I have a guy friend that I've known my entire life (he's my neigbor) and I've always had this want to maybe be more than friends.
For a while I thought I had a crush on him...but I told him and he said we have known each other too long, so I figured that maybe I didn't really have a crush on him. Soon after he got a girlfriend.
That was one year ago...they're broken up now. He asked me just as a random question if I would date him and told him I probably would...but his response was "I'm flattered, and I would probably date you too if I had the chance, but it would probably be too awkward. We've known each other too long..."
Ugh, I don't know what to think anymore. My friends say they see sparks between us, and I have questioned it myself...but I don't know if he'll ever give it a chance.
Maybe we're not made for each other...but I wish he would give it a chance and see if there ARE sparks...Yet, at the same time I don't want to ruin what he have.
What should I do?
P.S. Sorry it's long. Oh and I'm a 14 year old female

I think that you shoudl tell him, I will go out with you if you ask me. Say if you guys break up that things wouldn't change. And that knowing each other for a long time will just make the relationship stronger. Also you can say that life has been passing you by because you were too afraid to take risks and play it safe..that really gets them because then they realize that they haven't really been living. I am also a 14 year old female so I know how you feel. Hope I helped =] [ shopoholicgrl's advice column | Ask shopoholicgrl A Question ]
