Re: Not sure how to define my feelings for my friend

I'd say just sit tight and wait. Don't do anything until you're sure that your desire goes beyond just curiosity or hints of romance. It might a) pass, or b) simply not be a big deal — sometimes it's possible to have feelings of romance or sexual attraction towards a person without actually longing for a romantic relationship with them.

Do you feel jealous at the idea of her being romantically involved with someone else? Do your feelings for her linger persistently in your thoughts and cloud your interactions with her? Do you feel unfulfilled or frustrated at the idea of being solely platonic friends? Is keeping your feelings a secret making you unhappy? Are your feelings negatively affecting any romantic interactions with other people you may have had since your feelings for her started? If not, then I'd say just keep your feelings to yourself until you can define them better and be sure you have them, rather than risk such a good friendship.

I guess I’m just figuring out how different degrees of attraction might work for me, that attraction and wanting a romantic relationship can be separated. I mean, I know it rationally, but actually feeling it and figuring out how that separation works for me is something else.

Hm, the answer to all of that is no. Well, I am having a hard time not thinking about it when I’m around her, although not to the degree that I can’t interact with her as usual. Most of all I just love her and really care about her, and want her to be happy. Good questions, though. Thanks.
