For the past month or two I have liked this guy. His name is Riley and he is very sweet. We talk all the time and we always flirt and joke around and compliment eachother. He always tells me how awesome I am and how he thinks I am one of the nicest girls ever and how I am alot of fun. I think he is really sweet, funny and understands me. He is a grade older than me and he goes to another school.
My best friend is really good friends with him so she talks to him alot. She found out he really likes me, but there is one problem. He also likes 4 other girls. Hes not sure who he likes more so he doesnt want a girlfriend right now cause he doesnt want to end up hurting anyone. Im not supposed to know any of this. Ive never told him straight out I like him but I want to. I was going to last night but I chickened out because I was afraid of being hurt. Should I tell him how I feel? Or try to move on and the girls at his school have him? Any ideas? Thanks

I was talking to an older boy who also liked 3 other girls. His idea was to hang out with all of us and kind of just keep it nuetral for about a month, and then he would finally decide who he really likes. The truth is, nothing good comes out of these kinds of situations. 4 girls are going to get hurt no matter who he chooses. BUT, if you keep it at a simple crush, and not become crazy over him, things will turn out fine weather he picks you or not, because if you don't like him that much, you won't get hurt. I know this because when it happened to me, I was not the girl he chose, and while he was "testing us out" for a month, I became crazy for him. If I didn't, I wouldn't have ended up so hurt in the end. So I think you should just tell him you like him, and keep it at that, see what happens, but don't get too crazy over him. The minute you think her REALLY likes you, he screws you over for someone else... So just be careful ;)

it takes time for someone to make their mind up. you never know, he may out of all them girls like you the most.
Do NOT let them girls at his school have hom unless he chooses to have them.
you can't just let go of something like that.
You've GOT TO tell him HOW YOU feel.
it's the only way you'll find out how he feels about you. [ lovefalls8's advice column | Ask lovefalls8 A Question ]

Good Luck!!<3 [ xomuffinn's advice column | Ask xomuffinn A Question ]
xJustAskMeDuhx answered Friday October 26 2007, 7:39 pm: I think you should tell him. Better to just get it out of the way, right? After all, the way things are now: He likes you, and you like him, but he doesn't know, so obvoiusly you're not going out.
If you tell him, he'll probably be glad because he likes you too, and he might ask you out. The worst that can happen is that he doesn't ask you out because he doesn't wanna hurt anyone, but would that REALLY be that bad? You guys aren't going out anyway, so might as well take a chance, and it's better to take that chance than let those other girls have it, don't you think?
