Have you ever had a genuine friendship with a woman, and overtime began to develop feelings? And I’m not really necessarily talking about in love with this person, but feelings more than a friend would have.
If so, what did you do with those feelings? Did you confess them or keep it to yourself? Did you end up dating this person or did you stay silent?
Also curious; looking back, do you feel like you showed signs of having feelings for this person? And if you eventually told them, did they say it was obvious?
I’m just curious about how all of that would unfold from a man’s perspective.

I told her. Been married almost 20 years now.
A couple times, actually. Each time I asked them out. Neither of them said yes. Both were kind in their rejections.
I thought about it and ultimately decided it wasn’t worth risking the friendship so I didn’t say anything.
It was the right choice.
What do you mean by “friend”?
In group 1… a bunch. Some said yes. Got rejected too… a few made an issue with the group about it but nothing lasted for more than a few weeks. Everything got back to normal.
In group 2: At least two… I think two (I’ve been married for 25 years). There was one girl that I considered myself strong friends with and I asked her out. She very politely said no and nothing changed.
In group 3: Never. I had two good FWB and I never wanted to screw that up. I probably could have seen myself marrying one.
Twice. Both were mutual, both wound up as three year relationships.
Didn’t intend on either turning into anything. Both were just like “hey this persons cool” that kinda naturally evolved into “hey this person is cool, and naked infront of me”.
I wouldn’t be friends with someone if I had hidden feelings for them, it’s weird.
Very poorly
I was early 20’s.. she didn’t reciprocate but we had known each other for years before so I made the mistake of still hanging around as friends, but hoping she would come round..
Don’t do this people
Hasn’t happened since middle school lol, I don’t befriend women I’m attracted to or want, I make my intentions pretty clear from the get go.
Incorrectly
