I think I love my best friend, but he's the same as me! What do I do?

hi Matt, well my name is Elvira and beleive me i know exactly what u r going threw...last year i found myself in this almost SAME EXACT predicament...i started having rather strong feelings for my best friend who was also a girl like me...Matt but listen i dont think u should tell ur friend, atleast not yet...what i think u should do is try to find out if these are REAL feelings or if ur just going threw a lil emotional thing that is causing u to BELIEVE u love him....its ok if ur straight and its ok if ur gay or bi or whatever...i bet many people have gone threw this b4 even if they dont admit it...but all the matters is if it is really true...honestly u r the only one who can answer whether u love ur friend and whether u should tell him...we dont know ur friend...friends have a better understanding of eachother and u will b able to tell what it will do to the friendship depending on how Nic acts...i was always worried to tell my best friend cuz like we ALWAYS were together...great friends and we still r....and actually last year she asked me who i liked when i told people i had a crush on a girl....and i confessed to her that i liked her....and she said "really?...ok" and she continued still being the same person to me...no different....but i know sum of my friends that if it was THEM i had a crush on or loved then they would freak and try to stay away from me....it all depends on the person really...but the real question here is "do u really love him? or is it just mixed feelings?"....Matt i know what ur going threw and i jsut want u to know that im here for u and if u ever need to talk...im here, u can jsut message me....i dont judge people...i just want to help u figure this out....my email it elviracarias@yahoo.com
