No yeah that makes complete sense, that sounds exactly like what my now-boyfriend has described about how he felt.
If she views you as good as a friend as ypu view her, and it does turn out she doesn't like you back, I wouldn't be too worried about your friendship suffering long term. Sure, maybe it'll be weird for a bit, and the best thing for you to do may be to take a step back for a little to get over your feelings (knowing that you at least tried), and she could use that time to get over any potential weirdness she may be feeling.
After that, I mean, y'all have been friends for eight years already. Eight years is a long time, I'm willing to bet you guys have been through a lot with each other. That doesn't just go away because of some awkwardness. Might be a little weird short term, but I think you'd both get over it and be able to continue on with your friendship.
High risk high reward type thing, but I really don't think the risk is that high goven what I've stated above. And from what you've stated it sounds like you're already suffering from this. Wouldn't it feel better to not have to deal with the uncertainty, no matter what ends up happening? Then you'd either know for sure you need to take some time to get over it, or, you've just started an amazing new relationship. Any potential weirdness would surely be worth that possible outcome.
And, even if it doesn't go that way, it's not like you're throwing your whole friendship away (see, everything stated above). I may be biased here, but the way I see it, the potential benefits here far outweigh the potential downsides.
I don't blame anyone for having that feeling about this situation – it's awful and I do not discount that; the type of person I am though, would accept what happened as a shitty thing with no thought as to me and my day … but I would be able to get over it.
I enjoyed my day, they didn't interfere to the point that it was obvious that it wasn't about me. I wouldn't skew my feelings towards my wedding or my friends because of this.
Couples counselling while dating other people? Shutting the gate after the horse has bolted, and wasting money. If youre wanting to date others and be single youre already checked out of trying to fix things.
If a friend of my partners that i let into my fucking house decided to be shady like that and confess feelings in the hope he reciprocated (lets not bullshit ourselves here. No one tells someone they have feelings for them unless they are shooting their shot and hoping that person does too – even if its just a little bit) theyd not be welcome back.
You dont get to try to break uo my relationship on monday then eat from my snack bowl on friday.
Tell him that she is no longer welcome in your home and that how would he feel if a mutual friend or friend that came to your home each time sent you a message like that. Would he be happy sharing the room with a guy that tried to get you to fuck him off? I highly doubt it.
True, but then I think back to high school and what my 18 year old nieces/nephews are like. They’re still idiots and many are not as mature as we might think/remember 18 year olds being (I get he was 19, but my point is that they’re still very young)
If the connection feels right then give the relationship a chance. I’ve been in a similar situation – the relationship had a clear 6 month expiry date because I was relocating to another continent, but the connection was really strong so I figured I’d just see how it went. It was 100% worth it, we’ve now settled in the same city together and we’re getting married this year

Bro, I’ll pay him $40k plus the $1k. Tell him he can sell to me instead
But why? It's just dance video. What creative input does she have in this??
Im sorry. Am I just unusual here?

Losing some weight would help here. Have sex with your husband.
Yes and they pretty much all think I have no backbone.
Expert enough. I will take this advice and heed it to the next step.
