So, the girl (f23) I (m25) love has started to date again a month and a half after they broke up with their previous boyfriend. I want to confess my feelings at some point, but I learned this today when I went over to her new place. She’s only been on one date with them and she likes them alot. This leaves me in a very conflicted place.
Because she is one of my closest friends, I am very much scared of rejection and if it goes wrong, it’s not gonna be good. I’m very scared of losing the good friendship we have, but I’m more scared of being rejected. I struggle with anxiety and OCD, and the last time I got truly rejected, it was not good for my mental health. The stakes are much higher this time. I am heavily leaning towards her how I feel as I don’t wish to live without regrets with this matter.
My friends have told me she may be attempting to fill the void from her previous relationship and the fact she’s dating again so soon is an interesting sign. I have not explicitly told her in the past that I like her, but I figured the body language I have displayed over the years had made it pretty obvious. But I’m not sure, as she’s never shown explicit interest in me either. I have the feeling that there’s something there in that regard, but I’m not sure. The biggest thing my friends have told me, she doesn’t seem to know how I feel based off what I have told her.
I am going to tell her, and it’s gonna to have to be soon before this new relationship takes off. What should I do? This is a real Kobybashi Maru situation for me here.
