My best guy friend and I are both 17 and will be seniors in HS in september. We have been friends since frosh year, and became really close last year. I know I can tell him anything and he knows he can do the same. Throughout most of our junior year, I had a crush on him. Yet, I could not tell if he felt the same about me cause of mixed signals. We flirt with each other, hug each other sometimes, and talk a lot online(we both are busy with school). A few times he's even stayed after school for no reason on days that I have my flute lesson and hung out with me. One time, he even calmed me down when I was about ready to haul off and kill one of my best friends for being a jerk to me. He's confided in me a few things and I have confided in him my most private secret. We trust each other and value each other. Yet, I can't read his mind when it comes to me.

First you need to decide which is more important - your friendship with him, or pursuing something more.
If you decide that your friendship is more important, kudos. If not, well... I disagree, but don't deny it if that's the truth. I feel that friendship is more important regardless of whether you pursue romance or not - a relationship won't last if it's not built on friendship, IMO.
Next, you need to tell him how you feel, both about him, and what you decided above. You can tell him anything, right? And he doesn't judge you or get freaked out by things you tell him, right? And you want to know how he feels about you, right? So tell him how you feel, and ask him how he feels about you. And also tell him that if he needs time to think about it, that you'll wait.

Maybe he's just trying to be a really good friend (which he's doing a good job of.) If you really want to know how he feels about you, ask him. But first ask yourself, do you really want to mess up your friendship? If you were to start dating and things ending up badly after you broke up, you could lose a really great friend.
queenbianca2004 answered Wednesday June 29 2005, 12:22 pm: Wow it sounds like your in a great position already. I am hopingthe best for you. But remeber if you guys dated think of how diffrent it would be. It could be a good diff. Well its always hard to tel him. Well I think since he is so great to talk to I think you need to tell him. Tell him everything. Who knows he might feel the same. I really hope it goes good for you because he sounds really great. I.H.I.H.
(I HOPE I HELPED)
xxurockxx answered Wednesday June 29 2005, 11:52 am: people who are best friends and then start dating ALWAYS make the best relationships...you know that you can trust the person and not get sick of them. i say tell him not to freak out if he isnt feeling the same way but you think you like him...see what he says and take it from there. he is your best friend....stuff really isnt going to change that much if he doesnt feel the same way.

lilaquidas18 answered Wednesday June 29 2005, 11:33 am: Well the next time you get online and talk to him ask him how he feels about you and tell him how you feel about him . Like you said you can tell him anything. Mayeb he feels the same way about you but he doesnt knwo if you feel the same. Even if he doesnt feel the same your not going to lose anything you guys will still be bestfriends and even if he does feel the same about it . It will make the relationship and friendship stringer cause you guys know so much about each other. So dont be afriad to let him know how you feel. And make sure you do it soon because you wouldnt want someone else to tell him they like him . Good luck. [ lilaquidas18's advice column | Ask lilaquidas18 A Question ]
