Help, I am in love with my bff!!
Truth be told, if you are falling in love with your friend, I don't necessarily think there is a way to stop falling in love with them unless you meet somebody else and come to terms with the fact that your friend doesn't return your feelings. If you A) can't come to terms with that or B) are unable to develop feelings for someone else because you're interested in your friend, I think unfortunately, you have to do the hard thing and then just break up the friendship until those feelings dissipate or go away.
How can I find out if someone has a crush on me?
You can tell when somebody is interested in you based on many things. Number one, body language is key. When somebody is looking at you and they're smiling a lot and making eye contact and little touches on your arm, elbow, or back while you're talking, those are tremendous signs of interest. Any physical touches that you're receiving are a sign.

Second, personal questions that show genuine interest. If they go really deep and ask personal questions that are meaningful, with full attention and everything like that, that’s a major sign.

Finally, a tip that's not as generic that a guy can use on a date, specifically that I used to always notice a lot, is that when a girl was sitting with me and was really into me, she would go to the bathroom and come back with a fresh coat of lipstick on and you could tell that she freshened up her makeup. I instinctively knew she wanted to be kissed or planned on being kissed. She wanted to make sure she looked good. So that to me is a tremendous sign.
