Honestly, you can't really do anything unless he/she is willing to get over it(without hampering the friendship). One thing you should NOT do is break up with him because of this. Instead you help him get out of this....and make him feel better. Because you two are best friends, you two share a certain level of comfort with him..and he can tell you how he really feels, so that you can help him out. Now ideally (because he "loves" you)...he should be happy if you are happy. But in reality, it hurts him to know you'd never feel the same way he feels for you. Knowing this, you need to understand him and give him the time and space that he needs to get over the feeling. One of these two things might happen in the process....either you end up falling for him or he/she will learn to move on.P.S. you know that he/she truly loves and respects you when you fall in love with someone else and he/she genuinely makes and effort not to jeopardise your relationship...otherwise its just an obsession. He deserves respect and your friendship in the former case. Hope this helped. :)
How do you tell your best friend that you are in love with them?
hmm... i've been through that situation. actually, i've been going out with my bestfriend for 6 months now. i know it feels awkward but you really have to tell it to the other person really soon before you lose your chance. let the other person feel it first. give hints through body language. just don't scare the other person away! haha.. if you guys are really bestfriends, then you would know what he/she thinks about those romantic stuff. use what you know. if she loves sunsets, bring her somewhere nice with a beautiful view. then, that's your chance to tell her. you know a lot about him/her so use it for your advantage. ^^ goodluck!!!
What happens if you fall in love with your best friend?
I would try and see if he has feelings if he does well i would date him. I know the feeling trust me...You don't want to see him with some else because is he is your best friend, you guys would definitely hang out and he would bring his'other girls' around which i am sure you won't like. So, the best bet is see if he likes you or even ask him out this is the 21st Century. But then again better said than done, it might not be as easy to ask him out so create atmospheres where it is just you and him such as just your room, even the movies, walks....If you are best friends i am sure he already sees the best side of you. Best of luck...If this doesn't work trust me there are many men out there for you and if that ruins your friendship then there are other best friends you can make too. (To your friend)
How to tell your best friend that your in love with them when you think that they dont feel the same?

I talk about my apathy a lot. It’s a giant part of my life, but it’s not absolute.Without hesitation, I would say that I do love my best friend.For whatever reason, I did bond with another person. I do care about her.Normally I would define love as giving up my time and loyalty towards someone else. It’s conscience effort to keep up. My love disappears the moment I decide to stop investing or the other decides to cut contact.All that is completely unconscious in this one case.My past sounds terrible to most people. I’m unbothered by it, no matter how many times I recall. Her past is similar and I feel something anytime she talks about it.Whenever we talk about dumb shit, I can’t help smiling. I’m not reaching for joy, it’s always a pleasure.I don’t go looking for how I can benefit from the relationship. I simply don’t care to profit.If this isn’t love, then I don’t know what is. I probably will not get any closer than this.
Do you ever tell your same gender best friend that you love them?
This is mostly relationship advice for both genders. I know I can be rather wordy, so I'll just keep it to 3 tips per gender. Girls: 1. Space is key to a good relationship. Let him have his time with his friends. That way, you can have time with your friends. Being too clingy can be very tiring, and your friends will not appreciate you neglecting them for your boyfriend. This goes for his (and your) hobbies as well. 2. Stop it with the "I'm fine (but I'm really not)" crap. It makes no sense and wastes a lot of time. Whatever happens, he'll just be more annoyed that he had to wrestle a confession out of you instead of you just telling him and getting it over with. This may seem like simple common sense, but it can be a hard habit to break. 3. Don't let your jealousy and emotions get the better of you. Before you start an argument, sit back and really think about what you're doing for a few moments. I can assure you that most of the time, you'll realize that you may have been over reacting and you'll be glad that you didn't cause a fight. Guys: 1. If your girl is crying, don't panic. All you have to do is give her a nice hug and maybe kiss her, and tell her everything will be okay. If you can't solve the problem, don't stress. Being there for her is more than enough, I promise. 2. If you want to treat your girlfriend like one of your friends, that's cool, but be a little careful. Don't point out hot girls or a nice rack or anything like that UNLESS you're both comfortable enough to do these things to each other. 3. This is related to #1. If your girlfriend comes to you a lot with her problems, this isn't necessarily a sign that she's asking you to solve them. If you think you can solve it, great. If not, just listen. If it's particularly upsetting, comfort her a little, but don't feel that you have to take charge and help her all of the time. A strong woman should be able to take care of herself, anyway.
How do you tell your best friend you love them?
