Off the top of my head - if she’s not the one who’s in love with you - she’ll be in a situation were she’ll have to make “concessions” in order to think about being in love with you... NOT THAT THIS IS A GOOD OR BAD THING it’s just the way it will work out. Therefore, I recommend reading some books on “sales”. They’re written very holistically these day’s - meaning how to deal with personal relationships - I have read “3 Steps To Yes, Negotiating Guide You’ll Ever Need and Getting Past No”. I think they came in a set when I ordered them. But they have some very holistic advice in dealing with relationships... Because (in my opinion) there is no such thing as having friends of the opposite sex other than your significant other - no such thing - even on Judge Judy - as soon as she hears about some second girl in the story - she right away say’s “right there is your problem” no ifs’ and’s or buts’ about it... So this protecting the friendship (holds very little weight in the long run). Your going to “part” it just wont be under any negative vibes - you’ll call each other some day (doubtfully) but talk about how we just went are separate way’s.... Please ANYONE correct me if I’m wrong.... Because I’m ready to have season passes to the theme parks again and go weekly FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, so why don’t girls feel like this?

As someone who recently confessed his love to his best friend yes. Get her alone look her in the eye and tell her you love her. The worst she can do is tell you she never wants to see you again, but if she is your best friend she may feel the same or she could just respect your feelings and tell you she wishes to remain your friend. It may hurt like hell but other wise that weight get unbearable.
