NeoGen85 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Basically there's a woman I've been good friends with for about 4 years. Both of us are really close of course. In the past couple of months I've been thinking about her a lot but I didn't really connect that to how I've been feeling. Awhile back I invited her out with my immediate and extended family for dinner. As she went to the bathroom I remember my father saying, "that should be my daughter in-law". My mom agreed and of course I'm disagreeing. My dad is a dedicated Christian man and I never heard him say this: "If you wanted her, you probably could have it." I was absolutely shocked. Anyway, I went away for business for a couple months. I started dwelling on what my parents had said. When I came back I was so excited to see her and I didn't want the moment we had together to end. Driving home it clicked and the whole entire time I just kept saying, "this can't be happening". Am I falling for her? Why did it take so long? We've always been occupied by another person. However this time around I've been focused on my life and no one else for about a year or so. It allowed me to get serious about where I wanted to be. And it felt good to only have to worry about myself. The problem is that she does have a boyfriend(talk about bad timing). There has always been an attraction between us(even when we were in relationships at the same time) but it has always been convenient and easy to just stay friends. I definitely love her as a friend; but we've always been so close that the love is turning into something else(on my end). And I know it's not lust simply because as her friend I just wouldn't want to break up the relationship she's in. It's the mind against the heart; I just want them to be working together.
