I have been best friends with a girl for about 3 years now and we are freshmen in college. (both 18) I have been in liked her a lot ever since i met her and have really started to love her over the last year. I was always to scared to tell her in high school but i kind of made it aware that i liked her and she always knew but said nothing to me about it really. Well now i have pretty much told her that i am in love with her and that she is all i think about, only problem is she has had a boyfriend for a year and a half now who she says she is in love with. He is 23 and in the army. When i told her how much i love her though, she told me that in highschool she felt the same way but was too scared to ruin our friendship. She says that now the timing is all wrong but that if there was a way we could be together it would be perfect but she always says to me that we never know what could happen in the future. So pretty much she is telling me that she loves me but is still to scared of what could go wrong. Do you think she does love me and really does want to be with me but is too scared? What should i do? I'm scared i will never be able to get over her after all of this if it never works out, and being just "friends" is so hard for me. Please help!
