which way do I go?


Question Posted Tuesday August 16 2005, 11:45 pm

I'm 16/f and one of my best friends is 17/m. We're ridiculously close friends. He understands me so well, and he actually cares. He has been one of the nicest people to me in my entier life. He's always there, and he always listens. He's just the sweetest person in the world.
The only problem is, I like him. A lot. As in more than best friends. But my question is, do I just keep our friendship, so that nothing else can be ruined, or do I try and push for more?
I don't want things to be awkward between us, but I love him. He has been the sweetest person in the world.

I'm confused about what to do. I'm torn between getting closer or staying how we are. Help.

i think you should tell him how you feel. if you guys did go out then break up just promise each other that you will be best friends again and you will try not to make it feel weird for eachother. but you do think you should tell him how you feel about him, he might feel the same way, you never know until you try. it might work if you really really like him.

ask me anything,

Give it a shot. Shit you only live once. Just be sure there's a chance he might like you. Otherwise, you'll just look stupid.

yes having a relationship w/ a bestfriend can be tricky but ten again but he may feel the same way so when you muster up the confidence i would tell him how you feel
good luck

i was in the same exact situation a while ago so i think i have the perfect option for you! if you really like this guy and you want him more as a boyfriend as a best friend go for it! but if you always want him as your best friend because he means a lot to you and you dont want to risk your friendship, dont tell him...

when i was in that situation i told my best friend and he liked me too so it all worked out in the end*

hope i helped!

Well by telling him how you feel, I don't see how that would break the relationship. He might even feel the same way and not have said anything for the say reason. Communication is key and crucial for any friendship/relationship. First you should tell him how you feel about him, and then explain if he doesn't feel the same way, that its ok because you want to keep it just a friendship too. If he shows no signs of wanting it going past a friendship, then try not to push him for it, because that might just push him away.

Then again, if he does accept the way you feel, but doesn't feel the same way - thats still good. You got your feelings off your chest, you were honest, and you are still friends with him - nothing wrong with that. Just be completley honest with him, so that he can do the same with you. Hope that helped and good luck.

Your boyfriend and you should be best friends so I don't see any reason why you shouldn't pursue it if you want to. Talk to him about it and see what he has to say. He may feel the same. :)

Hey,

If you're really sure about the fact that you love him then give him little hints. See if he takes them and plays along - if he doesn't you could make up little excuses- plan it out first though or you might get yourslef into a mess.
Also you could start wearing more revealing tops, a bit more daring than usual to make him notice you more.

Hope i helped,
please could you rate this

luv rach :-)

I would say that you should stick with what you have, unless you know that your feelings are mutual.

More than likely, if he wants more, he'd let you know. But you could always talk to him.

Acting on your feelings would make things awkward, but talking to him about them would only let him, and most likely you, understand them better.

your going to have people say dont ruin friendship..and your gona have people tell you to go for it..i think you should go for it because feelings are feelings and if it were me i would go for it..because think about it:

if you dont go for it you will constantly be thinking "i wonder if he felt thee same way..i wonder how things would be if we were involved romanticly.." it would personally drive me nuts..those thoughts.

so i think you should go for it..and when the romance is over just make an effort to keep things friends

It really depends on what you want. Just follow your heart with this one. No one can tell you what to do, its you that has to take the chance. If you feel like both you and him would be an awesome couple, go for it. Just tell him that you like him. Explain all your feelings for him, then see where it goes from there. I went out with one of my best guy friend before. Things didn't go to well with us being together. Now we don't even talk. It's sad, I know. We used to be so close and by us going out, it screwed up everything including our great friendship. But you never know, this could be totally different for you and he could be the man of your dreams. He could be everything to you and your relationship could be the best you'd ever have. You never know till you actually try it out. So why not try a couple of dates and see where it goes from there. Don't let a chance pass you by. You could be giving up something that could be really special.
