If he is, DO NOT go for him. It will only end up in pain. If you aren't sure what I mean, ask yourself this. Would this guy feel up a girl or totally lead her on and then do the next thing to another girl the following day? If not, continue reading. I actually have had a friend go through the exact situation you are going through right now. First you must consider the consequences. If you admit your feelings, you risk losing what you describe to be a strong friendship. He could however admit the feeling is mutual and then you both live happily ever after. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. If you don't admit your feelings, then you avoid losing your friendship and feeling embarassed if he turns you down. At the same time, you risk taking it to the next level if he were to like you. I would suggest that if you value him greatly as a friend, do not make the move. Afterall, guys do have the tradition of making moves when necessary so make him make the move. If you really feel, however, that you would rather risk it to allow the possibility of you two hooking up, then go for him. As I said, it depends on your friendship. Good Luck and hope this helps! :) Feel free to ask for further advice if you feel I didn't totally answer your problem. [ wrongnstillwrite's advice column | Ask wrongnstillwrite A Question ]
