First of all, depends: if I see the fact I'm infatuated can ruin friendship, I prefer to know exactly what the other person thinks about me and if this person has similar feelings (infatuation too, or more). There are persons who are not suspicious at all when it comes to these things, so when you let them know or when they understand, they become upset and change perspectives and sometimes this can ruin the friendship completely, since they don't want to keep on seeing you as they used to. They become cold or they even try to avoid any contact with you, or they simply keep the relation on a more superficial level for fear of becoming too deeply involved. I think sometimes, also depending on the person you're talking about, it's really important to know others' feelings to not risk to ruin a precious friendship.
