In this week's episode we discuss the universally human and hurts-so-good phenomenon of pining after someone who is already our friend.  We have gotten several different questions on this topic and WE GET IT being serial-friend-crushers ourselves.  We do our best to get to all of it in this episode including:

1. Should I tell my friend I have a crush on them?  If so, how?  Is it bad not to tell them?

2. Is there a way to tell if my friend is also crushing on me?

3. Why do I keep getting crushes on my friends in the first place?

4. Will I survive/will my friendship survive if the crush is not reciprocated?

As always we include tales of our own foibles, and use a relationship anarchy approach to interrogate the idea that romantic love is any better or more valuable than platonic devotion.
