MCRxoLoVer answered Monday July 9 2007, 5:35 pm: Like everyone has said, dont just blurt it out. If you pressure him into liking you then he will get scared. Just bring it up, and if he doesn't feel the same way, then tell him you understand. He might need some time to think, since you and him have been friends for so long. But do think about this though, if you and him start going out, then it is a possibility that if you and him do go out then if you and him break up yall might not be friends anymore. But since you and him have been friends so long, I am sure yours and his friendship could survive through anything.

Don't just blurt it out, but bring it up with him. Just say, we've been friends for so long, and lately, I feel like I want something more from you. My feelings are different, they're going beyond friendship or something like that.
Life's too short to sit around and wodner what could've been. And you never know, he might feel the exact same way! =]
Good Luck!

And Find out about him and then he might ask you why your asking and smile and say no reason and keep smiling and flirting like that.

viciousxpunk answered Monday July 9 2007, 2:35 pm: i think that you should wait until youve hung out with him for a bit, and then let him know. unless you think he likes you too, then you could go ahead and tell him now. [ viciousxpunk's advice column | Ask viciousxpunk A Question ]

If friend:
You should be honest with him.. if you can't be honest with him.. how can you expect that he'll be honest with you? I think you should tell him.. and yeah.. in person is probably the best.. rather than over AIM, MySpace, or whatever. Just sort of ease into it.. don't suddenly say "Oh yeah! I like you!" when you first see each other. Maybe ask him if he likes anyone, then he'll probably ask the same about you.
If acquaintance:
I probably wouldn't tell him right away. Maybe get to know him a little better and see how it works out.
Either way, he'll do that "scared" thing you're talking about. Its perfectly natural. If you tell a guy that you like him, he probably wasn't expecting it, and will be a little flustered at first. If he doesn't seem to want to continue with that subject, change it, and maybe act like you didn't say anything for awhile. Maybe soon he'll open up to you. Who knows.. maybe he'll realize he likes you too!
