My characters are best friends who are falling for each other, but I'm finding that even though their personality's are very different, it's difficult to write the subtle chemistry between them, especially since it is in the POV of one of the characters. Any tips?

Limited POV is actually often better for stories that involve romance because they make it easier for the reader to “feel” things like the character would, so I’m curious as to what could be causing your trouble with it.

Creating Romantic Feelings Between Characters might help! It should have been mentioned in that link that the criteria should exist in some basic form for friendship, but romance is seen as a step toward a different kind of intimacy. 

Different Ways Characters Can Show Love is more likely to solve your POV issue. Since you’re using a limited POV, you can really go to town with character thought and individual perspective, but that definitely requires knowing how different personalities and histories interact. As addressed in the link, most ways of showing/understanding affection come from our upbringing but you don’t have to have two identical characters for it to work (as long as they both understand how the other person works).

It’s not rare for people to develop feelings for friends, but it’s often hard to pin down early on and it can get confusing. A character may just find that they really like spending time with someone more, or they can realize they feel a little anxious about something that used to not make them anxious. An example of this is accidental touches. You can bump into a friend and get over it pretty quickly, but if you have budding feelings for someone then you might be a little more stunned by it. 

Budding relationships can also be shown through the small things that a character notices. With limited POV, you can rely on subtleties of thought, like noticing a new perfume and liking it (but perhaps not saying anything) or a new haircut, or maybe the character gets more self-conscious of how they look and act in front of the other person. There may be some subconscious mirroring of body language.

With limited POV, you can also have fun with misconception. If the other character blushes, the narrator doesn’t have to realize the exact cause, especially if the other character comes up with a good reason for it. Feeling warm? Maybe they’re wearing one extra layer of clothing. Want to dress up? Maybe it’s just a newfound care for appearance. Play with uncertainty! 

Good luck with your romance!

My favorite game was probably Clone Wars Adventures, I used to look foreword to it when I got off of school. I used to love that game

Does anyone remember Pixie Hollow?? Where you could make your own fairy and live in the Tinkerbell world?? I was obsessed with Tinkerbell when I was little, but now the website is closed… just like club penguin. What was your guy’s favorite game when you were a kid? 🤔
