You have known each other all your life. You are familiar with each other’s quirks and habits, likes and dislikes, favorite things and greatest fears. You can even finish off each other’s sentences!

But what happens when you suddenly wake up and see your best friend in a new light? What if your heart suddenly starts beating at a different rate when your best friend walks by and says hi? What happens when you start falling for your best friend?

This is a common dilemma for those who have best friends from the opposite sex. And this situation can prove to be terribly frustrating, and can leave you with a lot of worries on your mind. Should you tell your best friend, or just keep it inside? If you decide to pursue your feelings, then you have to be prepared for the risks. Taking your relationship a step higher will definitely have repercussions and can either make or break your relationship. Before you decide to ‘fess up to your best pal, here two things you should ask yourself.

• Where are the feelings coming from? You have to determine the origin of your feelings, because there are cases when this feeling of love might just be a false alarm. For instance, you might just be feeling lonely because your boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with you. Or maybe your best friend has a new special someone and you are feeling jealous because he or she has no more time for you. In such cases, you can easily mistake these feelings for love so it is important that you determine if it’s really the real deal before you say anything.

• Am I ready for the consequences? Telling your best friend that you have feelings for him or her can either result in two different scenarios. First, your best friend confesses that he or she feels the same way and agrees to get together with you. Second, your best friend might want to be ‘just friends’, rejecting your offer of love. Either way, your relationship will change from that point onward. You have to determine if you are ready to face these consequences and you can deal with the changes. Remember that you can lose your best friend and the friendship that you both cherish at some point. Ask yourself it is worth the risk in the end.

Take some to carefully think through things and make up your mind. Telling your best pal that you want to be more than friends is definitely a big decision to make. Once you have decided to go for it, then you should be ready to sit down and communicate those feelings to him or her. At this point, it will not do you good to keep those feelings to yourself. You should eventually let your friend know.

But do not expect too much. Things might not go smoothly and you never know what your friend’s decision might be. Give him or her some time to think about it. In the end, you should be prepared to accept your friend’s decision, whatever it may be.
