I falling in love with my best friend even more each day. He knows I love him, but we just friends right now. I wanted to keep it like that, but I want to increase the bond a little, without the both of us feeling akward.

Is there any way we can increase our friendship a little bit, without feeling akward for the wrong reasons?

Welcome to the forum. Well you either can be friends or you can take action on your "falling in love." You can't have it both ways.

Hi Madeline

Yes, you can't help your feelings, but you can decide whether or not to act on them.

What do you mean by 'increase our friendship a little bit'?
I'm not sure that it could be possible to just become closer friends if you are falling for him.

Is it possible that he is falling for you, too?

I guess I feel it is quite possible to love a friend, I don't see them as one or the other situations. So I think it is quite fine and natural to keep strengthening the bonds whether or not it ends up with you dating or not.

So spend more time together, do things which are thoughtful and emotion-sharing. See romantic movies. Go to museums where you talk about the sculptures and artworks. Go for long walks in the woods. Talk, talk, talk.
