I have a very good friend who I love to death but I also care about her very much as more than a friend. She’s beautiful, kind, caring, funny, very smart, sarcastic (in a good way), has similar interests, and is an amazing friend. She’s literally everything I’m looking for, and could ever want in a girl. Unfortunately she has a boyfriend and every time I’m around her I love being with her but it hurts so much at the same time. We’re both volunteers at a local museum and have fallen into the same group of friends there and we all went out to dinner last week and she started talking about her boyfriend, who I have met before. She said they just celebrated their six month anniversary and are in love. Is the only thing I can do is suffer through a broken heart? I’d love to be able to be honest with her and tell her how I feel but I know that I would be risking pushing her away and losing her friendship, which would break my heart even more. What should I do? How do I know if she has the same kind of feelings for me? Thank you.
