    So my friend came over today and he was expecting me to tell him I loved him. He hasn't said he knows but...he knows...trust me.

    When he asked if there was something I wanted to talk about.

    I was so so so nervous I felt my stomach drop and I felt nauseous. I want to tell him I love him but not yet...maybe never

    He's such a great friend and I love him so much I want to tell him but I don't want it to ruin our friendship...

    What should I do? I'm so stressed! :icon_sad:

    if he has feelings for you too then go for it...but dont rush into things.... and think is he a friend that if he does turn you down would he still be froends with you.

    Don't say it unless you really mean it! Otherwise that can be bad later.

    I do mean it. I love him...

    I've only felt this way once in my life. It was with a girl. I loved her and I feel the same way for him.

    If he really does know, and still seems willing to hang out with you I doubt you telling him would hurt your friendship.

    Well knows then why be worried. Cause if he does then really he might like you back or something. I doubt anything will change. Is he also bi/gay???

    Well, to me sounds like he's gay/bi, who knows. But I suggest you go for it cause your open to just about everyone, so I see no obsticles in your way at this point. :slight_smile:

    But I don't really know how I can tell him. Every time I try to tell him, I get sooooo nervous and choke and then feel nauseous

    Hmmmmmmm...Then try telling him indirectly. If you want to do it the old fashion way write it on a piece of paper and tell someone to give it to him. If you're still not confident he'll still be your friend, try not to leave evidence that it came from you, if you get a negative reaction deny the note was from you--and act clueless, if your contiance can take it. Or you could IM, Email, Call, etc. Him there are plenty of ways to fake an email.

    I suggest using Frank Herbert's litany against fear

    I must not fear
    Fear is the mind-killer
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration
    I will face my fear
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing
    Only I will remain

    You see, confidence, in general and with this sort of thing, is initially about faking it and forcing yourself to do things out of your comfort zone. In this case, jerking the words out, even if they come out in a way that will sound stupid.
