How’s everyone’s head and heart?

How are you all doing? What’s something that’s on your mind? What is something that made you happy this week? I am reaching out my arms to lend all of you a digital hug! I am grappling with not knowing whether or not i have feelings for my best friend. I always know but i feel i don’t want to delve. I’m always thinking it would be so easy with him because I’ve known him since childhood and i feel like we are true partners in crime. I don’t think he’d ever feel the same and i don’t even want to know my heart in his regard. We were talking about bad kisses we’ve had and I jokingly said “Maybe we should make out!” and he just sat there and kept looking at me and didn’t laugh. Just looking with a sort of blank expression. I tear that apart sometimes trying to find a shred of meaning

Next time just kiss him and see what happens. Why not? If he doesn't have a girlfriend that is.

I love your post. It’s so beautiful to have that close relationship. I can totally understand where you are coming from you don’t want to loose but protect what you have.

Intimacy is not sex, but sex can be intimate. Most of the human race is driven by it's own sexual impulses and with a high level of naivete, attempt to fit a template of partnership over the energy of carnal desires. I've seen some people switch it around and develop sexual relationships with people who have been life-long friends. From experience, these seem to be the most rewarding relationships that I have witnessed. Just sayin'. Best wishes to you!

I’m late to this but I love this post. You should go for it because you never know! My best guy friend and I made a pact that if we aren’t married by a certain age, we’re going to live together and adopt kids. Sometimes I wonder if I’m falling for him too because he’s such an amazing guy but I wouldn’t act on it just cause I know we have our pact lol. You’ll figure it out! And I agree with the comment that says to kiss him next time!

Hmm maybe he was taken back and share the same feelings, but didn’t know how to express it and just stared of in disbelief and maybe perhaps waiting for you to lay it on him because he didn’t want to make that first move..the what if’s...you never know if you don’t try. But only if he is single and you as well. Otherwise no. Or just ask him if you could kiss him or if he would ever like to kiss you and put the open invite out there if you don’t want to make the first move. Then afterwards however it turns out you just let him know your still there for him as always as a best friend or partner if things go good.

Not what you're looking for?
