How do I handle having a crush on my best friend? I think she’s amazing, and we do everything together. But I don’t know if she feels the same way, and I’m really scared of ruining things.

This is a tough situation to be in. The best thing to do when you have a crush on your best friend is find out if they feel the same way. Sometimes great friends really do become great lovers.

Eventually, you want to be able to directly say, "You know what, I think I'm starting to feel something for you." But it’s better to be more subtle at first to get a sense of where they're at. For example, when you're hanging out, lean in close to their ear and whisper something funny or tell them that they look great. Just feel their vibes, and see if you can start to create some heat. At some point, you'll have to ask yourself, "Is it worth ruining the friendship we have for me to take this risk?" And if the answer is yes, then you have to do it.

You can try gradually moving towards more physical interactions by subtly doing things like saying "Let's hug," or leaning in and kissing their cheeks like you're in France. See if it feels like something's happening, if that person wants to meet you where you're at. It's very subtle, and you don't have to deal go over the top.

If it seems like they're being receptive, that can be the time to say, "I'm really starting to feel like there's something more between us" or "Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like there's something more between us, and maybe we should explore it."

But first, I would just initiate light physical escalation and read the signs you receive.

yes I feel the same way because I have a best friend and I really like her a lot and I can't resit it but she knows it already I don't about me kissing her on the cheek and also she said that we can have something in future but I don't when that is what should I do since I still have a crush on her...

I lose my co workers friend i didnt quickly notice all the hug in public and in private. She is always happy to talk about anything with me even what is going on in are family.

Our boss staring noticing this and calling her if we are in relationship because they always see the happiness in her anytime she see me.

After some month she told me she want to resign and she did.

Bot together am regretting all the crush and love she have for me .

Now i am missing her so much

Hey man, I went through the same thing, and it’s rough. My advice is to just talk to her. Tell her how you feel, and be clear that you both value her as a friend and as more. You don't want to make her think the friendship was a ploy to sleep with her.

I went through this with one of my friends, and things were weird for a couple days (she didn't feel the same as me). But we had some really good, honest conversations, and afterwards I actually felt like our friendship was stronger. I wasn't hiding this thing from her anymore, and, if we could talk about this, then clearly we could talk about anything.

So just be open with her, and make sure you're okay with staying friends if she doesn't feel the same. You got this!

If you talk to your friend and she doesn't feel the same as you, a little bit of distance can work wonders to help you heal. Keep in contact with your friend, but have less contact than before.

Don't make a big deal of it. You don't want to go around telling everyone or feel angry about the rejection. It is important to remember how the friendship was before you developed this crush.

If you have to, stop looking at their social media accounts for the time being. Talk it out with them so no one is left feeling awkward, and then commit to letting it go. Allow yourself to grieve and get over it. That could happen by creating a bit of space.

It could mean taking a few weeks or a month off of seeing them, but this could be best for both of you in the long run. Focus on other activities and on yourself, get back to doing things you love, and learn how to just be a friend again to this person.

Do NOTHING unless you are ok with risking the loss of the friendship. Best advice out there. At the end of the day though, if it hurts too much to be around her BECAUSE you have feelings that go beyond friendship then perhaps the risk is worth it. If it's a no from her than you can lick your wounds, move on and heal. At the end of the day, you can't really be friends if you wouldn't be happy seeing her date someone else.

This could be hard. I think most of you people answering are guys, but my bff had a crush on me. I completely flipped when I heard it. I didn't them, after they were still so nice to me I developed feelings for him. So basically, just spit it out, but be casual, say "Hey Sam(whatever her name is), I have to tell you something" don't say it too fast, once she gives eye contact to you just come in a little closer don't say anything just slightly touch her hand, if she pulls away just focus on being a good friend for her, if she is confused just bring your lips closer to her, she would probably figure you like her if she pushes back that means she needs space. *remember move slow*. If you can tell she is uncomfortable of confused say "I like you" softly *Only say this if you are questioning that if she likes you or not. If she seems like she likes you kiss her. If she get's mad at you for kissing her, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! DO NOT crack a joke or avoid it. Or be like "Oh, i thought you were someone else" and run off. Be open, "Um...Sam I've been meaning to tell you, and I am sorry". Give her some space but show her that you are worth it. When she starts opening up to you remind her you are sorry but don't make it awkward, if you usually put your hand around her shoulder do it again, don't make it awkward.

