i feel bad for having feelings for my guy friend because he’s literally an angel but his family would never let him marry outside his race and that really sucks. he’s such a special person to me

Does he like you too and does he share those same values as his family or is it more religious or cultural?

im not sure if he likes me in that way, i highly doubt it. his family is very very strict so its a very cultural thing. i cant be too specific about details since hes on this forum but his family are from a culture that believes you marry into the same and continue the tradition. i dont think he’d get past or be willing to break away from his family and id never ask that of him either

Well you got two options from what I’m hearing, you can confess and just say I know what your culture is like but I needed this to move on and maybe see if he says anything back or just try and move on without it. Some people cannot handle being friends after a confession tho but I know sometimes it’s the only way to move on. I’m sorry that it prolly can’t workout between yall

im bringing it to therapy for sure. it’s just a puppy crush right now, but i could see myself falling in love with him. i think my biggest worry if that even if im okay being friends post confession would be? he’s very reserved so idk. i feel like id lose a big part of our friendship

Definitely talk to your therapist before making any moves but I’d wait until I was sure it was more than a puppy crush as well but I’m sure you were planning that. Would you be able to move on if you didn’t tell him or would it constantly linger in your head? You don’t need to tell him if you don’t want to but if it will bring you peace I personally would take the shot and just mention you understand you’ll only ever be friends and you’re only telling him to move on, he still may not take it wel

But you have a better chance, I hope this goes down well, do you guys share friends at all?

i think it’d linger for awhile but i’m used to not really being the choice for someone (not pity partying but it’s just been my experience). either way i don’t think ill find the strength to tell him
