thats adorable but y'all im the worst at romance advice, i felt sick asking my boy. but i always say, just be upfront !! its terrifying, yes. You might cry, panic, even throw up(me lol.)but it'll be out ! just be honest, and let him know that theres no pressure or obligation for a specific answer. Yes, you'd be happy to be more. But if that you truly care for him, then you'll know to let him know that you dont mind staying friends. Coming from the receiving end of confessions, it always helped when that the person made it clear to me that i was allowed to reject them, that i was allowed to not reciprocate their feelings because they care about me as a person aswell as a romantic interest. And being on the giving end of a confession, it helped people feel better rejecting Me or asking for more time, patience, etc. i know that this might not help but yeah, i hope the best for you !! im rooting for you guys !! feel free to dm me if that ye wna talk abt it more, or just add an anon tag ! /nf. /lh.
