14/f.....i just met a new friend named Kate..i've got to know her and she's really nice. she liked this one guy named Phil a few weeks ago but claims she doesn't like him anymore...but you she still sort of does u kno...1/10..anyways i sort of like him now(even though ive never talked to him really; i just think he's really cute). so would it be wrong to start liking him publicly??? and i dont really want to ask her if its ok b/c i am afraid it will ruin our friendship. what should i do??
and my second question is if i do end up liking him publically..how should i get started talking to him?? thanx

Now, the biggest issue here is there is no a private I like you or a public I like you. You have to like someone well enough to have them in all aspects of your life before you can let be known you want more.
This guy could be great or a creep or not interested. Learn the 411 on him before going further. He may just not like you or you may hate him. Being cute does not mean he is boyfriend material. Be cautious with your friend and him in general. Hope something works for you. [ GDROB2's advice column | Ask GDROB2 A Question ]

okay, sorry, i couldn't resist.
this is how i really feel..because i was in the same position.
wait a couple weeks and don't tell her. wait and see if she starts liking him again. sometimes people go back and forth when they are starting to move on. once you feel a little more optimistic that she may not like him anymore, its time to talk to her and ask her permission before you do anything. if she's a good friend, she will probably say its fine. if she says it isn't, it doesn't mean she is a bad friend..she is just telling you the truth and you should respect that.
once you start liking him "publically"..just talk to him like you usually would (you do talk to him, right?). maybe even write him a note during school claiming to be "bored" and pass it to him in the hall. make it a little getting to know you type thing..like make a survey for him and just tell him random things about your day. that will give you stuff to talk about later on in person..instead of it seeming like you are pulling stuff out of midair. try to hang out with him more..and just get to know him better. if you think that there is a possibility that he likes you too, tell him how you feel. just be prepared for whatever answer he may give you.
good luck! [ iSpEaKsPaNiSh's advice column | Ask iSpEaKsPaNiSh A Question ]
