I sent flowers to my best friend, anonymously (sopuli.xyz)

She means the world to me, I just want her to be happy. I don't know if she'll realize they're from me.

Edit: okay, I let her know it was me

Edit to add context: I do like her more than as a friend, I know she doesn't and that's why I did it anonymously.

I don't want her to feel pressured, just cared for. We have been good friends for a long time, I think my feelings can become an obstacle for our friendship and I hate that.

I wish I didn't feel this way.

Update: we're not friends anymore

Unfortunate, but without these risks we don't progress.

Did she not like the flowers, or is the good a condition of something else?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It was fine, she didn't say she liked them but she said thank you

Was your goal of making her happy successful?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

She was probably happier not knowing it was me, but then I told her because of good points other people made.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Maybe she's scared, if you two are good friends then complications like evolving feelings could be an uncomfortable thing for her, its lovely that you sent her flowers to make her happy. Did you tell her about your real feelings?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

She knows, I don't need anything to evolve, in fact I would rather not feel anything either because I don't want to have anything with anyone now.
