Relationships that begin in friendship can be rewarding and comfortable because you already know each other’s imperfections and flaws and love each other all the more in spite of them. The most difficult aspect of transitioning from friendship to coupledom is simply admitting that you like one another. There is always the danger of risking a great, solid friendship for the sake of knowing the truth. But there is also danger in denying you and your friend a possible future filled with happiness and love.

The only problem is I’m the friend who likes my best friend 😅

Extra signs I notice:
* They will try to make you laugh. They will reference inside jokes and try to involve you in what they find funny.
* Maybe they'll act more stiff or nervous. Maybe they don't hug you as much as they used to because now they feel them differently. Touch suddenly feels more romantic and intimate so it's might happen more awkwardly.
*They will include you in more groups: maybe you'll get asked to come with to a club they attend, or present you one of their hobbies. Maybe they suddenly are willing and excited for you to meet their family or friends. Including you in other areas of their life will result in more time together. Also, they might be more open and trusting to share a personal or more vulnerable side of themselves.

That's the way I met my wife, everything started with a friendship, we were best friends, hung out, took walks together and talked and laughed a lot. one evening I had the courage to kiss her...on the forehead🤦‍♂️😅 I was too scated that I might be just a friend so I thought a kiss on the forehead can also be a, ,friends" thing. She replied with a real kiss😊
That was 15 years ago, the love of my life is still my best friend!!

At the age of 27, I told my feelings towards a person for the first time and got rejected. It hurts badly, at this point in time these videos makes more sense.

There are 5 love languages according to author Garry Chapman.
They are,
1. Words of affirmation,
Saying nice things and having good verbal communication.
2. Spending quality time,
Just being together or being physically present.
3. Physical touch,
Holding hands, cuddling, hugging etc. Not necessarily in a sexual manner but rather a romantic one.
4. Receiving gifts,
Getting something thoughtful.
5. Acts of service,
Doing nice things for each other.
Everyone expresses their affection through all 5 of these ways. But we tend to gravitate towards one or two of them more than the others. So it is essential to have at least one common love language for a relationship to work long-term.

I have a tip, if your mutual friends start teasing the two of you about liking each other, even if they don't know you do, it's probably a sign there's something between you. I have found that it's alot easier to notice mutual interest from an outside perspective

[CheSy_Cheesecake]

So many videos about love…
This is starting to feel like a sign of psych2go for me to confess to my crush lol

My wife is my best friend and we've been friends forever. Since we were kids. I was so nervous to ask her on a date but she told me shes been wishing I would for years. I told her I loved her in junior year in high school. And at 19 we were married and now have 2 beautiful kids. Shianna if you see this. I love you so much. And for anyone else reading this. Take the leap of faith and ask that special someone out. You never know what could happen.

Ahhh nothing better and more rewarding than starting as friends and end up becoming lovers. Everything feels more natural since both already know their own highs and lows. You don't need to demonstrate anything to each other. You just vibe with your partner.

It’s really easy to know if you just tell them your feelings. It’s wayyy more difficult if you don’t have feelings for them, but just asking can be very beneficial

[Jaydon]

I’ve got a massive crush on a friend. She’s perfect in my eyes, even though I can tell she doesn’t see it sometimes. I love and adore everything about her, and just being around her is enough to make me so much happier. She’s really affectionate with everyone too and my love language is primarily physical touch, especially cuddling. But I never see her in the summers and I’ve probably only got a few months to have a shot with her, and she has way better options around her than… me.
I just want to be in her arms and be loved by her, I miss her more than life…

[guilhermefernandes]

The worst part about it is when you identify your self being the friend who wants to be “more” but you don’t see the reciprocity .

[secretlyacutie]

This is so sad that I’ve never experienced anyone being mutually in love with me that this video made cry 😢

[ricardolc]

For some reason i can only fell in love with someone if we are close Friends. I can feel atraction for other people but i just don't feel the same. Saddly i always get in the friendzone with the people i most care about.

[a.paditya]

1.You'd want to know more about them.
2. You always jump at first chance to talk with them.
3. You'll feel excited every time they just say your name
4. You'll start saying things out of your own control when you're near them
5. A small compliment from them is enough to make your day

[naa]

Can you make video about when it's better to stay friends not be lovers?
Lots of people don't wanna risk loosing a friend by starting romantic relationship with them. Many times it ruins the friendship if they broke up. So.. how to tell if you will be better as friends only?
