Is it normal to be in love with your friends?

Depends.It depends

Yes—loving your friends is normal, whether you mean deep platonic love or romantic feelings. If you’re romantically in love with more than one friend, that can happen too; what matters is how you handle it.

People can feel deep love for their friends without wanting to date them. And sometimes friendship feelings turn romantic—or you develop feelings for more than one friend. You’re not doing anything wrong just by feeling it.

If you’re thinking about acting on those feelings, take a moment to consider what you want and how it might affect the friendship. Be honest without pressuring anyone, and respect their answer and any boundaries in place.
