Grab your cups of coffee, or drugs, or whatever it is you use to stay awake, this will probably be a long one.
I want to make a decision whether to tell one of my best friends I like them. Me and her have been great friends for probably just over two years now, we go to the same school, talk to each other at any possible face to face opportunity, I walk with her home, we help each other with school work, and talk to each other online a lot (we used to give each other bebo love, back when bebo was slightly fashionable, which was probably about a year and a half ago).
I think you get my dilemma, if I don't tell her, I have to repress my feelings whenever I'm near her for the rest of my school days (and possibly, the rest of my life). If I do tell her, and she rejects me, which I would expect to be honest, I get a sense of crushing disappointment, and we'll probably never be as close as we are again.
Well, it all seems so simple right? Wrong.
Ever since we became friends, my friends have begun to hang around with me and her. Every break and lunch. This would be fine, but it seems as if they are all vying for her attention. They all act the idiot in front of her, and pretty much ignore me and each other, and focus all their attention onto her. This makes me weary that at least one of them might like her. That would be a bad thing. Not a good thing. Bad.
Another thing is that whenever she's hugging someone (whether it be boy or girl), she makes a point of looking directly at me, as if she's making me jealous (once, she hugged all my friends in front of me, except for me, in what she said was to 'make me jealous').
Well that's pretty much my life for the past year in that short passage of text, well most of it anyway, you didn't hear about the drunken guy who headbutted a lamppost because it was 'sleeping with his girlfriend', but that has nothing to do with this.
Please help, I need to make a decision.
Tell her, and possibly face crushing despair for many months?
Or don't tell her, and forever wonder 'what if'?
Also, please forgive any cliches I may have used. And thanks for helping.
