Question Posted Thursday December 28 2006, 8:43 pm
15/f. i like one of my guy friends and i don't know what to do. i want to tell him but i'm shy and i'm afraid that if he doesn't like me then it will be ackward between us and we couldn't be friends anymore.
also a lot of other girls like him too. like i know of 2 girls that have already told him that they liked him and he didn't feel the same way and then he doesn't talk to them anymore.
what should i do? and if you suggest that i tell him that i like him how should i do it?
cowgurl_up73 answered Thursday December 28 2006, 11:38 pm: you should definately let him know or your going to be awckward around him anyways and he is going to figure out somthing is up. even if he doesnt feel the same way it's the best move. If he cares about your friendship enough ya'll will both get over it and get on wiht your friendship. but if your going to tell him... tell him straight up. don't be shy about it. men like when women can talk to them and be theirselves. Don't hold back the worst thing that is going to happen and you never kno... he could like you too. like everybody says, "got to try everything once", rite. just go for it... you've got nothing to lose!

luvin_chick<3 answered Thursday December 28 2006, 9:47 pm: well, i've been through this just a month ago. what i did was, you know those surveys on myspace where other ppl answer it and they reply their answer to the poster? well, my crush posted one, and i answered it for him then he answered the same survey back to me. then i just asked him out. i don't know if he does that, but if he doesn't, that's a kinda good way to tell him. though face-to-face is better, if you don't wanna do that, then message is always good. or write him a note. my guy friend - who is also one of my best friends - turned me down with the reason of not wanting to jeopardize our friendship. though i felt bad about it, after going through that, it made me feel like our friendship had became stronger. i've told most of my crushes that i like them - never face-to-face. but thing is, even if it doesn't come out the way you want it to, there's always an advantage to it. whether it be a stronger friendship or a deeper friendship.

You could always try flirting with him but not over the top and try not to make it too obvious. But try subtly flirting and then you can see if he returns any emotion. This could show you if hes flirts back then you could try and tell him then how you feel but if he does say he would rather stay friends then tell him you agree and would love to stay his friend and make a special effort to make sure you keep talking to him. But if he shows no sign of returning to flirt with you then you may have to decide if it may be best to just stay friends because then you can ensure you do not loose him out of your life all together. I really hope that helps and you do what you think is best. xox [ xXxPorschexXx's advice column | Ask xXxPorschexXx A Question ]
xxlilreddivaxx answered Thursday December 28 2006, 9:19 pm: Only one thing to do...FLIRT!! Flirt with him like crazy. Guys like it when you play around with them. Also, that is a great way for you to get more confortable with him and he will eventually figure out that you like him. Also, by flirting, he might start to like you if he doesnt already.
