Dear internet,

 

Growing up, until about middle school, my best friend was a girl. Our

 

mom's met when we were infants and we played together ALL THE TIME. She went

 

to a private boarding school on the other side of the country for high school

 

and stayed there for college, going to a well respected school and doing very

 

well. Now she's in Grad School and she's incredibly successful. I'm talking

 

Over the Top well-rounded not-a-nerd but super smart. AND GORGEOUS!

 

She made a film for

 

one of her classes half way around the world (somehow she milks grant money

 

out of this school for all sorts of stuff). Anayway, the

 

year after high school she said she loved me. I was kindof a dick about it,

 

said i loved her too, but what you gotta understand about me is I'm sort of

 

retarded about this **** and plus hadn't been thinking about her because I

 

hadn't seen her in so long. So I guess I blew her off. I talked to her later

 

on and she says she loved me but wasn't IN LOVE with me as she had thought.

 

Flash forward to right now. (5 years later). I realize I'm totally in love

 

with her. It kindof scares the **** out of me because she could have totally

 

moved on. Also you should realize that I haven't done anything important

 

with my life. I did two years of college and dropped out, and work as a

 

salesman. This isn't the worst thing in the world I mean I'm only 23 (an old

 

23) but she's been winning these ****ing awards for excellence and whatever.

 

I already know I'm not gonna take any of your advice, I'm gonna tell her I

 

love her and make a dumbass out of myself, I just want your general comments

 

so I can sorta gauge what to suspect. Think she's way over me?

 

 

Also I should point out that the her PHD or whatever she's

 

getting will probably land her in some distant location. ALSO! any advice on

 

HOW TO TELL HER. this advice i will take. Thank you everyone for your comments.

OK INTERNET,

 

I'm about to tell her via text message and if this ruins everything than I hold YOU THE

 

INTERNET responsible for not giving me any advice. ALL you had to say was "you suck"

 

or "do it do it!", anything. But no, you didn't give me any advice. I know I said I wouldn't

 

take it but that was a lie. JUST JOKING I LOVE YOU INTERNET. I'll let you know how

 

it goes because I see the views going up so I know you're reading this at least.

 

ALRIGHT here goes....

If I were you I wouldnt' do it. Just because she's successful and beautiful and amazing now. I don't believe that after five years you could just suddenly have a rush of true love for someone you haven't seen in that long. Your best plan of action isn't to just randomly pop out after five years and go, "I love you!" Maybe you could just start talking to her, as if catching up with an old friend, and see if sparks fly.

 

If I were her, I would probably have dated quite a few other guys by now, and haven't thought about you in a long time except as a distant, foolish schoolgirl crush.

Thanks for the advice. too late, but thanks for the advice. I'm sure she's dated other

 

guys but I don't think I was a "school girl crush." maybe i was- The tricky thing about

 

us is that I'm going to know her forever, better or worse. I know she loves me it's just

 

whether its like a sibling or romantic. I told her I loved her and the best way to describe

 

how she responded is TACTFUL. She was really almost professional about it so that I

 

didn't feel hurt but also became aware of the OUT of the blue wt****ness about tellling

 

her after not talking for so long. Anway thus my screename. thanks Biscuit, I probably

 

should have waited to hear back but at least, i think, i didn't come off needy... so

 

there's that...
