friendship, obsessions and love?

I've had obsessions on certain people before at random and I reacted to them just as I do to any other of my special interests. I would spend as much time around that person as possible and pretend to be them as well as talk about them constantly. I'm also certain I'm not straight- possibly gay- but most likely asexual. I am very close friends with a girl I've known for four years who has undiagnosed aspergers and we started jokingly talking about living together because no one else would live with us and we would make pretty balanced parents. We've almost worked out everything about this idea and it is getting interesting. But my point is something I thought about today, how do you tell the difference between close friendship and love. The way I am always talking about my friend and the things we talk about all fit into the typical categories of a relationship. I am getting pretty confused and I easily get stressed about these situations. Has anyone else had issues with this?

You will know what love is when it is not reciprocated and you notice it.

Thats the kindest way I can put it.

Hey Pixie.

You can have platonic love in a friendship. Romantic love, on the other hand, is different. Do you have feelings for your friend to the point where you want to be her girlfriend? Since the both of you were joking about living together, it's a bit difficult to gauge what you really want...a friendship or a dating relationship.
