mandymae142 answered Tuesday December 14 2004, 9:23 pm: Alright well it seems like you really depend on your best friend, and he's ALWAYS there for you. 3 years lol hes been waiting for a long time. You should try dating him and see how it goes. If it doesn;t work out I know how people say that you should jsut be friends but that doesn'y always work out.....and that's just a risk you're going to have to take, but I think you should DEFFIDENTLY date him! Hes So into you!
with much love :P

Communication is the absolute key to a relationship, any relationship--friendship, courting, marriage, siblings, parents. It all needs communication. He needs to know how you feel, exactly how you feel. If you can't give him everything up front, it wouldn't have worked anyway. Him seeing you making out with a guy led him to cutting? It takes previous mental instability to do something like that. Don't even begin to blame that on yourself. Don't make a decision to appease someone else. Do it because it makes you happy. Going out with someone because they like you while you're liking someone else is going to lead to much more heartbreak than necessary. You just have to be true to yourself. Well, good luck with everything :-) [ RainbowPolkaDots's advice column | Ask RainbowPolkaDots A Question ]
stixnpix answered Tuesday December 14 2004, 8:34 pm: i think you should go with your best friend. if he loves you as much as you said and you have strong feelings for him, then it would work. i mean, i know you probably had a great relationship with your ex, but i bet your friend knows you and gets you more than your ex. he sounds like the type of friend who knows your deepest secrets and stuff like that. and if your ready to take it to the next level, you should do it. cuz i think it'll be a really and healthy relationship. hope i've helped!

dqsomthindiff answered Tuesday December 14 2004, 6:56 pm: i know this is going to sound really cliche, but follow your heart, if you have feelings for your best friend, i mean stong feelings, then you should go for it. but just to cover your self, but only if you can trust him, tell your ex your feelings, so he doesn't get to jealous.

Emily<3 answered Tuesday December 14 2004, 6:49 pm: maybe you should tell him how you feel, i know it's not easy and i know a lot of people probably tell you that about a lot of things. but it will make you and him feel SOOO much better. it's hard to try to make two people happy, but do what you think is the best. maybe you could just be friends with both of them. but never do something unless it makes you happy.
