Since you brought the subject already and he didn't say he liked you, I think you'll be best leaving your relationship as a friendship for now. I know you like him and it'll be hard going back to just thinking of him as a friend, but it's better not to push. A lot of times, love grows out of a strong friendship. I would spend my time now building your friendship so if you do end up in a relationship with this guy that you have a strong friendship to build the relationship on.

he is prbably just scared to tell you it back. Even though he KNOWS you well, he feels weird around you, knowing you like him. He MAY like you but he is shy when it comes to those kinds of things. He gets shy around love. He COMES out around friendship. It's weird, I know but it'll pass. It's just a thing he has for you and knowing that you like him too, he blushes and gets all shy around you.
What I would do is wait a little while and see how things go. If things go back to normal, ask him about again but ask him if he likes you too.
Tell him you feel strong and you take this seriously. Tell him to consider your feelings.
As good of a friend as he sounds, he'll understand! :-)

I loved one of my best friends more than anything, but when he found out, (someone told him) he practically stopped talking to me for like a week, and we stopped joking around and studying together and just talking. It hurt, a lot, and I was confused, because sometimes I'd catch him looking at me, or saying something that made me think he liked me back.
So first, determine if your friend is shying away from you completely, or could just be awkward because he likes you and doesn't know what to do.
After about two weeks I went up to my friend and just asked him if he had any feelings for me whatsoever. And he said he really did, he just didn't want to make things awkward, and didn't know how to act.
So next, talk to your friend. Just ask him if he has any feelings for you, or if you should move on. Either way, don't lose his friendship, because good friends are really hard to find, and you don't want to ruin it with a relationship that's not meant to be.
Best of luck to you, I hope it works out. <3 [ Nevaeh314's advice column | Ask Nevaeh314 A Question ]
Teza answered Thursday July 21 2005, 12:38 am: Since he didnt tell you he liked you I dont think he has those kind of feelings towards you. He had the oprutunity but I think he would just want to stay in the brother and sister relationship. I think that he would just stay the way you both are. I mean even if he was your boyfriend you wouldnt love him any more or less. Just accept his feelings. Hope everything works out. ♥// [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
