u know when u live in a place 6000 miles away from the one u lived for 17 years u dont get easily attracted to the girls that live here (place where i live now) i mean they are HOT its just not the same. see i ve known this girl (who came from the same place i came) for 1.5 years and we became friends easily but about 2 months ago somethin happened (not important to the story) that made me change the way i look at her. u know what i mean.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Are you afraid to tell her how you feel, for fear that the friendship would be compromised??
If that's the case, then I've run into that situation a few times. Sometimes, I just held it in for fear that she couldn't handle it,and the feelings subsided(eventually) other times, my feelings were just so strong for her that I had to tell her. Sometimes it works out, where you become more than friends, sometimes, you remain friends, other times unfortunately, things can fall apart.
How well does she deal with adversity? That's a good gauge to telling if she could handle something like that.
And I'm going to disregard the "teaching Shakespeare" comment, smartass
