I sent flowers to my best friend, anonymously (sopuli.xyz)

She means the world to me, I just want her to be happy. I don't know if she'll realize they're from me.

Edit: okay, I let her know it was me

Edit to add context: I do like her more than as a friend, I know she doesn't and that's why I did it anonymously.

I don't want her to feel pressured, just cared for. We have been good friends for a long time, I think my feelings can become an obstacle for our friendship and I hate that.

I wish I didn't feel this way.

Update: we're not friends anymore

Its a nice gesture, but wouldn't it mean so much more to her knowing they came from you?

Maybe. Idk if OP is like this too tho, but when I want to do something nice for someone, I don't like singling them out to make them feel uncomfortable. So I try to do nice things more covertly. I guess it sounds stupid, but that's the way my mind works. Idk.
