You should deffinetly tell him that you like him. I think that if you start off being best friends with a guy before you date that it turns out to be a really great relationship because you know eachother better. That's what happened with me and my boyfriend.. we were best friends for a year and I told him that I liked him because we would flirt and everything and then he ended up asking me out and this so far is the best relationship that I've been in. And yeah.. sometimes you don't end up being friends with a person after you break up but there always is a chance that you will. So if you decide that you really like him, I say.. tell him.

Okay, I got it. Give yourself a week. If you still think you like him, then go for it, life's too short.

If you're just flattered (and I know how that goes) then you'll know by then.

I say tell him how you feel, but make it clear that if it doesn't work out, you don't want it to be awkward. Maybe he will think about it and also realize that your friendship way too important to risk it by starting a different kind of relationsihp.

I think you need to sit back and think about your feelings. I mean really think. My best friend Brian, Ive known him for 12 years. [ since i was 4 ] and we've went out multiple times, and it didnt change our friendship at all. Point being, if your extremely close and he really cares about you, going out and it ending, wont end the friendship, Because if you really honestly care about a person so much, nothing will be able to stop you from being their friend still. Also, If your having doubts, then dont go through with it, or talk to him about it and see how he feels.

ok, well i think you should give it a try some of the best relationships are based as friends first and then escalate into something more. and if you just do nothing about it, its going to be more awkward than if u go out and then break up...not that you will and if you were friends for along time, you will prolly be going out for a while too..hope i helped <3 michelle

Just give it time, but tell him whats going on. You are probably just flattered, since you didn't like him at first, but if you wait, you might find out you really like him like that. If you do, then you should go out for him. **Dont wait too long to decide, cuz you cannot expect him to wait forever.

Give it a try. Your boyfriend should be one of your best friends so you have a head start.

You can remain friends should you break up. Just don't let dating change your friendship. A lot of times people will stop talking to each other or will try to impress one another just because they start dating. Don't do that. He already likes you just the way you are. Just speak your mind as you probably do now as friends. :)

HectorJr answered Thursday August 11 2005, 8:19 am:
See and wait to see if you really do have feelings for him. Before anything, tell him that you appreciate his feelings towards you. If you do have feelings for him, and want to go out with him, first tell him what you wrote: that if your relationship does end, you don't want your friendship to end with it. As your best friend I'm sure he would want the same thing. Don't act on just the fact that he likes you to go out with him. You should only do that if both of you like each other, and not just because he likes you. If you do have feelings for him, don't wait on it too much, go ahead with it. Good luck.

MissMarie answered Thursday August 11 2005, 3:43 am:
Whoa, I know exactly where your coming from. I have this friend that was totally into me and once we started hanging out more i thought that yeah ya know maybe i do have feelings like that for him so i told him and as soon as i did my feelings changed for him. Not because I wanted to hurt him or anything but because like you said your sort of flattered and all. Well now our friendship is totally messed up and i feel like i can't even be myself around him. So my advice to you would be to lay low for a little and see how you feel about him in a few says or what ever and if you still feel the same then tell him but it's a big chanse to take ricking your friend ship and all.

This is all I can say to your problem... follow your heart. Yeah, I know cheeseball but hey, I mean come on you have to admit you should. If you really have no feelings for the guy, then don't go out with him. Tell him how you really feel and I'm really sure he'll understand! Goodluck & as cheesy as it may sound, follow your heart! lol

I would tell him but I would also tell him that you don't want to lose him as a best friend either because he means a lot to you. Then I would just go from there. Hopefully everything works out & if you need anything else just leave it in my inbox!

ncblondie answered Thursday August 11 2005, 3:04 am:
I think you need to be sure whether you really like him or not first before you step into a relationship. Once you've figured out whether your feelings toward him are true, then let him know. Take things slow. You already have a great friendship with this guy. Let him know up-front that you don't want anything to jeopardize your friendship. I'm sure he'll understand and feel the same way.
