Dear yahoo-ers. I'm in love with my best friend....?

Dear Yahoo Answer-ers

I think I'm falling in love with my bestfriend.

We are both 19 and 20. 

We have been friend for 2years now.

We met at a work place.

We converse all the time, on the phone, by text.

I can dicuss anything with him.

Except this.

Over the past few months I've been unconsciously falling in love with him.

I get jealous when he doesn't speak to me

I get upset when we say bye on the phone

I hate it when he playfully calls me a loser when we crack jokes with each other.

I love being able to speak to him. And to have him as a friend.

It's hard to word my love for him.

I've tried wording it but it's hard to spit it out.

Recently it's just worse. I feel so depressed about it and when he doesn't speak to me.

I wanna have all his attention from time to time

Should I even tell him?

Or is what I'm feeling completely wrong?

Or is it not love?

But I do love him, it's just that... Am I falling in love with him.

I'm scared of sounding stupid.

And I'm scared I'm gonna ruin the relationship

It will definitely differentiate it when I tell him. 

It's only one sided, I know this.  

But I don't want to change what we have?

What should I do? 

Please help.

A girl in need.

Side note. I know some may think. Bestfriend in two years? Impossible.

Trust me. I feel like I known him my entire life.

    First thing you have to do...

    You either stay friends and try to stop loving him,

    Or tell him your feelings andmaybe become lovers or it could destroy the friendship.

    Ask yourself; which is more important to you?

    Maybe, to ease your pain, tell him you have strong feelings for him, but make it clear you just want him to know... and nothing has to change. If he never falls for you, it's time to stop loving him.

    It's always good to be close friends first when you start a relationship, so this could be perfect.

    But if you know he is never going to love you back, then you need to stop loving him, or it's just going to get worse.

    Good luck. :)

    I went through the same ordeal. It was to the point where I had met someone else, she ended up breaking up with her boyfriend, then hinting that she wanted me to ask her out. So I did, she said yes! I'd love to! 1 week went by, then she said she just wanted to be friends. Now we don't talk and I hope the worst for her, because she totally messed up a lot that I had going in my life at the time.

    thats really sweet. i think you should wait and try to get signs to see if he likes you back, like if he does simple things like buys you something simple like coffee, that could be a sign, or if he looks at you more than most people you talk to do. compare it with others. and look for other signs like if he hugs you ever or if he calls you just to chat. but if he calls you to talk about a problem he has, he probably doesnt like you back. i really hope this all works out for you!!

    that's the best type of dude for a chic to date..a best friend..simply because you know him real well, he knows you real well, and you know you get along. tell him how you feel and if he says he don't feel that way then it's prolly not meant to be..that's what happened to me..what i said to my gf and now we've been together for six months..our monthaverssary is november 26!! : ) wish me luck cuz we're goin really smooth so far..

  • Just a word of cation if you do date him you will not have anyone to talk about your relationship problems to. I wouldnot recoment dating him but it's your choice.

    well i think you should sit down with him and talk about where you would both like to go with your futures. include: friends, family, work, and relationships....

    let him go first, so that you dont say something that scares him form saying wat he really wants
