Have you ever developed feelings for a friend? I have an older friend (a great deal older) who is always there for me to chat about whatever I need. Be parenting stuff, life stuff. Anything. I mean the kind of friend that you can be open and honest about everything to. I’ve spoken about sperm donation, relationship breakdown, holidays, bad days, life stuff and can completely rely on him to be there and listen and give advise if I need it. We’ve known each other a very long time 7 years at least that we’ve had that friendship and known of him for years before that.
I have found myself daydreaming about him sexually. I find myself thinking about sexual stuff with him in it. I’m feeling so lost. I have this connection I feel towards him. I’m so lost if this is something I should explore or pretend it’s not there. I know I need to get this out of my system. Be that finding away fo forget it or acting on it.
What would you do?
Edited to add: he has given off signs of being interested however I’ve not reciprocated them.

Why not explore it? Youve known him lkng enough to know him well and that youre compatible, it could work, if hes interested.
This was me with my best friend who was a best friend for 4 years plus friendship further then that. Weve been together 10 years now.
I got to the point where I didn't even think I could continue a friendship because I began seeing him so much more then that. I think if you are at the point where you can't be friends and can risk ruining a friendship to see if it can go further, then go for it.
If it’s the age thing too, don’t worry 😊
I’ve got 16 years difference between hubby and I and we are great together.
Explore the feelings, see what happens. He could possibly feel like he has no chance with you so all he needs is a little encouragement 😊
