Hey. I've been friends with a guy from school since as long as I can remember, and when we left school at sixteen we went to the same Sixth Form for two years. We've just finished those years and are awaiting our exam results. Anyway, when we started sixth form we became closer, and at around last Christmas we became closer still. Our relationship has developed into an amazing best-friend friendship, he's someone I'd trust with anything.
However, I have a problem. I know this is cliche and sounds corny, but I find myself attracted to him as more than a friend. We see each other every single day when it's possible. He makes me laugh, and vice versa. We playfight. We go places together, and are always having fun. We're always hugging and touching each other, and when I see him I can't help the stupid grin that appears on my face. The reason why I haven't told him how I feel is because he's going to a University that's quite a way away in September. One, I don't want to ruin these last precious weeks we have together by making them akward. Two, I don't want him to feel limited when he's away, like he can't go out with anyone else for fear of me finding out and hurting my feelings. I care for him so much, but I don't want to hurt him or myself. Should I get over it? Should I talk to him about it?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Then ask the person how they feel once you get this cleared up you'll feel a lot better.

I'm sure it won't make things akward, it could make them alot better! If things work out, tell him exactly what you said "I don't want him to feel limited when he's away", and let him decide on what he wants to do. But really, you should talk to him! Goodluck!! :D [ hotcherry's advice column | Ask hotcherry A Question ]
