While the feeling is tempting, it can get exasperating soon enough. Nikita D’silva gives you the lowdown on how to tackle the situation.
He’s your confidante and your voice of reason. He cracks a joke; you snigger and smack the back of his head. You know you can count on him and he’s the only one who can uplift your spirits. And in one Eureka moment, you realise you’ve not only fallen for him, but also run the risk of ruining the friendship because he may not see you the same way. Having feelings for your best friend can be maddening! The frustration of not being able to embrace your emotions only makes it worse. “You have to be careful and analytical in such situations.

We’re here to help. Read on to explore a four-point plan you can follow.
