THere is this boy that I have been friends with since kindergarten and now im in seventh and hes in eighth grade. We have always been really good friends, but now I am really starting to like him in a different way. I think he might also, even though he says he like someone else. But he always asks me who I like and I just say "i dont know" because Im not sure if he really likes me. But we have also gotten alot closer. like Ill lean on him and stuff when we would never do that before. I would really like to date him, but im scared that if I date him now that we wont have a deeper relationship later on in our lives. Im also worried that we would stop being friends when if we break up. I know im only in seventh grade, but ive always dreamed of spending the rest of my life with this guy. Can anyone help me? Ill rate

If you broke up with him, sit him down and ask him if yall can still be friends. But almost every boy that dumps you still wants to be your friend and by the rate that you guys have been friends, you will probably stay friends. I think it is really sweet that you wanna spend the rest of your life with him. It makes me all warm inside. Lol. He likes you. If he lets you lean on you. Lol. Most boys are like. Get Away. Its kinda like back in first grade. Like they still think you got the cooties. Weird. But I think you should tell him how you feel. You seem right for him. And he seems right for you.

They need time away from each other, so they split for a long time because one of them probably still has feelings for the other. So, what I'm telling you is to not worry about what will happen if things don't work out. You don't even know for sure whether he has the same feelings for you. So try not jumping ahead of yourself.
Another thing you should do is have a friend ask him if he likes you or if you can get up the courage, tell him you like him the next time he asks you who you like.

If he likes you back, tell him that if you start dating, you dont want to ruin your friendship. A relationship may not last long, but a friendship deffinately will.
ItzMzManda answered Sunday April 16 2006, 9:12 pm: If this guy is your best friend, I dont think that you should date him because if you guys do break up you guys aren't going to be friends again. You guys are still in middle school and its just so young to be thinking about spending the rest of your life with someone. I think you two should just continue being friends until your friendship has grown stronger. If you guys just stay as best friends then you two will go a long way, but when being in a relationship it changes everything. Staying friends is always the best. I know you might not like this answer, but it is true most of the time and I wouldn't want you to regret it. Hope this helps!
