Things are not so friendly after all...

ερωτας1

You have romantic feelings for your best friend! Your purely friendly attitude towards him has turned into romantic interest. Love interest, which you cannot hide, as your attraction to this person manifests itself in every way! Yes, you see your bestie romantically. What you try to "hide" with words, is revealed by your non-verbal expressions! Expressions, which seem to have a response from your friend. The issue, of course, is whether the tenderness and protectiveness he shows you is a manifestation of romantic or only friendly interest!

To find out, you can do the following:

  • Be effusive towards his "face" through touch to see how he responds.
  • Give him flirtatious hints to see if he is positively interested.
  • Cut off contact with him for a few days to see how he reacts. Through his reaction, "nuggets" of romantic interest may be revealed!
  • Talk to him openly about your feelings and claim what you so desire!

The unprecedented feelings you feel for your friend are understandable! The respect, understanding, tenderness, security and love that characterizes your friendly relationship creates attraction, changing the shape of your relationship! You see your best friend romantically.

Sometimes, of course, this emotional transition is not two-way, a fact that creates negative feelings for you! In this case, accept the fact as it is and choose if you will remain in this relationship or if you will leave it in order not to hurt and to finally find what you want! 

It doesn't make sense to hang around, waiting for this person to see you 'otherwise', putting your life on ice, but neither does it make fun of the other person that you are a real friend. 

You definitely deserve to be honest first with yourself and then with the other person... Find the courage to express yourself... and if it doesn't work at least you will know the truth!

Are you staying or moving on?

The decision is yours!
