is it okay to love my guy best friend

So, we've known each other for three years, and I love being around him! He gives me so much happiness and warmth. But anytime I try to tell him, I chicken out! We've had a lot of romantic moments but both of us are to anxious to say anything. I'm terrified I'll lose the happiness I'll get around him. What do I do?

last year in my sophomore year of high school I liked this guy and never had the guts to tell him. and now that we have been friends since then I've had those feeling get stronger. I have the feeling he doesn't like me, and he cares about my safety and I don't want to lose that. And telling him will make things awkward what should I do?

A new student came to my school six weeks ago. For the first two weeks, I started to talk with him. Afterwards, we started talking more often and he started looking out for me when I get hurt in PE, asking if I'm okay and that. A few weeks ago I realised my feelings for him, and I know this isn't like my former crushes, since I'm so much closer to him than I was with my old crushes, and the main thing I like about him is his kind and caring side for him. I talk with him more than I would with most boys, and I think it's the same with him for girls. We also share a knowing look every time something wild or chaotic happens in class. I don't know what to do!

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.

What was the moment things clicked for you and you realized you were 💅? Who was it that made you feel feelings? I'm so curious to hear people's stories!
