reader, anonymous, writes (27 December 2011): You said it yourself, part of you wants more. It doesn't matter how small that part is - you can tell yourself you love your friend like a sister but it isn't true deep down, is it? For that reason, I wouldn't ask her to share a room with you. Even if nothing does happen, why put yourself in temptation's way? You'd only be making it harder for yourself, knowing she's so near to you and yet so far away. If you really want her to visit you and she's willing to do so, why not find a nearby place which isn't too expensive where she can board for the night? You'd both be more comfortable that way.
If you're sure it isn't meant to be between you, don't cause yourself more emotional pain than necessary. You have to keep things as platonic as possible - and personally, I think sharing a room for the night is a little too intimate knowing you have some romantic feelings in your friend's regard. Good luck and take care :)
