How many times it has happened that you have fallen in love with your best friend but never had the courage or the luck to turn it into a relationship you desired? Many go through this phase and it reminds me of the famous story by Eric Seigal, Doctors.
This novel was on two friends, who grew up together and shared the tiniest secrets imaginable.
Such was their friendship that they could tell what the other person was feeling without having to express.
Such was their friendship that they could not do without seeing each other.
But they stoically denied to be in love with each other.
They went around and dated others only to realize that something was missing.
It was only towards the middle part of their lives when they realized the true love that they had for each other and eventually married.
You see this was a novel but the gist of the story is commonly seen in many lives.
Some marry, some don't, and some remain bitter for falling in love with their best friend and not being reciprocated about it.
How to deal with it? If your love is true and you have the patience to convince the girl or boy about your love, then there is a possibility of acceptance.
No, I am not saying this out of speculation.
I am saying this because I know of a couple, where the guy proposed to the girl 17 times till she agreed to marry him, not out of pressure but out of realization of her true love towards him.
