A friend of mine recently brought up a really good point.

If you are thinking of confessing to someone, (or even if you aren't,) just do it. Because the what you could gain (them liking you back) is much bigger that what they would lose if they don't like you back.(what do they even lose? Sure, it's hard to reject someone, but all they lose is a few minutes of time and the luxury of talking to you without it being awkward for a few weeks.)

I just mean the potential gains are bigger than the potential losses.

But think about it. In your attempt to make something new, you shatter something beautiful that's already there: friendship. There is a risk, especially when you're friends with this person, and don't want to spoil it.

but if you tell them, then you'll know, and you can hopefully get over it and go back to being friends

I never confessed to my crush cos they were going overseas for a year (the next year), and it just didn't feel right to tell someone especially if you aren't gonna see them for a long time

this is mostly true but still be careful because in some cases of really close friendship it could get awkward and hard to deal with, one of my closest friends confessed a crush on me and kept talking about it, which made me uncomfortable and alienated me for a while. but in most cases it should be okay and i think that it's better to confess than keep it in, good luck y'all <3

Just imagine if someone have a crush on you but you don't really into them at all, do you think they will have a big potential?

@last anon

I mean, obviously not if they know that, but the gains are still bigger than the losses.

Someone who has been my friend for years recently confessed. He said how he is in love with me and why and how he just needed to get it out. And while i dont reciprocate in that way, we have been closer since then than we were before and I know it sucks because he knows how I feel about his best friend and yet still, we are close and its wonderful.

so I did it... it's been 2 weeks and we haven't talked about it yet... I guess it was worth it to get it off my chest, but not much more than that
