I think I have a problem. I have known this guy since we were in diapers. We used to be best friends. He is so sweet and he loves the lord as much as I do. And I think that that is great. I told him how I feel ( I like him) and he told me that he wants to be friends right now but he wants to have a girlfriend when he is older. But he is flirting with me alot and he has told me that he likes me but is afraid that if we ever do break up then he thinks that we might loose our friendship. Please help me. I think thta i love him!!! <3

Burlesque answered Tuesday July 17 2007, 10:53 am: By telling you that he is afraid it will ruin the friendship he's showing you that he values your friendship and that he does like you, and in the event that you broke up relationship-wise he would be unhappy without your friendship.
He probably likes you too, and if you hang in there you'll probably end up dating, and this is the part where I give you the same old three words I give anyone about relationships. COMMUNICATION IS KEY. Always be open and honest, but allow eachother privacy if you do get into a relationship.. but even friendships work like that.
I'd say you guys will get together sooner than you think so don't pressure him about it, just wait and be honest about how you feel.
I hope I helped you some. [ Burlesque's advice column | Ask Burlesque A Question ]

If you do not dayte, it will eventually turn sour, and yes, it will ruin the friendship.
Long experience with friendships where there is romantic attraction tells me that they dont generally last forever unless they turn into something more than just friendship.
Every girl I have ever been friends with that I have been seriously attracted to, I am no longer friends with, save my fiance'
Im not sure how old you are, so I cant give you a bit more targeted advice, but Im guessing 13-14. If he wants to wait, wait. But if you want to date him, do so. Romantic tensions rip up friendships and if that doesnt, later when you date other people jealousy will. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]
LovMe_14 answered Sunday July 15 2007, 8:05 pm: Well i think that if you guys really like eachother than you should do like a "trial" girfriend and booyfriend thing. And see if it works out and if i doesnt you guys promise to stay friends cause at least you guys will know that it didnt work out and al least you tried it. And hey if it does work out then you have something much more than friendship. best of luck.=)And If you do decide to do anything then do it before he decides to go out with somebody else who he doesnt mind reaking up with(personal experiance, i waited too late:'( [ LovMe_14's advice column | Ask LovMe_14 A Question ]
sweetipie205 answered Sunday July 15 2007, 11:42 am: 1st of all: awwwwww. Thats so sweet because That happened to me once. My bff Gage liked me but I didnt like him like that. But when I did he had a gf, so I couldnt do anything. OK here's what you do; One: Its a good thing that you know how he feels. Two: Its also good that hes worried about your friendship. Three: Try to never to get in a fight with him if you two do go out. I think you should ask him out and see how it turns out. If everything turns out ok, then thats great. But if not you can talk to me or anyone else who awnsers this question. I think everything will turn out ok though. [ sweetipie205's advice column | Ask sweetipie205 A Question ]

i think he likes you a lot to be thinking that far ahead and he definatly doesnt want to ruin your friendship cos it means so much to him. Maybe he doesnt want a girlfriend at the moment b'cos he isnt ready yet... [ sally91's advice column | Ask sally91 A Question ]
