I remember yung bestfriend ko, when we're in college, he once said na he fell for me since high school. I asked him why he didn't made a move. Kasi I feel the same, I love him, he's my first and greatest love kahit walang kami and he knows it, tinanong ko din sya if natatakot ba sya if hindi ko sya sagotin. He said na mas natatakot daw sya kung mawala ang friendship namin.
Years passed and we're still bestfriends, nothing changed, the feelings are still there. I'm happy na he made that decision na hindi ako ligawan kasi mga bata pa kami noon. Walang napatunayan, palamunin pa ng magulang at immature. Siguro kung naging kami noon, sira na friendship namin ngayon at hate na namin ang isa't-isa.
Now na nagmature na kami, independent and professional, dun na naglevel-up ang relationship namin. We're going strong, 3 years and counting.
You don't need advice ts. You need to think this through. Ano ang mas matimbang, friendship or love. Love is a gamble daw sabi ng iba pero alalahanin mo din na kapag natalo ka, mawawalan ka. If you're lucky na manalo ka, baka mahal ka din nya pala. If not, wala ka na ngang love life, wala ka pang friendship. Worth it ba ang love na nararamdaman mo sa friendship nyo.
But then again, if di mo naman nasabi, all that's left to you is the "what ifs" what if mahal ka din pala nya diba. At the end of the day, it's all up to you. Good luck and God Bless!
