Try to set a time when you can talk to her and express what you've been feeling. Make sure she knows that it will not change anything on your end. But know, that their may be a period of time in the friendship that feels a little off after. That is okay and normal. You want to respect her space, but you also don't want to friendship to disappear. Be honest and make sure she knows that your friendship is the most important thing. Good luck to you!

There are a few paths you can take - when I was in this situation I explained to her my feelings and we worked together to figure out what path we can take to preserve our friendship. I you aren't comfortable with that you could also keep it to yourself and work on managing your feelings alone.

I know exactly how you feel. It can be very hard to be in love with someone when you know it will never work out. But you have to remember that things will always work out, no matter what! Even if she isn't the one, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Maybe you'll find someone even better!

Let off suddle hints, by calling her got telling her you love her. And if you haven't already come out to her. Also make sure not to tell her you like her, it could ruin the friendship, wait and see if she ever notices.

If she's very open about LGBTQ+, maybe you could tell her about it! If not, then I can empathize with you and I'm sure your friendship will not change. After all, who knows what may happen in the future? Have faith, and patience!

Consider telling her. If you think she won't mind and it won't harm your friendship, then maybe it is better to confess your feelings for her. It might turn into something good between you two. If you think the chances of it ruining your friendship are more, then do some more thinking. If you believe you can handle your feelings on your own and get over them, you don't have to tell her anything. If you can't, well it's up to you what you do next. Try to do what is best for you. If you cherish the friendship too much, it's probably better for you to try and keep it the way it is, if you think your friend will mind you liking her. Stay safe, stay positive and take care of yourself!

First, you should tell her about your feelings. If she's really your best friend but she doesn't like you, she will understand you, and everything will continue being the same. And maybe she likes you!

You can either leave those feelings to yourself or just tell her how you feel. If she's really your friend she'll understand and still be friends with you. So if it's really bothering you just tell her.

It's best to have a discussion with your friend about this. After all, she is your BEST friend, so anything you say to them, know that however they react will determine if you really want them in your life!

Hello, I understand what you are going through. Being in love with someone who does not love you back is difficult. May I suggest you tell her how you feel? Maybe she feels the same way about you, it's better to tell the truth, than to let it always stay on your mind.
