I'm thinking about making a cd with all the songs that make me think of the guy I like (much too weak a word, believe me) and then giving it too him, but I'm not sure what message that would send. We've been best friends for about five years, and while i'm willing to risk a great friendship for what i feel would be a better relationship, I don't want him to think i have a secret shrine to him in my closet (i don't, btw). any advice on how this might make him feel or the possible consequences to my following up on it?

samanthaxdanielle answered Saturday July 9 2005, 4:36 pm: Samantha says ; Dont have the songs be crazy songs that send the message, "I HAVE NO LIFE AND I'M OBSESSED WITH YOU" .. maybe send the message of, "I like you alot and i have for a while.." something mellow.. =) but yeah just make the songs good ones and maybe have a little note with it explaining your feelings for him.
Danielle says ; I wouldnt make the CD although its a nice thought he might interpret it the wrong way, i would just write a note or tell him in person it would be clearer that way.
BuffaloGirl answered Saturday July 9 2005, 3:29 pm: well my thoughts are that you should make the cd & give it to him & say something like " Hey i know that we're really good friends but i want you to listen to this & tell me what you think of " or something like that then maybe if hes got a little bit of sense he would find the connection between him & the songs good luck x3
Sum41bizzyd504 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 3:09 pm: awww thats cute hun! LOL i think its cute... but its actually a cool idea. You should just make a mix of music that you like and maybe he might like it to and he will probably think your a sweet person for thinking of him.

Meganx3 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 1:51 pm: I think that this is a GREAT way to show him how you feel! For all you know he may have kept it to himself and secretly likes you back? Along with the CD you're giving him, write him a little note that explains why exactly you're giving him the note but also include that just because he knows how you really feel now, that you don't want to end the friendship that you guys have. Good Luck!
one_of_a_kind_chicka answered Thursday July 7 2005, 1:13 pm: I don't think that the cd is a good idea he might think a different way about this and think you do have a shrine. Just try telling him this in person.
orphans answered Thursday July 7 2005, 11:28 am: haha he wouldnt think you have a secret shrine in your closer if i were you id give him the cd and if hes doesnt like you and tells you that just be like i didnt say tht it was just a gift to a good friend...or if he likes you than you can say i like you too and maybe you can start dating...this is probably one of the smartest ideas ive ever heard giving a guy a cd and im sure hell love it [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
ash_fire07 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 2:11 am: Oooooo, sweetie guys are too stubborn to realize stuff like that...it wouldnt work, believe me. He wouldnt think twice....sorry =(. But really.....since you two are such great friends just talk to him about how you feel. You're up to risking anything, just go for it, haha.

LoLo2454 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 12:41 am: alright, since im a guy (i know it says lauren, but lauren is not here so im taking over till she returns) i think it would be a wonderful thing to give, shows how much you care for him, but if hes just a friend it might be alitte ackward to some guys, but it could also put the icing on the cake and make a great relationship,
icey0990 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 12:40 am: honestly i think it would scare him, freak him out, etc. i think its romantic and if you have a relationship with him eventually give it to him ..but not right now
there are more effective ways to get across that you like him...giving him this present is too much i think..just my opinion
hope i helped?
VanityScore answered Thursday July 7 2005, 12:26 am: That's a sweet idea... for your boyfriend. If you give this to a guy who's 'just a friend' it would probably freak him out, unless he liked you. Make sure he's feeling what you're feeling... and even then, be careful about your choices. You don't want him to think that you're obsessed with him- it'll probably scare him off.

LCyeahthatsME answered Thursday July 7 2005, 12:20 am: Hey there.
Before you go giving him a cd with a bunch of mushy songs on it...maybe you should try talking to him. afterall your words are just as strong as any of the artists. The cd might freak him out a bit, but if y'all are friends y'all have to talk all the time, so hey whats the difference...just try having a casual convorsation about the two of you...tell him you want to bring y'alls relationship to the next level...but b4 you say anything make sure you say that what your about to say should not effect y'alls friendship if he feels differently.
pimpettex answered Thursday July 7 2005, 12:19 am: Ok first of all, I wouldn't go as far as to make him a CD just yet. If he doesn't feel the same about you, this may freak him out a little and make things weird between you two. I'd just mention it to him. I know this sounds so hard to do. I'm not going to lie to you, it will be. But how else could you do this ? He needs to know. Try not to make it such a big deal. Just ask him what he'd think about you two going out or something like that. Take it slow. You don't want to rush into anything because your relationship may just crash and burn that way. Go slow. Thats the best advice I can give you right now. I know it's hard. Good luck hun. If you need any other advice just drop it in my inbox. Good luck again!!

Ghelp answered Thursday July 7 2005, 12:18 am: Ya know...i think thats the nicest and sweetest thing. I almost did that with a girl i liked. I say go for it. If he is the right guy then he will get the message you are sending. And sometimes you have to risk a friendship for a relationship if its what really would make you happy. Follow your heart...it will take great expectations and drive them to great results. Keep in touch on how it works. Thanx.
