My best friend likes me!
Okay, so I have a guy friend who I am really close with. We're always cracking inside jokes and making fun of each other. I've always thought of him as my best guy friend, but nothing more. In my PE class, everyone says we like each other. I always shake my head and say 'no way' but I've just noticed he has never made any objection. I'm always telling my friends in my PE class I don't like him (which I don't!) and they always say : Oh really, I thought you did!
A bunch of people in my PE class are always saying how we like each other and when I say "Ewww! No!" they say, "Shutup and stop acting like a stupid 3rd grader." And I've got so fed up with it I want to slap them in the face.
Today At lunch I was by the band room with my friend when one of my closer friend from PE comes up to me and tells my that my guyfriend likes me and wants to get with me, but is afraid I don't like him! I totally freaked out and got nervous, and when I went back to my friends and told them they were all like, "You never knew that! Oh my gosh, it's so obvious!"
And appearently everyone in my PE class knew that he liked me (for sure) and none of them told me. So I was the only one in the whole class (and there's 38 kids in the class!) who didn't know. And the guy I like is in the class so I'm worried he'll think that I like my guyfriend! I don't know WHAT to do, and I need advice!

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
If you're really close with your friend, you should be able to talk with him about your feelings. Try to feel comfortable when you address this subject because that will help him relax too (if he couldn't talk to you directly about this, it means that he is embarrassed and could be easily hurt). Explain to him that there is nothing wrong with him, that he is a great guy and that's why you like having him as a friend (it's crucial to do this if you don't want to hurt his feelings!), but that you love him as a brother and it would be weird for you to be his girlfriend. Underline that you would hate losing his friendship and ask him if you could stay friends. If he says yes, which he probably will, talk to him about the ways to stop rumours about the two of you. If you feel close enough to share this secret about your crush with him, explain that you're afraid that the boy you like won't approach you if he thinks you already have a boyfriend. If not, just tell him that you feel uncomfortable when others tease you because of him, and ask him if he could tell his friends that there is nothing but friendship between you and him.
I hope that helps!
