Should I risk telling my friend I love her?

Tagged as: Friends, Gay relationships, Teenage<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (16 June 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 23 June 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've developed feelings for my straight friend, who's also a girl (S). She doesn't know this yet, but I want to tell her. I know that most teenagers go through this stage of sexuality confusion (we're both 15 in our last year of school), and it's probably just a phase. I don't want to tell her if it's going to sabatage our friendship, as I care alot about her. I've never told another girl that I have feelings for them before, and I've recently split up with my boyfriend of 6 months. Only my best friend (a mutual friend between me and S) knows about these feelings aside from me, and she has no issues about it.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can go about explaining my feelings to her?

I don't think she's the type of girl to freak out, because I've jokingly told her that I love her before (to which her response was "haha I love you too"). She's always putting her arm around my shoulder and we spend alot of time together. We also call eachother sweet names like babe, sexy, chick and gorgeous, which we don't call anybody else.

Well it's a gamble. You do risk losing her as a friend.

As you say it could just be that you have gotten very close and with all your raging hormones and with anti-men feelings from your break up you are getting carried away.

You are also sensible enough to know that this could just be a phase, and that is not really worth risking your friendship for.

My advice is not to tell her, enjoy your crush and see if it wears off.

I miss having crushes on people, so enjoy it while you can!

Good Luck!! xx
