writes: I met my best friend 2 years ago when I landed a new job. We talk on the phone several times a day, text, and can't go to sleep without saying goodnight to each other. We have talked about each other in romantic terms before and discussed that we find each other attractive, but it's usually written off as "you can tell your best friend anything". He has been dating the same woman for 6 years, and is still currently with her. I am completely in love with him. I have tried to end our friendship several times but it's too difficult. I can't live without his friendship, but I can't stand not knowing the way he feels about me. Should I risk the friendship and tell him how I feel? Should I move on? I don't want to devastate the other woman if he does love me. Please help!

i was in this exact same situation not too long ago. except she was married. i would go about it very carefully. i dont care what anyone on here says, no one can say yes you should tell him, or no you shouldnt tell him. you should do what is going to make you happy without regrets. i can tell you from my experience that it can turn out really really bad if you handle it the wrong way.
