so me and this guy have been best friends for about 7 years. and hes liked me before, but i didnt like him then. and now i like him...a lot, but he has a girlfriend and shes one of my good friends. i'm happy for them, and i wouldnt do ANYTHING to ruin their relationship, and i dont want to tell him because i dont want to make things awkward between us or anything. so, how can i put aside my feelings for him, and just be his best friend, without liking him, until hes available? any advice would be helpful. thanks
if he says something like "i promise just tell me." then tell him throuhg a not just say :
"I think i really like 'this guy'" and continue to play stupid about it ask HIM about how you should tell 'this guy' you like him. . .when
he replys just tel him exactly how it is.. tell him how he sugested
if he doesnt feel the same way he wont dwell on it he'll change the subject,
but o well if he doenst like you back thats life.. o well . but at least you wont have to live with the wat if ..
hope i helped
:]

If his gf is a girl you trust you might want to to tell her or just keep it a secret. Uhm...you can't "not" like him you can't control your feelings...well you can but it's hard. You can always did what i did just not think about it OR maybe MAYBE it's a thing where you just need to look for a different guy. What i did was i waited and then figured out he's a jerk but the difference is you know the guy so it might just be worth the wait..
xomegaroni answered Saturday April 7 2007, 10:48 pm: That's a pretty tough situation. The best thing you can do is ignore your feelings for now & just think of him as a friend. Here's an easier way to think of it. Put yourself in his girlfriends position. You probably wouldn't be too comfortable that he's friends with a girl that really likes him, so if you backed off a bit & were only friends, she'd probably be a lot more comfortable about it. It might be a good idea to tell him eventually, probably when he doesn't have a girlfriend. You should try dating other people too to keep your mind off of it.
