So I think I'm in love with my best friend, but I'm not 100% sure. I want to talk to him most of the time, be with him in some way when I get older, hug him, hold his hand, laugh with him, cry with him, etc. I don't want to be with him 24/7 though, and again, I'm not quite sure if I'm actually in love or not. But he's asked me out 2 times now and both times I've said no. Does this mean I don't really love him or am I just not ready for a relationship? I don't know, I'm just confused.

A priest once said, being in love is not focusing on the other person.. its BOTH of you focused on one direction!
you should both feel the same and have a common goal , a higher purpose..
its really good that youre best friends and you know each other and just want to get to know each other more. Figure out what your friend wants and if it is the same as yours why dont you give it a try?
You can go out with your friend and set limits like, go out and meet other friends too, or meet at a common place like a coffee shop, or set time limit like after class but not for dinner... just take it easy and set some boundaries first and see the reaction of your best friend.
it should all be alright!
Its a nice feeling, right? savor the moment!
Good luck and focus on your wonderful self in the process! [ annabanana's advice column | Ask annabanana A Question ]
