girl you need to decide fairly quick if she's a friend or potential love interest. If the latter do NOT become her friend. You need to court her from the on set and let her know that you're interested in her romantically- this can be low key, but the fact must be visible. Do not become her best friend, at least not yet. Establish romance, then let it grow.

mmm,thats hard considering your age in to the factory the way i see it you can ask her(how see fells about you like on the real) not tell her(i love you that goes bad unless you really think it through trust me i know from lots of experience at 15-17)so thats option 1

option 2 you can wait and play your cards like a general(and wait for that moment that shes in a bad relation ship and comes to you all the time for advice and consolation)

and then again ease it to telling her but,i'll tell you boy

your only a teenager once live it to the max (do what ever you want) cause when your 35 you'll look back and say"damn i wish i could relive those years"

She has already said she doesn't consider you that way, which isn't a great sign. However, perhaps it's worth knowing where you stand with her for sure, because she might like you but she might be hiding it. It's worth a try to know where you stand for sure. Just don't expect anything of it. And don't tell her you love her, just ask her how she would feel about you as a boyfriend.
