I fell for a friend of mine who I got really close to over a short period of time, like she made me feel something I never felt before and I cherished the time I spent with her. However, over a month I kept fighting my feelings for her as I didn't want to ruin my friendship with her, and it became unbearable as I felt she was the one for me. But, for some reason I didn't think she felt the same so I told her that I liked her and that I just wanted to remain friends, she never gave me an answer and I gave her some space for awhile, but she never ignored me, just we didn't talk the same way as we use to, and I hoped I could just move on. But now I can't seem to get over the idea that maybe I should try and tell her how I truly feel about her, as I know she got a lot of guys hitting on her and telling her they liked her, and that she got hurt in a previous relationship not too long ago. And I want a second opinion if I should write her a letter and tell her my feelings for her and risk my friendship again with her by reopening the possible hurt feelings from it, or just leave things be, even though we don't talk as much. I should also mention that I'm going away to college this year while she's still in high school and we don't see each other in person outside of school due to distance. But what do you think should I risk it or just move on?
Thanks guys for the responses, its really put things into perspective a bit more, and I realize now how much it could affect my friendship. I think I might just write the letter to start, and just go from there and decide whether or not I should give it to her.
