Have you EVER had a crush on a best friend?

I did but I didn't know it was a crush at the time

 

I go much farther than a crush. I'm currently madly in love with my best friend. There are no words for how painful it is. And my friend is also affectionate with guys, so he gives me hugs, kisses, "I love yous", we've shared a bed, etc. I've questioned whether he might be bisexual, because he treated me differently than other people and has done prolonged eye staring (more than 15 secs) at dinner before. But we got in a big fight over it last year and he said He's straight and nothing will happen. Who knows if it's a case of "the lady doth protest too much", but I have to take him at his word. It's killing me though. He's all I want.

 

Nope.

 

The first person I fell in love with was my best friend, she also became my first kiss. Sadly we didn't work out and even to this day I would probably sell my soul to be hers but alas shes married and has a beautiful little girl.

 

The kind of question I shouldn't answer, or even think about it.

 

Yes. In college she was also my roommate. Though I didn't acknowledge it as such until later.....

 

My best friend when she found out told everyone in my year. I was really crushed by it but I forgave her because a similar thing happened to her a couple weeks later she literally came crying apologies to me. P.s. Her problem wasn't my fault.

 

Currently, yeah. Unfortunately, my self-confidence is non-existent, and she kinda has a boyfriend.

And we're fucking perfect for each other! We have almost everything in common! She thinks we were the same person in a past life.

Oh fuck me.

 

Nope... friends are friends, preys are preys... Never mix business with pleasure.

 

I am pretty sure I have had a crush on 75% of my best friends at some point xD
I read somewhere - I don't know how true it is - that you are more likely to develop a crush on someone you spend a lot of time with, and know a lot about. Maybe this is why people tend to crush on their best friends a lot when they are in their sexual preference.

 

I think I was probably in love with my best friend back in college. She was the person that made me first seriously start to question my sexuality. I never told her, though I thought about it more than once. We're still friends, we've been through a lot since then and things have changed, but I'm glad to still have her. Perhaps it was for the best we never crossed that line.

I crushed on another friend for a long, long time after that. So many nights of lost sleep over him, heh. He and I did eventually get together for awhile. When things were good, they were very good. But when they went bad, they went very, very badly. Unfortunately in the end we realized we could only keep on going if we did so apart from each other.

 

My best friends are like family. To be honest I never even had fantasies about either of them. One of my best friends had a crush on me for the longest time though. I was so self absorbed back then that I somehow failed to notice some pretty obvious signs. lol.

 

Several, and it varied I went on dates with a few girls I considered best friends but that's about it... Nothing exciting beyond that ever happened~ I'm a very affectionate person so me getting a crush on a friend is a pretty common occurrence..... I've even had crushes on some of my male friends in the past too! :lol:

 

i had a crush on my female best friend, i told her and she said that we should just be friends ,and i have a slight crush on my best guy friend, i was round his house the other day and we were sitting on his bed and for the entire time i wished he would lean over and kiss me,sadly it would never happen because hes a bit homophobic.

 

Yes, for years. Then something happend and he could not deal, I could not deal. Got messy not seen him for years.

Wish it never happened

 

Yes, I did have a crush on my best friend. I managed to come out to him fairly recently and get a lot of support, but he still doesn't know I used to have a crush on him (I'm not planning on ever telling him). It took me a couple years to get over him but I finally did it. I always knew there could never be ANYTHING between us because he's straight and I think that's what helped me to get over him.

 

Oops, accidentally posted the same thing twice. Sorry about that.

 

I know how you feel :-(

 

Oh my gosh, yes. I was in love with my (straight) best friend all through high school. It was adolescent infatuation, but it felt very real to me at the time, and I couldn't help it. It was quite painful because I couldn't tell anybody (I went to an all boys Catholic HS that was very homophobic). Worse, I never told him and cut off contact with him after I went to college bc I was young and stupid and didn't know how to handle my feelings. We're "friends" on fbook now, but he probably thinks I'm a huge jerk, which I guess I am. I wish we got "do overs" in life. I'm not proud of how I handled that.

Besides him, I've had minor crushes on straight friends, but nothing that has spoiled the friendship. I wish I could program myself to not develop feelings for straight men, but it's not something I can really control.
