Im 13. My best friend Sean, and I have been best friends for a long time. im alot taller and im gothic. He is short and a dumb nerd. i love him as my bff but a bf to. i love him and he loves me. my friend told him that i really loved him and everything and then he told me he loved me. but we just wont go out i wont ask him he wont ask me but we really love each other. but now we dont act the same anymore around each other. i always used to hug him and just do stuff like that but as my best friend and he'd do it back. now when i do he just looks at me. i say just as friends because hes my best friend. i dont kiss him because hes a guy and that would be like bf gf i do that to my friends that are girls they do it to me. its not the same anymore i want it to be the same again. he takes everything differently. am i flirting? what should i do? or say?
What I think he thinks is going on.. is that Sean thinks that you want more than just friends. & I think that scares him probably.
Not trying to be stereotypical, but the typical 'nerd' doesn't usually get much attention from girls. So maybe the fact that a girl that he likes is actually hugging him and paying attention to him, it makes him nervous.
Everyone responds differently to nerves. I usually show mine by being hyper and loud.. while Sean might show his by being shy and quiet.
I think you need to confront him.. whether it is online, in person, or through a note.. I think you need to tell him that your friendship means a lot to you. & Just because you guys know each others feelings for one another, shouldn't affect your friendship.
