Sorry this is long!! I am 14/f and I am going into high school. I like this one boy that I went to grade school with. We were at this party and we wre playing truth or dare and I dared him to tell who he likes. He looked at me and was like I like someone who is sitting right in this circle. I was thinking oh my gosh I think it's me cause when he was saying it he was looking directly at me and was smiling. Then I said who is it he said um its tara. Ouch did that hurt! but my friend says she thinks that he is lying but I dunno I felt sometimes that he liked me. he told me he I am the only one he can talk to about anything and he trusts me. But the problem is we are really good friends now i am stuck in "just friends" and I would never want to ruin our great friendship. what should I do?

Siren_Cytherea answered Tuesday July 3 2007, 12:55 pm: Well it's up to you. If you're sure that you don't want to risk ruining your friendship, the only thing you can do is try to get over him. Find someone new to focus your attention on.
Or, if you don't think you can do that, your only choice is really to risk your friendship. Tell him you like him and see what he does. Girls are very rarely forward like that, it might surprise him in a good way.
"um, it's tara" Doesn't seem genuine to me. My theories are, either he didn't want you to think it was you because HE doesn't want to jeapordize your friendship, so he came up with a way to stop that from happening (telling you it was someone else). Or he was really hesitant about saying it because he knows you like him and didn't want to hurt you.
I'm guessing it'd more likely be the first, judging by the "um", and the details you gave me about your friendship with him.
My advice is to muster up a whole lot of courage and tell him how you feel about him. You may be pleasantly surprised. Or, if he's a perceptive kind of guy, he might already know, and my second theory is more accurate.
What do your instincts tell you? You said sometimes you've felt that he liked you. What made you think that? Does it make sense to you that he would like you, given that knowledge. Girls' instincts are very good...you should learn to listen to them. I guarantee they'll be right more than they aren't.
Good luck, let me know how it pans out!
