I’ve got a friend who’s probably been one of the closest people to me in the world for a few years now. I know it sounds kinda dumb, but I have definitely developed feelings for him. Only, two issues present themselves:
a) I’m a man, and he mostly likes women. However, I know he has a thing for big, beefy men. I, unfortunately enough, do not meet this criteria.
b) One of our best friends has gotten into a relationship, and we both kinda hate how touchy-feely they are. I’m pretty sure we also agree that relationships among friends should be a no-no.
Should I open up to him about it, or should I just wait for this to blow over?
I’m a gay man, so my opinion may be objective. I think in my opinion is you tell him. It is better to do that than always wonder and harbor those feelings. If he runs scared and isn’t able to deal with the situation, then he isn’t really your friend in the first place. On the other hand, it may just strengthen your friendship that much more. No, its not going to be easy, but honesty is always the best and it will be such a relief to get that weight off your shoulders.
