I had the exact same situation - acutally kinda still have. I have feelings for my best friend, and he has feelings for me, It wasn't hard for me or him to say it out loud - but, we are not together. I don't even want to be together with him, but it was still a relief for me to admit having feelings for him. We can now talk about everything- literally everything.

So - stand up - and tell him/her what you feel. It isn't a real friendship if you can't talk about everything - if things get wierd, then you should stay away for a while - it will pass, and you'll b e friends again.

Believe me, you'll feel relieved, once you have told her/him.

Good luck!

Well, I would look for signs/ hints that the other person likes me. If there are chances that he might like me, I would ask for quality time with him( not calling it a date). It actually depends a lot on the other person. If he is understanding and chilled out, I would go ahead and ask him out. Even if he doesn't like me that way, he would appreciate it. If he is not that understanding and chances are that he will start staying away from me once I asked him out and he turns it down, I would take it real slow and develop a kind of understanding first that will help me be comfortable asking him out. But if you release your feelings and tell him, trust me, it would be a relief. And there might be a chance that you enter into a great relationship with him. :)

PS - You might just be overthinking. If you don't think so, try and find out about his/her feelings towards you. Good luck. :)

Well what's more important to you the friendship or having a relationship? That's what you need to figure out. It could turn out that your friend likes you too or it could turn out that your friend doesn't feel the same and backs away from you. So think to yourself what's more important. Good luck!

Tell her/him how you feel but also mention the fact you want to keep the friendship alive. It'll be much easier for you once you get your feelings out.
