15/f
im in love with my best guy friend. we've been friends with benefits for a while but never liked each other more than friends. now he's going out with my other best friend. we've stopped being friends with benefits but he'll still hug me or rest his head on me and his girlfriend is ok with that. my problem is that i liked him before he was going out with my other friend but didnt say anything because i thought it might be weird going out with my best friend. i still haven't been able to get rid of my feelings for him. i dont know if i should tell him or just try to somehow not like him anymore. any advice could help
thanks

happychicka answered Wednesday November 15 2006, 2:17 pm: You can't not like someone... like you can't ever control how you feel about someone, it just kinda happens and sometimes it hits you square in the face. But i think you should tell him how you feel. I kidna think you should also wait to tell him how you feel after his relationship with your best friend because if you do it while he is still going out with her you might cause some other problems in the friendship that you have with his girlfriend. But if you really feel strong about him and you can't wait any longer to tell him how you feel then go ahead and tell him, but also tell your friend (his gf) how you feel and how you didnt want to ruin your guys relationship but that you've like him in forever and you just needed to tell him. Make sure that you explain to her how important it is for you guys to stay friends and im sure that if she is trully a friend that she will understand. I really hope and helped and if i didnt than i am super sorry but i really hope i did help lol GOODLUCK!! [ happychicka's advice column | Ask happychicka A Question ]

You can't just hide that you like him.
You should've talked to him about it and asked him if he felt the same way.
That's what I did.
And it ended up that he had always liked me back to.
So maybe when he's single you should talk to him about that.
I'm pretty sure everything will all work for you.
