Recently realized this weekend that I have feelings for one of my good girl friends. I also realized that I think that she might have feelings for me too but it's hard to tell because we know each other so well. We went to high school together and both go to the same college now. We've been friends for around 5 years. Basically, I had an epiphany yesterday that I had feelings for her. Things over the past month have been gradually changing between us. We've started flirting more than we ever used to and things have been different. I feel like I've always kind of known, but never really put everything together until yesterday. It started off slower around a month ago, but it's gotten more intense over the past week and a half

 

Basically, I've realized that over the past month, she's gradually introduced me to all of her friends that she's met this year. Every time that I met one of them, she made sure to introduce us. Last weekend, she went to some get together at a bar/restaurant on campus for a club that she's in with one of my friends (they just went as friends. I know for a fact that there's nothing between them). She called me and asked if I could take her, my friend, and 2 other people she knows to this event. I said that I could because I had nothing better to do. I picked them up and one of her best friends who I hadn't met was with her. They were all already really drunk, and my girl friend introduced me to this best friend like 4 seperate times when she was in the car, and made sure that I would remember her. I originally thought that she was trying to hook me up with her, but she literally hasn't mentioned anything about meeting her once since it happened. She told me to pick them up afterwards too but ended up changing her mind later that night because she felt bad for asking me. Then she went on this whole spiel with me on the phone that night about how I'm such a great guy and everything. I didn't think anything of it at the time because we've been friends for so long, but some stuff happened this weekend that made me rethink it.

 

We had a big get together with a lot of our friends this saturday during the day and she was there. Everyone got really drunk, and me and my friend were flirting for a lot of the time that we were there. She started to playfully punch me, or brush up against me multiple times that day, which she has never really done to me before. Out of nowhere, she randomly started talking about how some guy she used to be involved with (who I absolutely hate, and she knows this) wants to get back together with her and all of this stuff, which I of course repeatedly told her it was a terrible idea because he's a douche. We continued to flirt throughout the day, and then later that day, she invited me to go out with her and her 2 friends that night, which she never usually does, but I said no because I was going to another party that night. Then she randomly texted me later that night too, which she also used to never do. Then, I basically put everything together yesterday, and I don't know how I didn't realize it before. Does this girl like me back? Because it kind of seems like she does to me.

It kinda does seem like it.

 

An easy way to get a better idea without putting your heart on the line is to ask her "Could you ever see us as more than friends?"

 

If she says yes, kiss her.

 

If she says no, carry on as her friend.

I thought so too. It's just weird to think that we might like each other after all of this time. We've been close for a while. And I'm close with her family as well. I'm friends with both her brother and her sister, and her parents both love me, and I see all of them all of the time. I'm just kind of confused about how to move forward. It's weird because I'm usually pretty good with this stuff and being able to pick up signals, but it's completely different when you're friends with the girl/

YOU NEED TO TELL HER how you feel. She's probably waiting for you to tell her. I am in a situation where I am in love with my guy friend and each night wishing and hoping he loves me back. TELL HER!

i've also known my friend for the longest time too. We are in college together now too. 4 years and counting.
