writes: Dear Cupid,I have been close friends with a woman now for over a year but am scared that I am growing feelings for her. I’m 34 and she’s 32. We got to know each other through chatting on the Internet after we both had split from our long-term partners. We both helped each other through our respective break ups, and have become very close, speaking virtually every night on the telephone and seeing each other on a regular basis. However, I have realised that I have begun to develop stronger feelings for her, more than just friendship. At the moment I am torn between this dilemma: I am worried that if I confide in her how I feel, this will wreck the marvelous relationship that we have built up over the past 12 months. However, if I do not admit my feelings to her then I will never know if she has the same feelings towards me, and somehow I feel dishonest in myself that I do feel this way about her. I am extremely confused as to what the right course of action should be. At the moment she has gone to visit her family overseas for 2 weeks, so in the interim I am trying to think over in my mind what the best course of action should be.I would readily appreciate any advice you can give me,G

As a wise person once said, "It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all". Tell her!!! She might need to know that someone thinks she is wonderful,and wants to share thier life with her.!!!

reader, anonymous, writes (8 May 2005): Dear G. If you don`t say anything you will constantly be wondering, won`t you?So you could always say that you think that you are developing these feelings. If she isn`t, then perhaps she just isn`t ready for another relationship at the moment. She may just want to stay good friends but even if that is the case would that really be so bad? After all, you have been there for each other this long, and who knows what the future may hold in store for us?Take care and I hope this helps you a bit. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
