Question Posted Thursday April 14 2005, 11:15 pm

I have a friend who is a boy. We have been friends for along time and this year I can tell he is starting to like me a lot more then as just a friend. I like him as more then just a friend too and my BFF says she can tell that we like each other. I am afraid to bring it up and so it he, because we are afraid we might ruin our friendship. Could stay friends if we broke up? Should we take the plunge? Like this morning when me teacher was handing out scrach paper for the cst's She said we could use it for anything, drawings, doodels, notes, or even love leders. I saw him looking at me when she said this and I was looking at him too. I really don't know what to do!!!

i'm not sure this is a good idea, i don't know you and your friend so i don't know what your like. if you do go out... something will go wrong and it is likely (but not definite) you will break up... as i said i don't know you and so don't know if you will forgive and forget easily. but whats for definite as you will both remember what it was like when you were friends 4for you went out. if you do go out theres no going back so i think you should consider this before doing anything...
personal experience: i found i enjoyed myself with my friend a lot more then when and after we had told each other how we felt about each other! after all you can flirt and be extra close with them when your not together... only if you don't want something serious though!! Good Luck! Make the decision yourself... it is your life!

You can still stay friends after you break up, my 2 friends...were friends in 7th grade...went out in 8th grade and broke up early november this year and they are still friends...make the 1st move and ask him out, yes I know it's risky losing a friend after going out and all...I can see your point there...bc I feel like I am in the same bubble where I am scared to go out with one of my friends because I am so close and I don't want to destroy the friendship, just do what you feel is right, if your scared. If you do happen to go out just explain to him on how much you care about him and all..you don't want to loose him as a BFF after loosing him as a BF...can see what I am saying?

-need anything else feel free to drop one in-

I think you should ask him out on a date, it seems like he likes you. Just ask him as a friend to the cinema and see how it goes from there, And if you get stuck for things to talk about just talk about anything you can think of. You will have a great time, but if he says no to the date then its problem just because he likes you as a friend, which isnt his or your fault.

Look at it like this. When you go to find a husband one of these days what are you looking for? A best friend! So, I think it is worth a shot. Can you remain friends? Sure you can. If you decide it doesn't work romantically, you talk about it and move on. BEFORE one or the other of you get's hurt. Be honest and talk a lot and things will work out either way you go.

Honestly there is no real answer. You have to think about what you must do. No one can really tell you what to do about this. There is always a possibility that you guys might stay together, might break up, and might even become enemies after you guys break up. You should honestly just think about this from your heart. Is it worth it by taking a chance and seeing if you guys can really work out? Or is it much better by trying to decide to be friends instead. You honestly just need to think about things. Because who knows....he might have feelings for you as well. I hope everything works out for you and hope for the best. Please give me feedback on how everything goes whatever you decide.

So you like your best friend. This is just a typical problem with a typical decision you will have to make, if you get together, and break-up later, its possible to become friends again after the break-up, but it won't be right after. Getting over people that you are in love with and whom you've known for a long time takes a long period of time to restart your friendship. If you really like him, go for it, don't worry about what will happen later, it will come and you will get through the tough times. If you are the one thats broken up with, they won't really be up for being your friend right away because they are sad. So you can still remain friends after if it doesn't work out, but it will take time, lots of time. So go ahead and don't let this chance blow away, be with him, you and your friends and him know you two have to come together, good luck.
