@Yodaman Jer:
Staying her friend now will make things less difficult for you later on. Be her best friend, no girl asks for more than that (Not out loud, anyway). I know from personal experience that should you get into a relationship and she isn't 100% sure about it, you may end up regretting it. And believe me, watching "your girl" date someone else is much less painful when you haven't already had her. Be friends, and if she becomes interested in you, I'm sure she'll let you know somehow.
@Grandma:
Been there, done that. I had a girl that I knew since I was 2 years old. After a long time she started telling me she liked me and wanted to be more than friends.... it was only a few days after that that I found out she slept with my brother the night she said it to me. Haven't spoken to her since I told her exactly what I thought of her.
She may be a ____ but ever since I told her that, I haven't heard of her doing things like that since... in fact, she's married now with kids.
@Omega:
I have been on the opposite side of your problem. My best friend had the hots for my little sister. Needless to say, he didn't tell me about it until I confronted him myself. After a little chat, I told him it was okay with me so long as he didn't do anything stupid. (She's 5 1/2 years younger than him)
My parents knew about it, and kept to themselves, though I knew what they thought of the whole thing.
ANYWAY, long story short, I caught him carrying her up to her room one morning. So, I dragged him back downstairs and pretty much blew up on him. Regardless of my views, they stayed together but ended up breaking it off later on because my sis is just too young to know what she wants and there were PLENTY of guys for her around her own age. My friend is now dating a woman around HIS own age, and she lives roughly 100 miles away. (They've been dating now for over a year)
Moral of the story???
Life sucks, deal with it any way you can and it all comes together in the end.
The one and only,
Those who live in the past, are destined to insanity. Those who live only for the future, will be slaves to their ambitions.
Those who live in the moment... only they, are truly happy.
