Dating : What do I do if I like my Best Friend/Roommate?
Throwaway acct, obv. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
I, a 19-year-old female, like my best friend/roommate, who is a 19 year old trans male. I have been attracted to him for quite a few months, since halfway through the last semester of college, but it has gotten more intense since I am seeing him more often (we live in the same apartment). It hurts me to hear him talk about other people that he likes.
He was talking about who he likes and he specifically said he doesn’t like me, and this was the same day that he said that he had a sex dream about me the previous night. He is also going to be going abroad next semester, so I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to ruin our friendship as he is one of the few friends I have, but I think I am falling for him and I am terrified of letting him know, especially now that he specifically said that he does not like me.
What do I do? I need some help!
At the very least, don’t tell him while you still live together. If you don’t like him talking about who he likes, change the subject. If you want to be a good friend, then this is your burden to bear until you move out or he starts showing interest in you.
