Before you decide on what you will do you will have to decide on what is more important to you. Is... your feelings for him stronger than... your fear of being rejected.... would you rather not loose him as a friend... or would you rather be his gilrfriend...? Those are just example questions you should consider. If you decide that you cannot risk your friendship by making the first move and making it clear that you like him you might want to get a friend to encourage him to ask you out... and if he likes you back he defenitely will. Of course, thats risky because he may not do it even if he likes you for the same reasons you don't do it. Anyway, if you decide your feelings for him are a lot stronger then I suggest you communicate your feelings for him and ask him for a chance to see if a relationship would work out. If he's afraid of loosing you as a friend try to send him the message that you want to be friends no matter what.
Good luck! ~Blessed Be... [ Cath's advice column | Ask Cath A Question ]

I fell head over heels for my best friend and everyone, including my family, thought we would make the perfect couple. I just laughed and shrugged it off for a while, but I started to realize that I did have a crush on him. We used to be able to talk about our relationship problems and everything but after a while I started getting so jealous if he would even mention another girl's name. I finally came out and told him that I liked him in a more-than-friends way and after a while, he confessed the same to me. We talked a while and even kissed a few times, but it has gone no farther than that. We realized that for now, it's best to just be friends and we're still best friends. He's still number 1 to me and he always will be, no matter what kind of weird situation comes up. I think you should go for him and if you two decide that it's just too weird and it's not going to work, you will still be best friends. Good luck!

PinkPrincess42 answered Thursday February 3 2005, 8:29 pm: If your "madly in love with him" you need ask him how he feels about you. You need to ask him if he thinks it would mess up the friend relationship you are currently in if you two got involved in a boyfriend/girlfriend thing. He may feel the same way about you as you feel about him. Its really hard to say; My boyfriend and I were really good friends before we started going out, and it has only been better since we have been together. We have been together for 3 years, and rarely have problems. He is still my best friend and I love him to death. You just need to tell him how you feel about him and see what direction he thinks it should go! You gotta keep me updated on this one!

lilchica answered Thursday February 3 2005, 7:59 pm: you need to ask him if he likes you as just a friend or more cuz if you beat around the bush he may get the wrong idea or you may hurt him. [ lilchica's advice column | Ask lilchica A Question ]
orangebabi0669 answered Thursday February 3 2005, 7:37 pm: i've always heard the saying friends make the best of lovers. Maybe you should talk to him about it ask him how he feels and stuff. Talking about it always helps. Just go with your feelings and your heart things always turn out in the end. [ orangebabi0669's advice column | Ask orangebabi0669 A Question ]
lildiamyn_69 answered Thursday February 3 2005, 7:34 pm: :) This one is kinda easy. If you really like this boy, and you're really cool friends, especially for a long time, then your best thing would be to just stay friends. Most people say that the best relationships start out as friends, but so many things come with it like jealousy, that if you get mad with each other, your relationship and friendship might be lost.
So, you can tell him ho you feel if it's really bothering you, but let him know that you really don't wanna hook up. Hope I helped you some:D
