I agree but if you don't like someone who has been actively pursuing u for like 5-6 years you shouldtell them. Oh and this isn't a secretive pursuit like he didn't know and she isn't making it obvious. I think it becomes a moral dilemma at that point. Oh and them being normal friends and no feelings can I think happen only in normal situations. Its different when a person becomes a shining light in your life. He was the only person to talk and teach her and they are similar in age. It is nearly improbable that one wouldn't have any feelings to explore about the other. Please just read this book then give me ur thoughts. Because My arguments only pertain to the situations story and not anything else.
