How do I tell my best friend I like them?
So me & Jamie have been best friends for 7 years. We met through online-dating actually—both failed matches, lol, but clicked instantly as friends. We tell each other everything. Or at least I thought so until last month when they mentioned their ex is getting married. I felt this weird pang, like jealousy but too strong for just a friend. Then I realized I’ve been avoiding dating anyone because I keep comparing them to Jamie. Last weekend we stayed up late watching dumb movies like always, but when they fell asleep on my shoulder I didn’t move. I just sat there staring at the ceiling like wow, this is it. I’m totally into my best friend. But Jamie’s still hung up on their ex & keeps talking about going to the wedding in July. I dont know if I should say anything. What if it ruins everything? They’ve shown zero interest in me like that & I cant risk losing them. But the thought of watching them cry over this ex at a wedding they’re still obsessed with while I sit there pretending it’s fine… I cant. Am I just reading into things or am I already too far gone
