Re: Undying love for my best friend...please read(long)
Brian, Can you tell him what you feel for him without expectations? That's the bottom line, because he may not feel romantically toward you.
From what you've written, I don't think it'll change your relationship much - at the most a few awkward days. But honestly, I think he'll be relieved that your pulling away from him wasn't because everyone is telling you to pull away but that you were trying to get a grip on your feelings for him which may (or may not) be appropriate.
Either way, I think you're making yourself nuts worrying about this. What I would do (and since you know your situation better than anyone, only YOU can decide what you'll do) is get it over with and stop torturing yourself. If it goes either way you can finally move on with your life; but if you just keep playing these scenarios in your head, you'll just keep being stuck in the same place and you've already decided that you're not happy where you currently are. Good luck with this and let us know what YOU decide and how it goes!
