my best friend is a boy
we're 16
we've gotten really close the past 3 years
and ive completely fallen for him, even if ive promised myself i wouldnt
hes amazing
i cant even explain it
and i dont know if he feels the same way about me
but whenever he sees me in the morning his face lights up
and everyone says that hes the happiest when they see us talking
and he listens to absolutely everything i say
he takes care of me. not just the giving me his jacket in the rain type thing, or covering my eyes and holding my hand during a scary movie, or the carrying me like a princess when i hurt my leg type thing, but its also the staying on the phone with me for 6 hours after i had an argument with my mom on vacation, and walking 6 miles to my house in the pouring rain to visit me when i was sick.
i was talking to him about my english class, and how i didnt expect him to ask me to homecoming because there were a lot of people thatd be mad about it (his other friend, this girl who likes him, this guy who likes me, some of his friends that he isnt really close to but get mad at him for hanging out with me, all of which are in my english class) so i told him that i didnt expect him to ask me because of all those people. and the next day when i was sitting in english class and he appeared with my galpal with this huge banner outside the window saying janie. homecoming?
and i was so happy
and i didnt think i had fallen for him until i was sitting in the library doing my hw and i saw him walking over out of the corner of my eye but pretended not to and he put his hand on mine and i looked up and he looked into my eyes and i looked into his and even though all he said was "hey" really softly i just knew
i love this guy
and i dont know what to do
i want to tell him
but i dont want to freak him out
what if i totally destroy our relationship?

Don't let those other people hold you two back. All that should matter is that you guys love eachother. I don't see why he would do all these special romantic things if he didn't love you too. Keep me updated if you don't mind. This story warms my heart. I am sure when you tell him you will be together. Good luck, though you dont need it ;) [ for3v3r_his's advice column | Ask for3v3r_his A Question ]
