I'm 20 years old and I'm falling in love with my good friend. She is very nice, sweet and generous.

We've been friends for several years. I first met her at an orientation camp before we went to the USA on an exchange programme. I like talking to her because she always gives me good advice and she helped me a lot when we were in the States as her English is very good.

I don't really know what I should do right now. Should I tell her openly what I'm feeling or let her find out by herself?

Yes because if you dont you will regret it for the rest of your life. Most people find that not finding out can become a huge regret in later life.

If you are separated by a great deal of space, and there is no expectation of being near her in the close future, I think all this would do is cause you both pain. If, however, you are going to be living near her soon, then by all means tell her. It will give you both something to look forward to.

YoungAunt agony auntI think that you should think about telling her, but consider it very carefully. In matters like these some people confuse romantically involved love, with a strong friendship love. You should consider how much your friendship means first. You don't want to risk losing that. If the feelings you are feeling for her are truly love you should tell her. Hopefully she feels the same. But if she doesn't think the same way as you. Hoefully your friendship bond will still be as strong as it was before. Tell her friendship is about trust, and honesty. If you keep your feelings bottled up then the will jst get stronger. Good luck.

Being in love feels so good, especially when we get that warm fuzzy feeling inside when we think about that special person. True love is the knd of love that develops slowly and gets stronger every day. Looks like thats the kind of love youv'e got! Well first of all no matter what you do you will probably always love this girl accept that as fact. If you tell her how you feel make sure you do it with out any expectations. If she feels the same way then you will be on cloud nine. If she doesn't it may be a little akward but if you keep cool then over a few days things should go back to normal. As time goes by it would do no harm to tell her you are madly in love with her again, she will get so used to hearing it and given your cool reaction she'll probably laugh, give you a big hug and tell you that she love you too.

Tell her because she might feel the same way about you.