This is a complicated little story. So I am a girl..and my best friend is a girl. I am NOT a lesbian. here is the story. So we have been roommates for one year now at boarding school and we are inseparable. we go everywhere with each other, and we legit cant sped an hour without one another. we are each others best friends and care about each other so much. We both like guys like i have never ever been attracted to a girl and i dont think she has either, but its weird its like she is attracted to me too? shes always playfully pushing me around and one time she like pushed me against the wall and held me there and got really close to my face like you see in the movies. its really cute, like i'll be doing homework and what not and she will just come over and give me a neck massage. we hug all the time and i really think theres something between us. she gets jealous when i hang out with my other friends that are girls at home, and so do i when she hangs out with her friends when she goes home. she questions me on all the guys i hang out with and constantly tells me not to "hook up" over the summer. we call each other everynight during the summer break. i am not attracted to other girls only her? its weird. like first i thought i might be bisexual or whatever but i am still VERY attracted to men haha. its a weird situation i have here..i dont want to risk our friendship by telling her i think i love her? even if i gave it a shot, wouldnt it be awkward if she was like, "uhh...no?" i just know it would be different... WHAT DO I DO!
If I were you, I’d just be open and direct… trying to engaging her in a heart-to-heart talk that is not tense, natural and casual yet serious….While having coffee together in her favorite cafe perhaps or having a walk together in her favorite park… Just tell your friend that you have a romantic feeling for her ( I assume it is an opposite gender). After that… you need to prepare yourself with whatever response it would be. If apparently it is reciprocated, then congratulations… If not, it must felt painful of course, but chin up… it’s not the end of the world.. and at least you have shown her your true feeling which cannot be kept for yourself forever.You need to get prepared too if after your confession and it’s not reciprocated, she might keeping distance a little bit… That’s normal… Just give her time and show her that you respect her decision and tell her that you still hope for you two to remain good friends (if that is what you really want). In this situation, you then need to neutralize your feeling towards her, I know it cannot be gone over night, but it can be adjusted… so when you two meet again, she won’t feel things are getting more awkward.It is not easy indeed to reveal such feeling… but that’s life… You either encounter a person who shares mutual feeling with you or simply having a different one… Whatever it is, both are a bless that can lead to more enriching self-development.Good luck to you and I put a big hope your best friend feels the same way you do!
“Love and Friendship”, both the words have their own importance. Love gives us pain and frienship gives us peace. Love is unconditional but it's a need. Friendship is forever but it's a Joy. Love is eternal and friendship too. But in love you think about the other person and forget youself, but in frienship you love the other person not by forgetting youself. Frienship makes you stronger and loves makes you weaker(Exception are always there). There is a very thin line between love and friendship.Both the words are very powerful. If u say , “you love him as a friend” , that means you love yourself first and then your friend.If u say , “ you have fallen in love with him”, that means you love him first by forgetting yourself. He’s more important than your life.You got to understand this, “Everything that falls, get broken”. Without a heartbreak you can't say , that you have been in love ever.Now just take time, and think. Do you love him or not.??Is he your friend??OrIs he your lover??OrIs he your soulmate??As of now. By looking at your question. I think you are puzzled in your own thoughts.Solution to this is : Get distinct from your Bestfriend. Stop texting him for few days. You would get to know the real truth of yours. Just listen to your heart. Imagine that he is not your friend anymore. You would get to know , the feeling you are going through is love or it's just a friendship.If you are clear on this, that he is just your Bestfriend! Nothing more than that. Then why are you so much concerned about him.If you think , that he is your Bestfriend than just go to him and tell everything straight forward.Why are you hesitating ??If he is your Bestfriend , he would totally understand your situation. Because friendship is more important that love. If he is your true friend, he would choose friendship over love.Don't get conscious. Be brave enough to face it. Wether it's a breakup or rejection. (In terms of frienship).P.S - Friendship and love are like worshipping a god. Needs more devotion and patience. Don't destroy it. It takes million of days to build it and a second to destroy it.All the best.
If you're in love with your best friend...?
My opinion: You should tell your best friend... I'm moving and my best friend told me that he's in love with me... I was completely shocked, but flattered. Sad part is that I couldn't return his feelings, I also regret it. I asked my mom what to do and she told me that "Its the best friends that make the best spouses in the future" You should tell your best friend even though she may not like you in return. With me I still love my best friend even though it's a different type of love. You may not see her again or maybe she'll go for someone else, maybe she'll accept your confession or maybe she'll be like me... It's a 50-50 chance. TAKE IT!!!!!! DON'T STAY QUIET!!!!!!! Stay strong... and Good luck. (I hope this was helpful to you)
