How do you tell someone you like them? … who is a friend???

On the one hand, many people are uncomfortable navigating the tricky terrain of a friendship that turns romantic. On the other hand, a romantic relationship with friendship at its base can be a very strong, long-lasting one, with a rare degree of trust and openness.

If you give them this freedom and are genuinely willing to accept “no,” it’s unlikely you’ll jeopardize your friendship.

As mindfully and with as much forethought and planning as is practical in the circumstances, with some room also for spontaneity. Sometimes it’s emotionally hard to commit to action. Dare greatly!

Try to build in distance from that person. And stop following your crush so closely on social media–virtual distance is critical. My helpers tell me it is possible to move from the obsession stage to the being very fond of someone stage, but not crushing on them.

The library is quite crowded during finals week and seats are not reservable. Finals are an exciting time for me with all the activity. I recommend arriving at the library early in the day, like 9:00 am, to find a spot. Check for alternative spaces here: bit.ly/FinalsSpace
