I've had personal experience in both revealing my feelings, and keeping them to myself for fear of ruining the friendship. I can tell you without any doubt I feel much better about revealing my feelings. In the cases where I didn't do so, I regretted it for a while, and still wonder 'what if?'. In the other cases, where she didn't feel the same, I know I did all I knew I could at the time, and have no regrets that it didn't go my way (disappointment of course, but no regret).
In none of those cases did I lose the friendship, and in most of those cases the friendship became
stronger. That could just be because of the type of girls I'm attracted to, and the way I form strong connections, but whatever the case, nothing was ever lost by revealing my feelings.
