For the record, the consensus is not to tell. An overwhelming majority concede that it's best to move on in your own time without causing temporary or permanent trauma to the friendship. After all, what hurts more: losing your best friend, or missing out on the chance they'll feel the same?

Many times, actually, in all sorts of phrasing. I felt particularly grateful for the rhetoric that resonated with my own. But, like many, I took most comfort in believing my situation was different.

This is a contingency plan, giving you a taste of the loss that could ensue if your feelings are not reciprocated. Firstly, a “best friend” is hard to come by and harder to replace. If your feelings have started to encroach on your ability to remain friends and not be disappointed by lulls in communication or unmet expectations, then it's a good sign you're on the way to telling. For others, the possibility of jeopardizing your friendship is simply too much to bear. The litmus test for this balancing act comes down to your honest expectation of their response. So you've told your best friend you love them; how will they react? You should have a reasonable expectation of what happens next. If, deep down, you don't believe they feel the same (maybe they're in a serious relationship or maybe they've never made an advance), then the balance may lean toward not telling. Don't bring unnecessary pain to the friendship if you can move on from your feelings in time. Again, if there's a slice of doubt of whether to tell, it's a stop sign. Now, if you've passed health check one and two, you know your love is genuine and the friendship will be unsuccessful anyway given your feelings, it's time to tell. We live in a fast-paced world crammed with disposable mating, digital dating and medicated fixes. We don't like to feel pain and we're wired to think quick. It's likely why our emotions feel like a moving target; some stay grounded, others are fleeting and some poke their head from time to time. If for no other reason than to slow it all down to be sure, assess your motives before throwing "love" around like confetti and "best friends" around like they're replicable. How to tell your best friend you love them? Well, that is a whole other story.
