In love with a friend
Falling in love with a good friend or even your best friend can be a difficult situation for friendship. Whether or not you reveal yourself to your friend will also depend on how much you care about the friendship.
love and Friendship don't always go well together. But love can also develop from a long-term friendship - the question then is how that relationship is continued: as a friendship, as a partnership or even as a short affair?
Reveal yourself in love
- When you are in love with a good friend, the first question you will be faced with is whether or not you should reveal yourself to your friend.
- Before you decide on one or the other variant, you should be clear about the consequences that can be associated with each one. Because after a declaration of love, your good friend will probably find it difficult to continue to approach you impartially.
- If you don't have any signs that your friend has similar feelings about you, you must Expect your admission that you are in love with him to end the friendship means. Because the unspoken negotiated level of relationship has thus become obsolete.

Help - take a good friend into your confidence
- So it can't hurt if you take a good friend into your confidence and ask her - if you know your friend - whether he seems in love with you too. But you will have to live with the answer.
- If you have strong feelings towards your good friend, and it is not just a fleeting "falling in love", you should have the courage to take risks and reveal yourself to him.
- Otherwise you run the risk of giving yourself false hopes for years and thereby blocking yourself from other relationships.
Being in love with a good friend is not an easy situation. However, such a situation, in which one has no idea of the other's feelings, should not last for years.
