text: blah blah blah? this may sound stupid to most people. i would say stfu and get over it but. i am really in love with my best friend. no imm not lesbian. im not the kind of person to tell someone straight forward. and i really dont want to ruin our relationship if he dosent feel the same way any pointer or ideas? this is what you need to know, and do.  realize that you are not in love with him until he loves you also. it takes two to be in love. so, for now, you just love him and hope to be in love with him. you are in a good place romantically. your love for him will empower you and provide you courage.  you need to step outside of your comfort zone and simply call him or arrange a meet with him and say, "the reason i wanted to talk with you is to tell you that, slight pause,  i love you".   he may not know what to say. if he smiles and becomes lightly pleased at your words, you will know that you have just dropped the love bomb. everything changes now, for the better, no matter what.   beleive me, you cannot ruin your relationship by confessing your love. you can only make it stronger and more honest. one thing to remember though, don't make him feel as though he has to say it back to you right away. if he says that he doesn't know what to say then tell him he doesn't have to say anything at all. he will appreciate your honest and brave courage if he is worthy.  tell him that you love him and you owe it to the truth to tell him because you think he has a right to know. leave it at that and consider the seed planted. you will be amazed how great you feel after you tell him. you will become aware of the great feeling of sharing your feelings selflessly. you will discover answers to questions many may live a lifetime and never find. tell him straight forward.   if you are not the kind to tell him straight forward, then you may be the kind that lives a lifetime wondering what it feels like to share love with someone you love. you may be very close to the prize. just reach and crab it. real love will always survive and the truth is, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
