A friendly dilemma...
I realize I'm turning into a blog-whore but it's a kinda stable footing for me at the moment. Anyway, let's suppose Pruvaloo has a friend. Let's suppose this friend is a boy, and his name is 'Friend A'. Let's also suppose that Pruvaloo has another friend. This friend is a girl, and her name is 'Friend B'. Now, this is the problem:
'Friend A' and 'Friend B' are very close friends with each other, however, 'Friend A' wants there to be more to it than that. He knows there is a friendly affection between himself and 'Friend B', but he doesn't know if she feels the same way about him.
He is also scared that if he tells her, it will wreck their friendship, or at the least, things won't be able to go back to how they were. And he would rather have 'Friend B' as a friend than risk loosing her. But if he doesn't tell her how he's feeling he sure as hell won't have any chance of going out with her.
So what does 'Friend A' do? Keep suffering in silence, dreading the day that 'Friend B' introduces a new boyfriend.
Does he tell 'Friend B' how he feels and risk having to deal with the feeling of rejection - and just to make things more complicated lets throw in a whole load of self confidence issues on the side, so that those feelings of rejection would just add to the levels of depression he is already feeling - or worse maybe loosing her as the close friend that she is?
Does he wait and hope that someday 'Friend B' will approach him and say "Hey, 'Friend A', erm, I've liked you for so long, do you erm, y'know, wanna go out with me sometime?"
Pruvaloo isn't going to get involved, not just yet. Right now he's just going to sit back and observe, but anyone had a similar problem? Anyone had to tell one of their friends the same thing that 'Friend A' wants to tell 'Friend B'?

Woulda, shoulda, coulda....its a killer, and the whole he who dares, wins thing is true. On the other hand though, if you don't try to win, you can't loose out as bad.
