Should I admit my feelings or just stay friends?
Okay, so...
I admitted to a close friend of mine that I had a "slight crush" on her and she said she had a crush as well. (Which was a complete shock to me because she says she's straight)
Problem is, I wasn't being entirely truthful. I don't think it's just a crush, I think I might be in love with her.
I told this to her boyfriend and he was totally cool with it. He even suggested that I tell her how I really feel.
I really want to tell her, even if nothing come from it because I feel like I'm being dishonest with her if I don't.
But at the same time, I'm terrified that things might get awkward between us as friends afterwards.
What do you think I should do? Should I be honest with her and tell her how I feel or just stay quiet and leave things as they are?

I'm in a somewhat similair situation. I am hetero, but I am infatuated with a good friend. I want to talk to her about it, but I would hate to destroy the close friendship we have built in such a short period of time. She has never said, "Hey, I have a crush on you", but if she did, I would be more inclined to let her know my true feelings & just explain that I am confused, and just need to know if something is there. She confuses me sometimes...because she is so touchy-feely. She practically jumps on me when we are alone at times, but then she will say things like, "I love you so much...but not in a 'gay way'".
Maybe you both should talk about what you mean by "crush". I think you both are realizing there is some chemistry between the two of you and you admitted to each other. I really think you should talk to her about it. Just be honest and let her know that you are not really sure what your feelings are...you are somewhat confused...and need her help in figuring it out. That's what I would say anyway. Best of luck!

Sing it to her in the form of an Olivia Newton John song. I honestly love you is good.
But on the more serious side if you never say anything than i think you you will always be holding a millions what if's and thats not healthy. To be honest I'm kinda a hipocrit, i need to admit to someone to I love him. The best thing I think you can do is just tell her but make it clear this shouldn't break a friendship, that true friends can overcome all kinds of adversity. If she seems to like you back and just doesn't seem ready give her time she might have to come to grips with her own problems, on her own time.
My best advice though is to just tell her, if she likes you back than yay :-). If not give it a day or two and i think all friends ships if strong enough will heal themselves.

If you come on too strong, she might be scared off. Why not just say 'You know how we have a crush on each other? Well, did you want to see if there's anything there? Do you think we should maybe date/go steady?' Don't come out with 'I love you.' Otherwise there will be pressure, and you can't take that back. Make sure you tell her that you don't want to pressure her into a relationship, if she doesn't want to, or doesn't feel that strongly. And that you want to still be friends with her, even if she doesn't want more.

Considering she already has a boyfriend, no dont say anything more. Not now at least. I think it will be awkward if you say anything at this point. And I am saying this from personal experience. Most girls are really nice about it, straight or not, but thats when they are single. Regardless if the boyfriend approves (which is kinda strange) its better left unsaid for now. That is just my opinion. But if she were to ever ask you, be honest.

Spend six months as a couple and then decide if you still love her or not. You probably won't feel the same way. If you do, tell her then. In the meantime, keep it as a crush until you get to know her better.

U don't have informed her which you didnt opt to be acquaintances. inspite of each and every little thing, staying acquaintances with the lady u love is extra effective than no longer being together with her in any respect precise? And yet another factor. instruct to her which you 2 can paintings out. i think of she in simple terms doesnt opt to destroy the bond which you adult males have already got...

Leave it alone. Remind yourself that by telling her you are running the risk of ruining your friendship.
Her boyfriend probably only encouraged you to say something because he thinks he can have BOTH of you! Don't do him any favors.
I think you need to find another object for your affections and leave your friendships alone.

I think you should wait until if things don't work out between her and her boyfriend, because even though he seems cool with it, you may cause issues between them.

tell her. if she said that she had a crush as well, go for it. she might have been also holding back some strong feelings for you.
