Hey, so just to start off, I am a 16 year old male from NYC. I've been friends with this girl for less than a year but already we've become pretty close. I see a lot of myself in her so as you can imagine we have a shitload in common despite having two completely opposite upbringings. Up until recently, I've felt nothing for her but now I'm beginning to realize how intense my feelings for her are and I think they've actually always been this way, I just never acknowledged it before. The thing is...my friend is far from even considering settling down. She engages in a lot of one night stands and such, which I've never really judged her for as she uses full protection, but deep down I know it's not the best thing for her. I also know I'm not her type and I don't think I could change her lifestyle but... I really love her. What should I do? I feel like she could maybe just maybe reciprocate the feelings if I tried, she gives me short glances every now and then...please help!
