From Longing in Longhornville:
Hey- This is a cool idea. it makes problem-solving fun, fun, fun ! But- on to a more serious topic... myself. So is it better to take a chance & tell a friend that you like them & know that at least you tried (don't worry- we're good friends, she could handle it & would be flattered). Hmm... I know that she thinks I am the cat's meow, but let's face it- we just aren't always attracted to our friends. Any suggestions ???
Hmmm... That's a toughie. It's really up to your own judgement. You have to carefully measure the benefit to cost ratio of asking your friend. On the plus side, you might find out that this person has similar feelings for you, and you could find yourself in a healthy and open relationship. On the negative side, you might find out that this person does not share these feelings, and you could wind up putting a stress on your friendship, possibly even losing this person for good. So you must ask yourself, what do you value more, your friendship as it stands, or a potential relationship with this person. To quote a lamearse oldtimer saying- "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
Wait a sec, that's kinda gross, if you think about it.
Man. I'm sorry I said that.
Anyway, to quote another saying- "Just do it."
So as you see, stock sayings don't really help all that much.
You've just got to make the call yourself, I guess. Go with your
gut.
Of course, the AMAZING relationship problem solver tells you to go for it. So go for it. You're young, got a lot of life ahead of you, take a chance!