Bro same situation with me and my crush!!! We talk loads in class, and everyone ships us and keeps asking me and my crush are dating, and if we would date each other. We both decline it and tell them that it's a friend thing, but I actually don't know if my crush likes me back. This crush compared to my past crushes is different. We do have fun convos, but it's his kindness and helpfulness towards me and the way he cares that draws him to me, since no one ever does that to me. He says that he's emotionless and that he fake smiles and fake laughs, but I still like to create happy moments with him anyways, since I like seeing him smile and laugh. Also, I texted him that if he wanted to, we could hangout during the holidays, and he replied with 'Sure I would love to' I was going all crazy inside yo, I was so excited!
Anyways, to help your case, you could subtly give hints that you like him, or you can spend more time with him one-on-one together outside of school and those weekly activities you have with him. Start to get to know him, after all, if you have a crush on someone, you'd be naturally interested to learn more about them. However, if you wanna confess, maybe you can write a love letter and slip it into his locker, it is up to you if you wanna keep it anonymous or not. Or you could just go out and tell him privately. It doesn't have to be long or sappy, but it's best to just cut straight to the point. Simple and sweet. If he rejects you, then just smile and say something like, "Ah, that's alright, I just wanted you to know. Have a nice day." It'll hurt at the start, but remember that he just doesn't deserve you. However, if he feels the same way, that's great! You two can progress with your relationship.
Hope this helps, and best of luck to you!

I don't want to like him cause he's like that, but it feels like he's treating me differently. Probably not though but I don't know what to do. Should I make a move or something?

you should go for it slowly and subtly and see if she is giving you the I want the be something more then friends vibe the best way to find out is to see how she reacts when you talk to other girls if she is jealous then you should consider making a move-be like percabeth
btw I am suggesting this from a fiction book but it seems foolproof enough

girl maybe have talk with ur parents about the types of people there. if ur parent don't approve of them because of the way they dress or their looks maybe ask them to meet them or tell that looks shouldn't define people.

It says that he thinks I’m an irresistible mystery, but 43% got that, so I’m not sure. Could you add some quizzes that are like “Does he like 2 people” or something like that, I had one but now I can’t remember it… But thanks for the quiz!

If she's really your friend and she doesn't have the same romantic feelings she wouldn't stop talking to you for something like that.

I like someone, but I am getting in trouble in class and sometimes make them nervous. So I've been trying, and I think they notice. We've been places outside of school, and she always laughs at me in a funny way. It's definitely flirting. But does she like me back? I need to know! This quiz helped somewhat, but...

If you two have a mature relationship I think that it will survive you confessing your feelings to her. I've been best friends with my best friend for over a decade now and when I confessed my feelings to her, nothing changed. We still see hang out all the time. The longer you hold onto these feelings the worse you will feel, it's better to get it off your chest. Good luck!

Yoo I've been there before and I know that having a crush on your best friend is such an awful situation! You have all these feelings eating you up inside but then you're worried about messing up the friendship if you say anything. Maybe if your best friend has another friend that knows them well you could ask them for advice or insights into how your best friend feels about you. I personally think you should go for it.

I honestly think you should just tell her up front! Or maybe tell your other friends? I tried to do that, but I’m mega shy. If you’re less shy than me, tell your friends and ask them how to handle it.

I’d first say, it’s wonderful that you are in tune with how you feel. Second, I’d ask whether you want to take the friendship to the next level. If so, I’d encourage you to tell your best friend how you feel. Yes, it’s scary and a risk but if the best friend feels the same, a deeper relationship can develop. If the best friend doesn’t feel the same, that’s ok, and you need to decide if you can handle just having a friendship or if it will be too challenging knowing your feelings.

I know this goes against what most of the other comments are saying, but I'd caution you to really think before you confess your feelings, and if you're unsure about how it'll impact your relationship, it's safer to just not tell her (unless you're willing to sacrifice your friendship and have already come to terms with the fact that things may never be the same). Because what happened to me is I confessed my feelings to my best friend because all my other friends were encouraging me to open up to her. But when I did, she got really upset and thought that I was a fake friend who was just being friendly with her to get in a relationship with her. She said that she didn't want to be friends with me and then stopped talking to me. It was devastating...So yeah, just a word of caution.

If you're also a woman and your best friend has never hinted that she's a lesbian, bisexual, or curious about experimenting with girls, try to bring the subject up in a kind of subtle way to see how she reacts. If she goes, "ew, girls!" or something like that, skip telling her how you feel. If she seems open to the idea though, it could be a sign she's into you.

I think it's really important to stay calm when you have this conversation. There are going to be a lot of very strong emotions pulsing through you, and if things don't go perfectly you may potentially say or do something you regret. Take deep breaths and keep your cool.
Anonymous Reader

If you have any hesitations whatsoever or you think there's any real chance your best friend won't say "yes," do not do this. Seriously. It is very likely to completely destroy your relationship forever if she isn't also in love with you.

If you've got a really good relationship with your friend and the two of you communicate well, consider just telling them how you're feeling. You don't even necessarily have to ask them out, you could just say, "You know, I had a crush on you and I'm trying to get over it but man, it's hard!" This could help alleviate some of the tension you're putting on yourself so that you can move on.

You might be surprised, but the odds are very high that your best friend knows you have a crush on them. It's actually pretty hard to hide something like that, especially if the two of you hang out for an extended period of time. If you want to get over it and you're really struggling, telling your best friend about what you're experiencing could be helpful.
Anonymous Reader

If your best friend is a key member of your friend group, try to find another friend group to hang out with for a while. Even if it's just temporary, getting some space from the person you're trying to get over will help you get past the way you're feeling.
