AITA I (m18) have a major crush on my Friend (f19) and I plan on never telling her

As stated above I have a major crush on my friend.

We met in a Hospital when we both weren’t in the best place mentally and she was always there for me.

That kinda made me develop a crush.

He thinks she might have a crush on him too.

Through talking I found out she isn’t interested in a relationship at all.

Though on the other hand she acts very flirty with me and no one else in the friend group so much they all say we act like an old married couple.

Something that does complicate things is, she has Borderline so I never really know where I stand with her.

So I do feel like she should know but on the other hand I don’t want to risk the Friendship. So AITA?

That’s a tough one. I understand not wanting to risk the friendship, but perhaps they’re meant to be more than friends.
