Ok...there's this girl, my best-friend. well about a month ago she told me she liked me ALOT and well I told her I just want to be friends and she was fine with it. Well I'm really starting to like her now, just not as much as she likes me...how do I go about telling her that I like her? do I flirt, if so how? do i msn her? do i just tell her, cause she's really shy and I know how hard it must have been for her to tell me...I'm just so lost right now...what do I do?

Right now, you have an honest relationship as friends - she told you how she feels, you said you were unable to return those feelings, and she was cool with it (or at least, she says so). If you decide to change that dynamic, you need to be up front with her about what your feelings are. If you just start flirting and such, she'll be confused;
First, decide whether you're ready to start a deeper relationship with her. Bear in mind that she'll be investing more from the start, because her feelings are stronger than yours. Be considerate of this, and try not to give her reasons to feel insecure. And if you do find that the chemistry just isn't there, then don't pretend that it is; it will only make the eventual breakup more painful. It might be a good idea to tell her right from the start, "I want to give it three months, and we'll see how it's working out." By then you'll both have a clear idea on whether you work as a couple.
Bottom line: be honest and straightforward. As your friend, she deserves that. And don't discount the possibility that sparks might fly; sometimes the best romantic relationships start as friends. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
