I’m going to try to make this brief since I know you don’t have time to
be going through pages of my problems. You see, I am love with this guy
DJ, I have been since I was in 6th grade, when we started off as being
friends. That eventually grew into being best friends, and before I
knew it, he liked me. But I didn’t see it because at that point I didn’t
know what it was like to be liked by a boy. When he liked me, I was
going through stages of struggling with makeup, getting my first period,
desperately trying to learn how to shape my eyebrows (which always ended
up being pencil thin), and trying to figure out where I belonged in my
social circle (at the time I was more in the “gangster” kind of
clique).
He was my first love, and no matter how hard I’ve tried, I could never
get him out of my head, nor my heart. I’ve liked other boys, but he had
always been in my heart, and there was not a time in my life that I was
definite that if he asked me out I would say no. He was (and still is)
a very handsome boy that all the girls swoon over. When I was in 6th
grade we were very close, until something happened at the end of the year
which caused us to part. In 7th grade, things were very wishy-washy,
meaning that we weren’t very good friends, although we didn’t exactly
hate each other. We talked every now and then if something bad happened
between one of our friends but nothing other than that. I felt things for
him on and off, and he remained in my heart, but I knew that the way
things were going, that it would be pointless to try to get us together.
I told him during the year that I liked him sometimes, but of course,
since we weren’t very good friends, he didn’t care very much. And there
were also times that I told him that I didn’t like him anymore which
was always a lie since he was always in my heart. A few days ago he
instant messaged me saying that he felt stupid for walking out on me, and
that he regretted it because he realized that I was a good friend. So we
are now best friends again, and I’d have to say that I’m pretty happy.
I want to tell him how much he means to me, that I dream about him at
night, and that I am overally just completely in love with him. The only
thing is that as I am in love with him, he is in love with this other
girl Casey, the one that he was going out with in 6th grade, when he
liked me, but he cared for her more so wouldn’t leave her for me. He had
told me that at the beginning of the school year that he would ask her
out again, which is coming on September 6th. I feel that my time is
running out, but since we have only just became being best friends again, I
don’t want to rush things, because I don’t want to mess things up and I
want us to have a relationship.
I need some serious help on what to do from here.
He means everything to me and I only wish that I meant the same to him
in his eyes.
Please help. I’d appreciate it so much you have no idea.

If he liked you in 6th grade the chances are that he will still hold a torch for you!! You dont have anything to lose, as just tellin him you like him shouldnt change your friendship! you will still be the same girl.. he will just know you like him! And, if it does go wrong.. you will be able to put your mind, and heart, to rest and move on! You cant say that you didnt try, and if he does turn you away.. he might not be someone who you want to be with anyway!! Love Emma XX [ proper_emma's advice column | Ask proper_emma A Question ]

Maybe invite him to go to a movie and let him see what he's been missing out on. Spending more time with him will make you closer and hopefully make it easier for you to open up to him. You definately need to tell him how you feel though. If you don't, you will regret it later. He could be too shy to tell you how he feels. Just let him know that you've been thinking about him a lot and see how he responds. I hope it works out for the two of you! <3 Dana [ littleblufirefly's advice column | Ask littleblufirefly A Question ]
x3candiigrl answered Sunday August 20 2006, 10:00 pm: I know how it feels to love your best friend. But ever think maybe he is feeling the same way your feeling right now? Sometimes in friendships they do that. So when your thinking he doesnt like you, then he could be thinking you dont like him.
The only way to do it is to just tell him how much he means to you. Do you want to spend the rest of your live wondering "What If?"
As friends, even if he doesnt feel the same way hell know that you do. And maybe someday hell realize he loves you too. I really hope you tell him. Its the only way to do it.
katie_knows_all481 answered Sunday August 20 2006, 8:15 pm: I had a similar problem: i went out with a guy named Tyler, we broke up, but we remained friends, and he is always a part of me, and a part of me always loves him still.
Email him, or write via snail mail. I think that is the easiest and least nerve-rackying way to tell him. Send him a Love or BFF e-card (www.bluemountain.com has a few cool free cards in those categories that you can send without joining) and tell him that you care about him deeply, and ask the big question: Will you go out with me, or say it however you want to. If he says no, don't act dissapointed around him. give him time, he may decide he does want a relationship.

thepiratejedi answered Sunday August 20 2006, 8:09 pm: You are chasing Amy. When some one is chasing Amy, they are chasing the love that they lost and can never have again. I know that you don't want to hear this, but I think you should stop. I don't think he wants to be anything more than friends with you. If you go into this, I'm positive you'll only get hurt. But if you want to try, if you think you can get him, my only advice is to talk. Communicate with him in a way that lets him understand how you feel. Don't say something like, "Your the love of my life!", because it might scare him. Tell him that you want to be with him, tell him that you think about him alot. If he is on the same wavelength, then who knows. He could be crazy about you. He might even just be going with this other girl to get over you. I don't know because I don't know him. You are the catalyst of these events. Either strike now, or turn away. Never regert your decision. [ thepiratejedi's advice column | Ask thepiratejedi A Question ]
