hey there, some of you know that I answered a LOT of questions in this site. My friend doesnt have internet in her house so she asked me to ask for your opinion.
She likes her best guy friend, a lot, she cant stop thinking about him and she always gets upset when hes around other girls. I know he considers her as his sister, HE TOLD ME!
What she wants to do is let him realise she likes him more than a friend but I told her it would screw up everything! things would get awkward and stuff. So what she's asking is, should she tell him? Personally I dont think she should.
And she also asked why he hangs out and fools around with other girls instead of her?
I told her because you dont have the same interests and he thinks youre too calm (he told me). So do you agree with me or do you have another opinion?
Dear Teenage Cupid,
I absolutely agree with you. After all, why wouldn't I? Believe it or not, you seem to be holding most of the power here. You seem like a wonderful, kind, caring friend because a lot of girls would push the two together just to see the drama unfold! You already know that he just doesn't feel that way about her. I would tell her. It will sting a little but it will keep her from making a fool out of herself. By the way, the fact that he finds her a little too "calm", kind of says that he likes the drama a bit and if she did tell him she liked him, he would be inclined to draw it out, thereby hurting her even more. It's better that it comes from a friend who cares about her feelings. She may take it out on you in the beginning, but don't be too hard on her. That's just the sting talking. After you tell her, let her wrap her brain around it for a little while and then be there for her. If she continues to show interest in this guy, well then, you've done your part.

(Rating: 5) thank you, you're making me blush! Anyway, I told her the same thing! But she still wants other peoples opinion. sighs* , of course Ill always be there for her no matter what she does and be supportive even if what shes doing is wrong.
