Sometimes it is better if we let that crush remain a crush. That caring friend remain a friend, and that nice colleague at your place of work remain a colleague. Than trying to take it a step higher and hurt each other in the process.

How many of your destiny helpers will you have feelings for before you realise that God has not put everyone in your life for you to date? I can only imagine how God feels when we come before Him asking for conviction to date someone He has put in our life to connect us to our purpose.

Someone can be very kind and nice to you as a friend, but terrible as a lover. That you have been very good friends with that person for a long time doesn't mean it must transform Into a romantic relationship. It is just lack of emotional maturity that is doing you or the both of you. Emotional intimacy usually reveal a lot about who people really are on the other side. Not all good friends are good lovers. Transforming your friendship into a relationship will lead to malice in no distant time.

Sometimes it is wisdom to keep your feelings to yourself and enjoy the beautiful friendship you have taken time to build. Trust me the feelings will pass, it always does.
