Additional info, added Tuesday October 11 2005, 10:51 pm: o yea btw im 13/m. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life? Jarhead11789 answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 6:44 pm: Tell her. I have been in that situation literally like a half-dozen times.
Just tell her, but be cautious about it. Just let her know that you've been thinking alot about it and you've realized that you like her more than you had thought, and in a different way.
If you're really best friends, then even if she isn't interested in a relationship, you'll still be friends. She might act a little uncomfortable for a while, I'd say a few weeks at most, but you'll still be friends, and she'll warm back up to you quick enough.
If she does like you back, then you need to be careful not to jump in and smother her, and you have to be careful not to change too much too quick.
Hope I helped. Good luck. [ Jarhead11789's advice column | Ask Jarhead11789 A Question ]

icey0990 answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 3:55 pm: well..i was thinking about this for a minute..and from my own experiences ive found that the best way to go about this without making things weird..is to have a friend of both yours and hers to talk the girl. Have this friend approach the girl you like and casually ask "do you see (your name) as more than a friend? because i think you would be cute together and it seems to me he likes you."
this way..if she doesnt like you like that..she will tell the friend..and you and her can go on like normal
if you told her you like her and she said no...things could be weird..but then again they might not be weird.. ive been in this situation and the person didnt like me back..things arent weird..we are the same old great friends (but then again we are 16...so i dont know if that would make a difference)
ShellyRae answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 2:39 pm: hey hun well first off hang out with her all the time like usual and act yourself. if shes gonna like you she'll like you for you not for some person thats hiding under a disquise. treat her with respect and make sure to buy "special" things for her birthday and exc. I hope it works out for you and that I helped.
je_taime_tant1 answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 12:05 pm: If you are best friends, than you should be able to talk to her like that. Don't bring it up randomly, and try not to spill out what you're going to say all at once, it might overwhelm her. Maybe you should ask her who she likes, and try to see if you can get her to open up.
You should tell her that you like her. It's worth a try, seriously. You never know, she could like you too. Oh yeah, try and flirt with her, and spend time with her (but don't suffocate her, you know?).
Ivy921 answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 8:35 am: I think you should tell her how you feel, but you have to know that there are some risks involved in doing that.
So, tell her how you feel, but don't come on too strong. Say, I know we are best friends but I have feelings for you that are more than friends. I don't know if you feel the same way, but I hope you do, but if you don't, I don't want to lose our friendship over this.
I hope she feels the same way. She very well might, but the biggest risk is that if she doesn't, the friendship may be a little bit strained for a while. You have to figure out for yourself if the risk is worth it.
Good luck and keep me posted. [ Ivy921's advice column | Ask Ivy921 A Question ]
