You arent going to be losing as much as you think by admitting your feelings for them.
you’re able to hide your feelings from them but you cant hide them from yourself.
That means the only choice you have left ishowyou ruin the friendship.

God & Man
you might ruin the friendship by telling them how you feel and taking a shot on true love.
Either way, things are going to get complicated now that you want to be with them.
Of course, you know your heart better than anyone.

Especially if youre both available because that window of opportunity might not last forever.
Of course, if you want to be more cautious, test the waters.
You dont have to blurt out how much you care about them.
Do what feels right.
You dont want your fear to hold you back from finding your person.
And at least youll know whether or not you would have worked out.
You wont have to spend the rest of your life questioning what could have been.
Worry about whether youre going to let this golden opportunity pass you by.
