Do you think that you could ever fall for your friends?

I've fallen for my friend (secret crush) but knew she was into someone else. I held on, but didn't know why. Overtime started to realize something's and I still talk to her now. Things wouldn't work out and for me to ruin a decent friendship with my kinky bs "love, crush" I'd rather just move on from this feelings and just accept how things are. Takes a lot of strength to put up with someone "unrequited love" and still be their friend. I guess I settled with being her tissue, and shoulder to cry on. I'll take this as a learning experience

Honestly, the only female friends I really have right now are gf's or wives of my existing male friends. I've fallen a couple times for female friends in the past, confessed, and frankly it became awkward and eventually ended up in us not talking any longer.

aww poor guys its ok dude when u learn from your mistake u become better person trust me. Just move on u got better girl. if u need friend to talk to just pm me

Yeah, falling for your friends is risky. It can ultimately end the friendship if it doesn't go well. I totally fell for one of my friends. When we broke up, for a good month or two we barely talked. Going back to just friends is rough. Even rougher still when they start dating someone else. But you never know. That friend could be the one you spend the rest of your life with. At least as long as she feels the same about you. Honestly I'd wait for a good strong hint before confessing to a friend. But you can't live your life in fear waiting. That will get you no where. You will miss out on so many chances. Sometimes it pay to be bold.

Sometimes. It is better to try than to just sit there wondering. Being rejected is always a bummer. Even a bit more so when it's by someone you've known and cared about for a while. And yeah that could make things awkward and painful for both people for a while if it turns out that they don't feel the same. But if they really aren't into you like that then you just need to move past it, find someone who is. And try to mend the friendship along the way. Having said that, you do never know until you ask so go for it. Life is fleeting and too damn short to be wasted tiptoeing around how you feel. Romantic relationships that would work even if they weren't romantic tend to be some of if not the greatest ones out there. It's worth getting the answer. And yes I have fallen for friends before. Didn't always work out but hey it has before so I say go for it.

Yeah it's definitely possible. It could be risky but you can't really help who land up falling for. What's in your control is what you do with those feelings. A lot of people tend hold them in so they don't ruin the friendship while others go for it. I've seen this scenario play out a lot around me. Some of those relationships are working out while others aren't. My best friend once told me she fell for me. We're good enough friends that we didn't let it impact our friendship.

I have fallen for my friends before. There's times where I don't take action because I don't want to ruin the friendship.
