In this week's episode we discuss the universally human and hurts-so-good phenomenon of pining after someone who is already our friend. We have gotten several different questions on this topic and WE GET IT being serial-friend-crushers ourselves. We do our best to get to all of it in this episode including:
1. Should I tell my friend I have a crush on them? If so, how? Is it bad not to tell them?
2. Is there a way to tell if my friend is also crushing on me?
3. Why do I keep getting crushes on my friends in the first place?
4. Will I survive/will my friendship survive if the crush is not reciprocated?
As always we include tales of our own foibles, and use a relationship anarchy approach to interrogate the idea that romantic love is any better or more valuable than platonic devotion.
