Posted by Anonymous on 2024/04/08 under Love I'm moving to a new city and going to college in a few months and I've just realized that I have feelings for my best friend. Even though I'll be losing contact with almost everyone in my life once I move, not being able to see or talk to her makes me more upset than the thought of being isolated from everyone else. I've known her longer than I've known most people. She was one of the first people I told when I came out, she went with me to confront my ex when I was scared and she was worried they would hurt me. We both found each other during the lowest part of our lives. We've gotten each other through so much and now I'm leaving only to realize I really really like her and I don't know what to do. There are so so few people I feel this close to and I want to tell her but I've been thinking how to minimize the damage. If I tell her soon and she doesn't feel the same I lose the possibility of the rest of our current friendship; If I wait and tell her before I leave I lose the possibility of what could have been if she liked me. Please, I want to tell her but I'm so scared –she really is so important to me– and I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do.
