Am I in Love with My Best Friend

If you are in love with your best friend and if you express your feelings to him, there are two outcomes that you will most likely face. First is that he will say that he feels the same (I know this is what you want to hear) and the second is that he might tell you that he does not have the same feelings for you. If by any chance latter comes true, there is a possibility that you might lose the friendship that you share with him. Are you prepared to take this kind of risk?

The ideal relationship advice to deal with such a situation will be to give yourself some time to ponder over the whole situation before making any move. Take your time in knowing whether your feelings are really genuine or is it just an infatuation. If you are confused and thinking whether you are in love with your best friend, then here are some signs of being in love which will help you to figure out your feelings.

Signs of Love

The first thing that you need to find out is whether it is just a physical attraction that you have developed for your friend or is it something deeper? If you genuinely care for your best friend's well-being, you go out of the way to make him/her happy and if you feel that you would do anything to see a smile on their face, then most likely you are in love.

When you are in love with someone, the other person is always on your mind. Thinking about the moments you two spend together invariably brings a smile to your face. You remember each and every of his likes, dislikes, whims, etc. When you go out, you make plans keeping the other person's interests in mind. If you feel you are doing the same, it is one of the signs that you are falling for your best friend.

It is often seen that people who are in love want to look their best, especially when they meet the person they are falling for. Have you recently felt a change in the way you dress? Do you spend hours in front of the mirror or a beauty parlor to look beautiful and well-groomed? If you do, you could be on the threshold of falling in love.

When we are in love with somebody, we trust that person completely. In our heart we know that no matter what, this person will not break our trust at any point of time. Do you trust your best friend? Is he the first person that you go to whenever you receive a good news to share your joy? Or even your sorrows? If the answers to all these questions are in the affirmation, it means you trust your best friend more than anybody.

If after comparing your feelings with these signs, you are still confused and wondering, if you are in love, then here is a quiz to help you clear your thoughts.

Quiz

• Do you feel comfortable in your best friend's company? Do you feel you can share anything under the sun with him?
• Do you especially dress up just to appear physically attractive to your best friend?
• Have you lately become slightly jealous and possessive about him/her?
• Is your best friend on your mind all the time?
• Do you listen and pay attention to each and everything he/she says?
• Do you trust him/her?
• Do you find yourself totally unattracted to even the hottest girl/guy around?
• Do you feel that your day is incomplete if you do not talk/meet your best friend?
• If your best friend asks you out on a date would you say yes?

If you answered in affirmative to most of these questions, then for sure you are in love with your best friend.

If you are genuinely in love with your best friend, it makes sense that you go ahead and tell him about your feelings. For a relationship to form, the feelings have to be mutual and you will never know your best friend's feelings unless and until you talk to him. So, even if it's a risk, its worth taking! Best of luck!
