Never thought I'd post anonymously but here goes.
I started uni this year and made some great friends, one of them, lets call her Emma, I'm really close to. Emma's the kind of girl I'd normally go for and we have a lot in common, at the moment we're really close and can spend hours on the phone to each other everyday and a lot more than that in person. The thing is, when we met I had a girlfriend, who's now not my girlfriend, its been months and months now but I was in love with my girlfriend a lot.
Now I think I'm falling for Emma, we get on great, but I'm afraid of doing anything, because of a few reasons. For one, a friend (or two, or more actually!) let her know that he liked her, she didn't feel the same way and talked to me about the whole thing. She's now more distant from him and feels awkward around him too, its happened a few times and I've been there for her each time to talk about it, the last thing I want is to be another one of that group. Secondly, we've been out a lot together, but because we were friends I didn't really dance too close to her if we went clubbing say, so now, when I want to make a move or something, I can't really, because if I did it would look strange, compared to before. I've made it such a big step, because we're such good friends.
I don't even know what I'm really asking, but if anyone has any advice at all, I love being friends with her, but I'd love more to be closer, but if she doesn't feel the same way then what happens?
