do i or do i fuck off?

2/6: "Here's the most heartfelt thing I've ever said to you: I've loved you as long as we've known each other, not like bff's "love" and not like goofy ass "friends love each other" love, more like the real thing.... You've been one of the best friends I've ever had, we've both been able to open up to one another, and I've felt a mutual comfort between us since always! The fact that you gave me a REAL, strong, and honest friendship over the past 8 years is why I've had such a tough time ever admitting this to you, because I know admitting something like this can only come off as cringey and complicated.... idk any way around that i guess but I'm now seeing that bottled up emotions are a waste of time. That said, I'm at a point in life where I need you to know, no matter what happens: I love you, [girl], and while I feel like I've never said it adequately let me say it now: when I saw you everyday you were every single highlight and since we've gone our separate ways you've occupied every one of my favorite memories!"

3/6: You've brought me peace in times of chaos , you've connected and laughed with me in times of happiness, and you've always absolutely stunned me every time I've looked at you.

4/6: Let me talk about the past for a moment. My single biggest regret is lying to you about how I felt. Do you remember the day in high school when you were texting me and you said something along the lines of "I just really need to know if you like me or not?" I was nervous as fuuuuck, and I lied to you that night and told you that I had felt something before but not consistently...the truth is that you've dazzled me from day one! I regret my response that night soooo much. I don't know if anything would have been different, at all, but I desperately wish I had told you the truth then and there. Girl you've been blowing my mind since 2009.

Do it. Closure is good and healthy

5/6: I don't really have any expectations from telling you all of this. I guess what I really need, and the subconscious fuel for me writing all this, is some sense of personal closure. It's unfair for me to expect ANYTHING as I know you've been in a relationship for many years now. Maybe in a way it's actually really fucking selfish of me to even think of putting you in the scenario I'm now placing you in, and if that's the case I really truly am sorry, but [girl] I needed you to know my heart 100%, for once. I've only been giving you 90% for years, because despite my feelings I've always felt some sort of bonded connection between us, the sort of thing that fuels a true lengthy friendship, and I was scared of losing that. I still am but I have to face that fear. Let me say that I didn't just come to you in hard times because I felt something for you, I did that because I felt comfortable doing so. I'm well aware of how this admission could, can, and for sure WILL change all of that....like there's nothing pretty about my approach to this lmao i'm kinda just winging it one paragraph at a time

6/6: I don't know what else to say and I've probably already written way too much (something I seem to be great at lol)...all I can do is spill out the rest of my heart. For years after high school I was surrounded by beautiful sorority girls, and after that, in [city], I've met some amazing women in the same field as me, but despite all of them you were ALWAYS the human dominating my mind! None of them were ever good enough, and deep down knowing how I felt about you, I didn't even give most of them the time of day. I couldn't fully connect with any of them because I felt I never truly connected with you on the level I should have! Reality is that you stood out to me from the very first time I laid eyes on you. You're damn near perfect in my mind and I just need you to KNOW that for once!!! even though I'm sure it will change everything between us forever. I've already accepted the likely outcome of this, but the message felt too strong to not finally deliver. Maybe we'll remain friends, maybe not, regardless of the outcome it only seemed fair for both us that I confess all of this lovey dovey nonsense to you after 8 years of being friends. It had to happen at some point and for reasons I legitimately can't even explain to myself, now seemed like the right time!

i was thinking that anon. If I do it's for my own mental health. I just don't wanna come across as selfish or whatever. I think it might be something I need but i wanna approach it well because this chick has been awesome, and while I am ready to lose that now, I still want it to be amicable at least

>>36863823
seems good to me. it doesn't come across as creepy or anything either. might be a bit long though

>>36863960
good to know, thanks anon. we've written considerably lengthy messages to each other before so it wouldn't be too out of place for being long

>>36864025
i see. well you should go for it!
here's a list of scenarios that might come form your message:
>omg i always loved you too
dumps boyfriend or tries to cheat with you
very unlikely
>i really like you too but i have a boyf now

>i used to really like you too but i've moved on

>i understand but im not into you

>omg creep!!!
very unlikely

prepare yourself for a variation of one of these messages. i dont really know her but im assuming she wont be super freaked out considering your current relationship with her

>>36864236
>>i really like you too but i have a boyf now
>>i used to really like you too but i've moved on
both of these seem suuuuuper likely to me. Not great but not terrible either way and we'll probably stay friends. If she felt the same way right now I think it would have come up and she knows me too well to suddenly think I'm a creep lol

>>36864236
>>i understand but im not into you
skimmed over that one but it's pretty likely too, and I think if that's the case she'd express it in a non-hurtful way. it would suck a little bit and we probably wouldn't talk for a while but no matter what I'll get closure from this and I really need that after all this time

>>36864279
I agree. Just remember the world won't end anon. Like you said, you'll fee better afterwards. let me know how it goes.
best of luck!

>>36864454
my spelling is horrific right now!

OP. Don't do it over text. Just don't
