I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.

I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.

Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.

I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

Right heres the deal.. i am in love with my best friend and i dont quite know how to handle it! I havent told him how i feel and i dont know if i want to. he has just split with his gf (that is what made me realise i liked him) i think i have always liked him, but just never realised it! I think he will be on the rebound so there is no way am i going to tell him how i feel, because i dont want to be his rebound girl! Everyone says that we make a great couple and i think we do too! Do you think i should tell him? and if so how long do you think i should wait? (link)
If he has only just split with his girlfriend, now is not the time to launch your feelings on him. I know that you probably want to get it all out in the open but there are two real problems here. First of all, you're absoloutely right to be concerned about the possibility of being a rebound girlfriend. This is a bigger possibility if he really liked this girl and/or was going out with her for a long time.

The other reason I say it is that you don't want him to feel pushed into anything too fast. He needs time to get over the split and other people don't want to be thinking you're a bad person because you swept in and took him so soon.

Leave him some time and some space but let him you're there. Then, when you sense he's feeling ready to move on, tell him how you feel. There's no set time scale for this but when he's ready, I think you will know. He'll smile more, he'll seem happier in general.
