Just goes to show that being bold pays off, and even if a decision doesn’t seem to be a practical route forwards, if it means something to you then it’s the best choice you can make. Wishing both of you nothing but the good stuff.

I was in a relationship that was going nowhere and this friend and I had been talking for over a year. One day I realised that without him in my life I wouldn’t be the same person. He had become someone that I depended on, someone I could tell anything to and know – for some reason – that I could trust him with my life. So I plucked up the courage and told him how I felt. He didn’t run away. Two months later we met for the first time and as he walked across to me I felt like I’d been hit by a train the force was something else.

We’ve had a year and a half now of turbulence, separating from old lives etc but telling him how I felt was the greatest move I’ve ever made. We’re coming out the other side now and we have the kind of love that makes people look at us and think ‘why can’t I have that?’. He is my everything.

If you want to talk to someone, do it. Take that chance. Even if the result isn’t what you wanted, that is better than asking yourself the question in 10 years time…should I have?
