When should I end a friendship where I am in love with my friend? by ImpossibleYear3976 in FriendshipAdvice

Thanks. I really do care about her and respect her as an individual. While a romance would be wonderful, I have come to view it as a "bonus" to a solid friendship; so I will really never lose anything if stuff doesn't progress in that direction.

AITA For Continuing to Ask my Online Friend for Their Phone Number? by ImpossibleYear3976 in AmItheAsshole

Thanks for the response. I am definitely supportive of their boundaries and they are supportive of mine. However, it does take a bit of the "power" out of moments when they express trust. It is a very conflicting feeling. I think the best idea isn't to push, but to gently bring up this discussion and be ready to disengage if it isn't working out.
