friend

[damon]

I have a absolutly gorgeous friend that I have known for only two years. The first year that I knew her we werent really close. We talked some but basically just had common friends. This past year we have gotten extreamly close and have spend a fair about of time together. I think I am begining to have feelings for her that go beyond our friendship. The problem is that my relationship with her life-long best friend has just been downsized to nothing more than friends. I think it will seem desperate and could ruin my friendship with my ex-girlfriend if i say anything about my feelings. what should i do?

Put a lot of time in between your ex-girlfriend and your friend. In the very best of circumstances, upgrading a friendship to a romance is extremely difficult and a bit sensitive. You have to do it very carefully.

 

If I had a dime for every post this week that involved this identitical situation, I could see several movies at the theatre. You ought to review recent previous posts on the subject to gain insight on this issue.

 

I hope you will wait a while before you do anything regarding this. In the meantime, give some serious thought to these feelings you are developing. You could be going nowhere but heartache city. If your lady friend isn't having somewhat similar feelings at the time of your pronouncement, you could create a very awkward twist in your friendship.
