Burning Issue 03: From Bet to Love: Should I Tell Her the Truth?

Hi Sliq, this is my burning issue:

I’m 25, and my girlfriend and I have been dating for six months now. But the problem is how it all started. It was a bet with my boys. You see, she’s one of those distant, independent women that most guys are too afraid to approach. So, to prove I was the man, I took on the bet to ask her out, with the “relationship” meant to last for six months.

But here’s the twist: along the way, I actually fell for her. She’s amazing, strong, and real—everything I never expected. Now, I’m caught up in a mess. Should I tell her the truth about how this all started as a game? But if I do, won’t she break up with me for good?

I don’t want to lose her, but I feel like the guilt is eating me alive. What should I do, Sliq?
