All my friends seem to have settled down and seem genuinely happy. I want what they have, but I haven’t found the right girl yet.
A couple of weeks ago I started having dreams about my best friend’s partner. I’d imagined us going on dates together and her meeting my family.
I’ve considered messaging this girl and letting her know how I feel.

I feel there’s a small chance she could feel the same. She’s always really friendly and seems interested in what I’ve been up to.
Is this a crazy idea?

Plus, you may be reading too much into her kindness. She is probably being friendly because she knows how close you and her boyfriend are.
