Okay, here's a question. How do you know whether or not you should try taking a friendship to another level? In a situation where you have a friend, someone who you find yourself able to get along with, and someone who you know enjoys your company, as do you, and a person who you really like, but you don't necessarily have feelings for this person. More like infatuated. Kind of going along the lines of this little chart:

Like - What every person has for another usually just by looks, don't necessarily even have to know this person. Just someone who you see and all of the sudden you like what you see.

Really Like - A bit more than like, as in, you actually have an occasional thought toward this person other than when it's just by first glance. Usually somewhere at a social, or even a friend level.

Infatuated - Not only do you think about this person, perhaps too much, but you'd give anything to go out with this person. (After infatuation, you either continue down the scale, or you turn to another path called obbsesion, which is not going to be listed.)

To Have Feelings For - Where you find that you actually have an emotional bond for a person, and when you think of going out with this person, you actually plan on taking it somewhere in the near future

Strong Feelings - Where most high schoolers think they are in love, but actually it's just blind love, or very strong feelings for someone

Love - The strongest emotion someone can have for a person.

Being "in" love - Not only having a love for someone, but the other returnes the feelings.

Now let's say you are infatuated with a specific person, and you feel that you may actually be developing feelings for this person. Do you risk taking the chanse, and going for the gold, or stay it safe and continue an already very enjoyable and secure friendship? And imagine a friendship that hasn't necessarily been very long. Like 3-4 months. And in this situation, you feel that the idea of you ever really getting anywhere with this person isn't really possible. But you do have a friendship that you want very badly to maybe become something more.

What are your opinions?
