I have fallen for my best friend but she likes someone else. Am I right to pursue her or should I stay quiet?

I love my best friend. I think we have a very good chemistry. But as in most best friend stories, she likes someone else. My best friend absolutely loves me but is not hinting for a relationship. Not to brag but I honestly think I deserve her more than anybody else. The boy she likes is a very good friend of ours but I have never seen him showing a real interest in her. It hurts when you give your best to someone still end up on the losing side. Should I still have hope and go for her or should I just step down?

    If the girl you've fallen for is your best friend, you should tell her how you feel. There is a possibility she feels the same way but isn't speaking on it because your friends. She could also not be interested or surprised and think about it and might change her mind about dating you. You will never know if you don't be honest with her.

    He's not doing anything but he's already got her attention. On the other hand, you're always there for her but she doesn't see you as anything more than a friend. Maybe you're just not attractive enough for her standards. You can't say you deserve someone when you're not even her type.

    You may think you deserve her (you probably do) but that counts for nothing if she doesn't feel the same way! The tragedy of love is that it's so often unreciprocated.

    By all means you could tell her how you feel and hope for the best. Just be prepared that you may not get the answer you want, and if she doesn't return your feelings, that's going to affect your friendship.

    No guts No glory. If you never ask the question the answer will always be no What have you got to loose or would you rather be her friend and watch her marry some one else some day Take a chance Faint heart never won fair lady

    Like in most best friend stories, you've only realized you like her when you found out that she already likes someone else.

    You've never seen him showing a real interest in her cause you don't see the two of them when they're alone together.

    You can continue chasing her if you are sure that she's not in relationship with the other guy . But if she is already his girlfriend , you better just leave her alone . It is not good to steal someone's love , you know ? So yeah , if she's not in a relationship with the other guy yet , go on , go chase after her , tell her how you feel and all that . Win her heart .
