Hi y'all

i'm a 20's male

Basically, i've been living with my housemate and a few others in a house share for around a year now. She is without a doubt one of my closest friends, and over the last six months there has been a lot of sexual tension and we have flirted a lot, i would say - we used to text each other all the time, and get a bit emotional and touchy when drunk etcc..

During that time she's dated alot of other guys - although nothing serious - and (even though i have not been really very successful over the same period)i've never realyl thought anything of it.

But recently she started seeing someone, they are quite serious i would say, and it is killing me, to be perfectly honest! i cant even stand seeing them together, and i'm beginning to think that i do actually have serious feelings for her... and i feel like a complete loser everytime i see her now also!

i also miss her alot - pathetic

Any suggestions?? - ?

Tell her how you feel. You may not have missed the boat. It might not be too late.

If you have been close friends and flirting with each other, it's quite likely she has feelings for you. But it's difficult when you're living together and obviously she had to get on with her life and not put things on hold while waiting to see what would happen between you.

If you tell her how you feel, it will give her something to think about. If she has ever had feelings for you, she will definitely consider the prospect of being with you instead.

Be careful how you go about it. Bring it up in a conversation, gently as possible. If you make a big announcement or issue an ultimatum, she'll get a fright. Just tell her honestly that you like her and that you want to get to know her better as more than just a friend. Tell her that there is no pressure and that you care for and respect her no matter what.

You need to tell her! she may think your not intrested as you haven't made a move on her. Bite the bullet and go for it, try to kiss her or tell her how you feel.
