Ugh Sara it would have been easier just to say the situation. Your interpretation of the situation isn't necessarily the true one.

Basically she's saying I should do something I'm scared to do bc it has the potential to make me happy but if it doesn't go well it also has the potential to destroy numerous friendships

destroying friendships sounds like an exaggeration. i can't imagine doing anything that would piss off my friends to that extent apart from murdering their dogs or something.

if murdering dogs will make you happy probably dont do that imo

I fell in love with my best friend, or whatever I thought was love at the time, and it nearly destroyed all my friendships, but not because my friends wanted nothing to do with me, but that I retreated so far from them to avoid the pain of that unrequited love that it's been difficult to integrate back in to that circle.

I still talk to the BF that I fell in love with, on occasion and it took a few years for that to get better.

Just don't make yourself unavailable should things end up unfavorably.

Yep, I told them that I had fallen in love with them and they didn't feel the same way. Glad I told them though, because I found out it wouldn't work between us, and even though it wasn't immediate, addressing it gave me strength to make myself available again.

I detonated my friendships because of my own biz and that just happens sometimes I guess, but all in all it worked out for better or worse.

This is a fairly common thing to happen in friendship groups i reckon. happened in mine at the end of high school. The infatuation was real and everyone know about it but didn't judge either party.

in our case, my friend just didn't like the girl that way, but they were friends first and foremost. I'm sure there were tears on her end early on, but the kicker was she found someone really kicking rad and awesome that returned her affection and they got married 2 years ago and they're all super good friends now and they asked the original dude (and me) to MC their wedding.

I have no ideas about the particular dynamics in your situation but peramene seems to think you have a shot with the other party, but honestly if the friends are actually decent people nobody will judge you poorly if things go well or go poorly for you, they'll just care if you and the other person are happy and treat the situation kindly.

then murder all their pets

Whoops, peramene was talking about rarity. I was just chiming in about my own experience with something I felt might be similar.

So whatever happens Rarity, you're not alone. I do hope things get better in the months to come.

Tl;dr Basically AA's situation. I like somebody but don't want to put myself out there and possibly ruin a friendship.

If what you'd be ruining is hanging around someone you care deeply for without ever being able to express it, the loss would probably do you good

if it's just a crush it's probably not worth rocking the boat

chances are you already have an inkling of how person feels tho

with that said I'd hope that someone you like in that way is understanding enough to not blow up a friendship if it was just awkward

I had a similar situation except I wasn't out at the time so I never admitted it and it went to garbageshit, but the frustration manifested in other ways and I ended up finding a different friend group and they're still my main friend group today soooooooooooooooooooo no raegrets

Stand down, men! It's only smooching!

Speaking of relationships my girlfriend of three years and I broke up. I am doing OK but either in pretty major denial or have been processing the breakup for the 6 months our relationship has been dying and will be totally fine. I am not sure which yet.

I am taking a lot of me time though and I want more distractions right now so play mafia! You!

Dang, getting dramatic in the SA Mafia thread. IMO, I'd always rather regret than wonder.

Ring the bell and bide the danger
Or wonder til it drives you mad
What would have happened if you had


It's an even more apt metaphor because the situation starts by getting worse but it's the catalyst for much greater things.

I can name at least four friends where I went through a phase of embarrassingly crushing on them (and not having it be returned). In every case, it made the friendship better for me to just put it out there because once I was rejected, it freed me up to look elsewhere for someone who would actually return my feelings.

For the most part, I believe that if a friendship is grounded in something genuine it will usually survive something like this if both parties are willing.

In my limited relationship experience, I found that being in that confusing situation was less fun than just being straight up and asking if the feelings were mutual. I also said right away that I was fine being friends and continuing our relationship in the way it already existed if they were not. This worked out well for me, but everybody is different. I imagine that a situation where you have feelings that you're hiding from somebody is more awkward than a situation where you you have clarified the situation. That's not to say things won't be weird at all, but if it's a friendship worth protecting, I doubt it will get that messed up.

To put another perspective on this: I have good relationships to this day with friends who previously had a crush on me, told me, and were subsequently rejected. My one negative experience in this department comes from a girl who continued to pursue me afterwards and repeatedly put pressure on me to be in a relationship I didn't want to be in. Our relationship soured completely. So don't do that.

In other news, I just celebrated my 4th year of being in a relationship last weekend, so that's swell.
