sunnyville answered Monday January 29 2007, 3:18 pm: When you mentioned the part about how you ignored him it tells me that you definitely don't have strong feelings for him so it must be that you only like him as a best friend.There was this guy who had a chance with me but, he was afraid to lose me,when he wanted something more than friends it was too late because he let a lot of time past by,I lost my feelings for him,a long time ago that I decided to move on,and he regretted it a whole lot,I couldn't forgive him for all that time wasted you know that's pretty sad.

Shortcake22 answered Monday January 29 2007, 2:08 pm: Well. You have to ask yourself a series of questions. Can I see myself as his girlfriend? Can I see myself kissing him? Can I see us together in a year? Things like that. Pay a lot of attention to how you react to him. You could just have what I call a "mini-crush" on him. Where, you kind of like him and his attention he gives you, but you don't really want to date him or anything. There's a big difference between a crush and Liking someone, in my opinion. When you like someone, you want to date them. Now, my advice? Don't date him unless you have extremely strong feelings for the guy(that you are sure of) that you just can't get rid of. Because- Your friend ship will never, ever be the same after you guys date. So if this is something that's just a passing thing, then ignore it, because it's not worth it.
In my experience- It's not worth it. I've done it, as well as one of my close girl friends has done it. Ruined friendships over it.
Try to ignore or downplay your feelings for him for awhile. If they don't go away, they could be more serious, but chances are they will. Try to focus on a different guy. If you're able to do that, you will know that your feelings weren't 'real' for you best friend!
illdomybest answered Monday January 29 2007, 2:02 pm: You may just be excited to see and talk to him because hes your friend and you enjoy seeing your friend. I've have guy friends who are just friends who i enjoy but dont like on a romantic basis. if you like him you would know because you would be thinking of him then more just a friend or hed be giving you feelings of a crush. If you decide you do like him then talk to him about it but be prepared for rejection or a breakup and accept it.its not impossible to stay friends after going out if your truly friends i dated a friend for 2 wks and it was terribble and we broke up but now we've been best friends (meaning just plain friends nothing romantic or sexual)ever since.

The fastest way to lose a friend is to date them.
Why? When you break up with them, your feelings are never the same towards one another and it can seriously damage a friendship. I lost my best friend by dating him. :( [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
