Dear Queenie,
My best friend is a man I’ve known since we were in school together. Now I have fallen in love with him and I don’t know if I should risk our friendship by telling him.
Queenie, what do you advise?—Undecided
Dear Undecided,
You might as well tell him. Possibly he also has such feelings for you that he has not mentioned for the same reason you have kept mum. If that is the case, you will both be free to take your friendship to the next level.
On the other hand, your friendship does not have to end if he does not reciprocate your feelings, and you will be free to find romance with someone else.
