When a guy and a lady have been too close friends for a very long time, chances are high that you could end up falling for one another a way that you both cannot explain.
In such an event, opening up about you truly feel for the other person is a tall order. Many try and fail terribly. Well, the truth is, it is extremely hard to just transition from being best friends to lovers.
But did you know there are several things that in most cases, best friends who have intimate feelings for one another end up not saying for fear of the following:
1. You may not be that much into each other
Because you have been friends for a very long time, you may not really know if your friend is that much into you. They may look okay and happy at your side when you hang out but you will never tell if they have intimate feelings for you.
This breeds the fear of reproach and you find it difficult to tell them openly about how you feel.
2. The worry about ruining your friendship will finish you
When you keep worrying about the possible outcomes, you will be ruined. It is a terrible mistake to just assume that you will be good. When you think about the possible love between you, your friendship will always be at stake. One will have to be sacrificed for the other to exist.
3. Knowing who you have been will freak you out
If you have been that close, it is possible that you would have come into contact with who they have been dating. Even if they have separated, it is hard to come calling for their love especially if they have been your friends as well.
4. The thrill of courting will fade
Even if you get to accept your feelings, that thrilling romance will eventually fade and you may even consider going back to being friends. It is that hard.
