Can longtime friendship transform into love ?
0
I've been friends with this girl for sometime now, we met out of nowhere and suddenly became really close. To be honest I was crushing on her at first but we joke a lot ,we used to say jokes like couples,we vibe well, we can talk from 9pm till midnight, we share our worries and advice one another so I thought it's best to 'uncrush' my crush.
Weeks back we were talking on the phone and she asked me why am I doing so and so things is it because she loves me that's why I'm behaving like that ? I just laughed and ignored it as we use to play like that a lot. She repeated it again ,this time In a more serious tone . I was like love ? She said yes and I shouldn't pretend I don't know.
Hmm I know we are really close, I've talked to her mom a few times , and I had a crush on her in the beginning but I pushed it aside as I observed that despite we are close ,maybe she doesn't harbor the same feelings as me,I can't risk telling her how I feel only for her to shoot me down ,that will ruin our friendship and I can't have that .
For a long time ,I kept away any feelings I have for her deep inside me and played along .
Now I was shocked to hear her say such,I thought we were playing, stupid me never knew she meant it.
Now the problem is , we have grown to be too close that I view her almost as a sister . Yes I have feelings for her but I don't know why it seems kind of awkward inside me 😆. I confessed to her about my feelings too and she berated me for keeping such things from her and making her suffer all these while . When I tell her I love you,I some times half expect her to laugh into my face and tell me she can't believe I fell for such prank . But I know she's serious .
Now my question is how do I remove that awkwardness of being friends for too long ? How do I make my full feelings resurface? How do you fall in love with someone whom you've practically known almost everything about her life as you would to your sister ? Will the awkwardness go with time or what ?
