Sorry to start another thread but something specific about "not wanting to ruin friendships"
It's the biggest pile of bollocks cop-out excuses for not making a move on someone ever.
If the friendship's important to you both then the thing'll survive something as minor as one saying they fancy the other.
If the friendship doesn't survive that it wasn't that important a friendship and you'll move on and both make new friends in the future.
No friendship worth keeping has ever been ruined by one person telling the other they fancy them.
