>Question for the ladies of Jow Forums

If a close friend of yours had feelings for you, even if you didn't reciprocate, would it be a bad move for him to address his feelings?

I'm in a situation similar to the above and at this point, though I'm probs not going to hear the answer I want, I feel like beta by not saying anything.
I'm fully ready to take this loss and still continue our friendship as per usual, but I don't know if I'm going to potentially open Pandora's box and ruin a good thing?

Thoughts?

You've got a crush on a girl who's never gonna fuck you! Let it go!

What do you mean? Telling her "I like you"?That's not a good idea even if she reciprocates. People don't talk like sitcom characters.

There we go, that's exactly what I needed to hear
Thanks

What if I just want her to not fuck someone else?

Then you are a petty, small-minded person.

So instead of looking for a girl who's actually interested in you and moving on with your life which would benefit both parties, you want her to put on a chastity belt for you so that you're both stuck being sexually frustrated?

How about a long speech on how I have never been as happy as when I am around her.
Simply talking to her for a brief moment makes it a good day.
I know she will never feel the same way about me as she is beautiful, intelligent and kind and I can only aspire to be two out of these things.

I suppose it might be a bit much if she never even considered me a romantic partner.

>How about a long speech

People don't talk like movie characters.

Don't.

I give speeches all the time (also to her).
Maybe she would cut me off, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't say what I wrote down.

I guess she will never know how I feel about her.

Oh no...she knows if you're like this about it. She wants to be nice though, because you're her friend.... and only her friend.

None of this is the OP btw. I've come to terms with how I need to move on

>I give speeches all the time (also to her).

You may talk like a movie character, but that doesn't mean that's what people expect. There's a reason you are so into a girl while she isn't into you. You have to realize that'sa not how dating works.

We work together and I am very good at keeping things professional. If anything, I might be a bit eager to help her out, but since that is my job, she might not think too much of it.

I actually wouldn't mind being friends with her.
She is like a better version of me.
If I can't be with her, I wouldn't mind being like her.

Well no movie have ever shown how dating do work. My plan was to spend time with her until I get over it or she feels the same.
It took me 7 months to get the courage to talk about personal stuff.
I have worked with her for about a year now.

>I have worked with her for about a year now

Please, don't be the creepy dude at work.

>It took me 7 months to get the courage to talk about personal stuff.

Please, don't overshare as a way to force a connection.

In a whole year you should have tried dating other people, not obsessing oer this girl.

>Please, don't be the creepy dude at work.
I am not.
>Please, don't overshare as a way to force a connection.
I didn't, she kept bringing up stuff from her personal life, and for the first 7 months, I changed the subject without asking more about it.
>In a whole year you should have tried dating other people, not obsessing oer this girl.
I have never felt this way about anyone else and I don't want to date other people.
I probably should as people might think it is weird that I never date.

>Please, don't be the creepy dude at work.
> I am not.

He says as he presses a lock of her hair to his lips.

The only thing I have ever done that was inappropriate was loosing track of what we were talking about and asked her to repeat herself.
It happened 5 times within an hour.
But who shows up at work cosplaying as Rachel Riley?

>I have never felt this way about anyone else and I don't want to date other people.

You are the creepy dude already. You aren't even dating her, you can't say stuff like that.

Do you think he has a file on his computer filled with her facebook pictures? You think he prints them out, maybe just has a wall of her pictures in his apartment?

No, he just is an overinvested dude. Which is creepy enough.

I never intended to act on any of it.
Obviously I would like to spend more time with her, but all I do is help her out at work like I am supposed to.

OP, are you living my life? If you were a femanon, I'd think you were me.

I'd say tell her. Or ask her out maybe?

Dude, you can't spend so much emotional energy like this. Go out, make friends, spend you time thinking about other people. This is not healthy. You are not Ross, obsessing over a girl is creepy.

You either accept being just friends with her and never say anything OR you confess everything and whatever happens you are happy because you gave it your best shot. It will never happen if you don't try, at least if you try and fail you know shot your shot. If she says no, you have to be respectful and willing to live your life without her if that's what's best for both of you. She's not the only girl in the world, you'll crush/love on others.

I have a lot of friends, I am not a loner.
I just don't date.
>you are not Ross
I whish. Ross was quite the lady's man and I don't have a phd yet.

Ross was a creep that obsessed over his little sister's friend for years.

You might have friends, but you don't have dating options. You need some.

He had like 10 girls over the 10 seasons.
I haven't had a girlfriend in 11 years.

Have you had options? Or is this the only girl in 11 years?

Because if she is, you need to get a dating life. And the fact that you adnire fictional characters so much hrlps me see why you talk like one.

Yeah, just tell her. Be honest and get it out on the open.
If she flips out and takes it badly, she's probably not a very good person like you think she is.
If she is a good friend, she'll understand your feelings and not ruin anything.

I don't know. I thought I was asexual.
I watch a lot of TV though.

Nonononono DON'T DO IT. When a girl likes you back, she will let you know. It's always better to let the girl make the first move. When a guy suggests something like this to me, and I don't feel about him that way, I will feel awkward when meeting him. And it will be off putting. Some girls are very insecure though. They won't make a move but if they do like you, they won't just fuck around with other guys and they will probably find excuses to hang out with you often. If she acts like she is not interested, she probably just isn't interested.

>things I wish I knew in high school

Start leaving her little "from your secret admirer" notes and flowers for a few months, you know, just to soften her up before you tell her it's you. That should make things easier.
