So i just want some type of advice on this
so for so back story we have knew each other my whole life our moms are also childhood best friends and thats how i know her and the truth is that for the last year ive been falling more and more in love with her and original i thought i was just a crush but this last year i realized i was wrong. i just dont know how to deal with it, (as far as i know) she isn’t looking for a relationship and there’s other reasons one obviously being our ages and i just don’t think im the type of guy who she would go out with. Thing is that i drive myself crazy thinking about her since she is the only person i think of and when i think about her being with another guy just gives me a pit in my stomach
How can I tell her or should i even so anything i really dont want to mess up the friendship we already have. PS im also terrified rejection
All advice is appreciated, and i will answer any questions yall got thx
TL;DR Im in love with my childhood friend

You’re 16 and she’s 20, right now isn’t the right time. It’s okay to have feelings, but protecting the friendship and respecting the age gap is the best move
big emphasis on age being an issue. You are a minor and her a young adult. You will just put her in an uncomfortable position. You are on completely different stages of life and while you have very strong feelings for her, they don’t necessarily mean they are romantic. i’d recommend you continue exploring the friendship with her and understanding what your feelings mean before creating an awkward situation
You don’t, unfortunately.
She’s still in high school and you’re an adult. It won’t end well if you do anything now, regardless of your long friendship.
Live your life as usual and if the feelings are still there by the time she’s your age now, then maybe you can try.
But absolutely don’t wait for her either. You don’t know what will happen in the next four years. Go out and make friends, do your hobbies, go to school, and don’t keep yourself stuck in the past.
