I've known this girl for almost 10 years. We met in middle school (we're both in uni now). We've always been very good friends. For a while, I had a crush on her, and a couple of years ago we both admitted to having had crushes on each other in the past. At that point I didn't have feelings for her anymore though.
But over the past few months we started talking more than before, we now text pretty much daily now, and those feelings I had for her have returned. I think about her all the time. Now I'm just scared that I am too late and that she has already moved on. I really want to tell her how I feel, but I'm obviously afraid that it would ruin our friendship (or at least make it awkward) if she doesn't feel the same way. I wouldn't want to lose my best friend.. I keep thinking about how I would go about telling her, but nothing seems right. I feel like I am overthinking it a lot.
Has anyone had a similar experience and actually confessed to their crush? If so, how did it affect you guys?
