5 major Things To Consider If You’ve Fallen In Love With Your Best Friend

Love is a wonderful feeling. But when it comes to your romantic love and your BFF, it’s scary because it could possibly destroy one of the most important things in the world to you.

If you have recently discovered such feelings, try to take a deep breath. And think carefully before you proceed. Here are a few things to consider before you broach the subject with your best friend:

1. He may feel the same way.

The best possible outcome here is that your best friend feels the same way about you, and you can start your pa$$ionate happily-ever-after right away. If this is the case, congratulations and good for you!

Keep in mind, though, that if you’re just infatuated with your friend or looking for a little fun, it isn’t fair to share a bunch of feelings that will only lead to him being hurt. Make sure you’re really in love before doing anything about it.

2. He may not feel the same way.

Unfortunately, being in love with your best friend does not guarantee that he will feel the same way. There’s a good chance that you guys are friends because friendly is all he feels toward you.

3. Your relationship may never be the same.

Whether or not he returns your feelings, there is of course a chance your relationship will never go back to the way it was before. Especially if you tell him you love him, hoping he’ll return the feelings, only to find out you were wrong.

4. Consider your current circumstances.

One of the most common problems with realizing you’re in love with your best friend is timing. You’re both adults, so there’s a good chance at least one of you is in a relationship, possibly both. On your end, it’s less of a big deal, because you can break things off if you want to. On his end, you’ve got less control.

5. Consider asking a mutual friend for a favor.

If you’re having a hard time getting a read on your guy, ask a mutual friend to do some recon. This is a good way to find out about his feelings without showing your hand, a$$uming you can trust this particular friend and it feels comfortable.
