Okay, I have a friend and we've been friends for six years. But I've been secretly in LOVE with him all this time. We used to flirt when we were younger, but now that we've been friends for so long, it's like we're more like brother and sister than we could be going out. It would be weird, but he's going off to college in May and I REALLY want my chance before he gets away. I know he'll be back for holidays and everything, but I'm literally in love and I just want to be with him, yet he's just a friend and I also don't want to ruin the friendship. What if he doesn't feel the same about me?

Be prepared to handle that and be okay with it first. The Holidays will be hard if this does not go well. You don't want to risk it unless you are a strong enough gal to still be friends if he rejects you. If you really are, then by all means tell him you will miss him and have feelings for him. He should be at least flattered. Just take it slow, and reveal yourself a bit at a time to get a feel for how he is taking it all in. Even if he just wants to be friends, he may change his mind later on in life if you don't go crazy on him and remain a good friend. Sometimes it takes a guy a while to realize a good thing is right in front of them. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]
