ever fallen in love...?

here’s a classic dilemma for you all to peruse:
I am crazy about my flatmate, its driving me insane. I am pretty sure that he might be attracted. If I tell him, I risk losing the friendship. We’d be stuck living together for another 6 months.
Throw in your 20cents as to what I should do. He’s Swedish, so Swedish guys, whats going on in your heads, seriously?

The answer to the title... I’ve always been in love it only to me a while to realize who that person was!
OAM... u have one advantage with the ’get him drunk plan’... females are physically able to drink more than males before they actually get drunk!! (or would that b the disadvantage?)
I don’t know about you, but I like scary moments; i like the trill of persueing my hearts desires... I hate the feeling of realizing that I should have done something which i haven’t; I hate ’what if’s’.
Either way, good luck girl! Just follow your gut!!

..hmmm, not sure bout getting him drunk ...
but if there is an oppurtunity - go for it! Let him know how you feel.
And yes, i have been in love too, but with the wrong kind of person!

I’ve fallen in love, and the only thing i can say is tell him and if he has a bad reaction then he’s not worth knowing *okay so i’m a lil tad bit cynical* truth is if he is your friend he will remain your friend no matter what happens.....

I fell in love once
And I keep tryin to figure out if a frontal lobotomy would be better.
After that fiasco, I have sworn off relationships and I keep men at a shot-gun’s length (you get within range of a shotgun blast... it’s your ass). Which also messes up a few other things... but what the hell. It’s better for me this way.

@oam, you should tell him if it’s really driving you crazy, if you don’t you’ll regret it. Before you do it think if you really want his friendship, if you can’t see him as a friend then you’ve nothing to lose, if on the other hand, you think you couldn’t live without him and prefer a friendship rather than nothing then take your time and let things go as they come.

Eh...i’m not really the best person to give advice on matters of the heart, but yeah you should say something. I wouldnt come across as too heavy though. Don’t declare your undying love for him or anything, or you might scare him off, but there is no harm in telling him you like him as more than a friend, but if he is not interested make it clear that your happy to stay just being friends. I would just try to stay relaxed, and not make it into a big issue.

@zaine, I can;t really guarantee that he is the WRONG type.
@Neil, thanks for the advice. I wasn’t gonna go for the ’obssesive psycho hose beast’ line anyways, but it was worth flagging up! oam.

well, I am not swedish, but I am a guy... ;-) So here is my 20 Cents... just have dinner with him some night and open a few bottles of wine.. maybe watch some tv after or listen to some music... when someone is drunk, they are more likely to share their honest feelings with you... but then again, when your drunk, you might think you like someone, even though you don’t really.. hmmm, screw my plan, sound good when I first thought about it... lol
