Fallen for my best friend and she doesn't return the love. Will I lose the friendship if I let her know?

Question - (1 July 2006) 2 Answers - (Newest, 2 July 2006)
A male United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

I've fallen in love with my best friend. I've known her for just over 3 years and in that time we've become very close. We often cuddle and I tell her that love her but I don't think that she realises that I mean it. She has been the only person that I have been able to confide in and have told her everything, even things that I have kept secret from my other close friends and she has done the same.

We both promised never to keep a secret from each other, but I'm scared that in telling her how I feel I'll destroy our relationship.

I've known that I've liked her for about 1 year and known it's been more than a crush for about 7 months. I know that she cares about me a lot and has said that she was willing to die for me and I believe that she meant it; however I also think that she only meant it as us being friends.

Most of our friends think that we should see each other but whenever asked she says that I'm more like a brother to her. I'm really frustrated. I often cry about it which I don't often do otherwise and it really upsets me that I'm constantly lying to her.

I don't want to be and on many occassions I have thought about telling her but I really don't want to wreck what we've built up between us over the last 3 years.

I'm sure she doesn't like me as more than a friend and I'm really confused as what to do. If anyone has any advice I'd be really grateful as I've been completely on my own as I've found myself unable to confide in my friends. Usually I would have asked her, but this time I can't and I don't know what to do.

if you tell her the truth then you must be ready to accept her response with as little regret if it turns sour. think about that before you decide.
