How do I tell my friend I've fallen for her?

My friend has a boyfriend and it's a long distance relationship, but they've been together for almost 2 years now. My friend and I, we've been hanging out together more than usual lately and I've finally realized that she's The One. I've known her for quite some time. How do I tell her my feelings without jeopardizing our relationship? Is that even possible? Give answers, not comments please. I need all the help I can get right now.

    If you feel this way you should take her out to dinner or for a walk and tell her. You need to be prepared that this may end or change the friendship. Before talking to her you need to decide what would be worse... being her friend or possibly changing what you have. It could work out great and you could be together but if she is totally into her boyfriend, there is a thin line. You should be able to pick up on any signs she may be giving you if she feels the same. Does she look at you differently? flirt a little with you? smile a lot when you are around? Those are all signs that may mean she is into you as well. Be careful not to be the rebound guy either from when she breaks up with her current boyfriend.

    It's unfair for you to tell her how you feel when you know she is in a commited relationship, especially of 2 years duration. I would wait for her...you said she was the one. You support her and listen but never try to sabotage the relationship or she'll resent and blame you later on. Don't tell her how you feel yet...but do be kind and attentive. That's probably the last thing u want to hear. But if she means that much to you... don't cause her any grief.

    Well, I don't think you should tell her, because, ya it will put your friendship in jeopardy. If you tell her you love her, and she doesn't love you, be prepared, the rest of the year she could act really awkward around you. But if you tell her, and she says she loves you too, than you could be together but still your friendship is diminished. and bottling up your feelings for her won't help either. You have three choices: Bottle up your feelings for her and stay friends, wait for her to say she likes you first, or tell her and put your friendship in jeopardy or maybe not have friendship at all.

    right well every now and again someone is in a situation like that and my advice for you is to think about it.Telling her wont necessariy jeoardiz your friendship but it will come as a shock to her if she didnt have any idea.

    Maybe if you just spend some more time with her and then think about exactly what your going to say because it will be a big enough shock as it is .. but you need to get it off your chest =]

    good luck

    My friend, you must remember that your friend has a boyfriend. N my advise is to be fair to her. You should just be a platonic friend to her now. I'm afraid that by telling her how you feel might ruin your friendship. Or you can just drop hints to her, by telling her that you feel so comfortable n close to her at this moment that you fear falling for her. But pls do it with discreet.

    No...dont confess now,wait until she and her boyfriend break up because long-distance relationship dont last and the "golden" opportunity is when she is recovering from the break-up.

    talk to her and slide in that subject and just simply tell her taht ur better for her (distance and everything) and she might go home and think about this and she'll more then likely realize ur right ... but just be urself m8 !
