From friendship to romance...

[switchedon]

For those of you who went from friendship to romance, can I ask you how did you know things were intensifying, did you doubt yourself and your / their feelings, was it automatically mutual, what were the signs or the inklings that you got if it was the friend who pursued you first etc. was it over a long period of time etc. Thanks for reading! Asking as Im unsure if Im misreading signals etc

well, I think that you sound great friends so even if you said something and it wasn't reciprocated, you would be able to overcome it.

Really hoping it all works out for you!

Thanks! We'll hopefully always have our friendship even if things dont work out, but not at the same intensity if a serious girlfriend becomes part of his life!That will really break my heart!

(whispers it again with love)

Tell him

Aw!! Think Im gonna phrase it like this....To give context, we will often tell eachother that we love eachother ie If either of us was going through a hard time we might say..you know I love you so very much and Im available to you whenever you need a chat etc... so when the time is right i think ill say... you know, sometimes I think we probably are just a little bit in love with eachother and watch for a reaction and wait to see.. Im so afraid it will change the whole friendship if he feels that Ive been in love with him for all of this time without saying something. Very cowardly of me.

I totally understand- it's easy for me to say it now it has worked out for me- but I do remember the uncertainty.
I'm just being romantic!

You need to tell him. I’m so glad I did as all of the signs were positive too. I hate to think how much more time I would have wasted on him if I had left things. As soon as I knew I was able to move on.

We’re still friends btw
