have you ever revealed your feelings to a close guy friend?


Question Posted Thursday February 7 2008, 12:24 pm

hey, i just want to know if there's anyone who's asked their good guy friend out,or if you've had feelings for them and just straight out told them. i dunno anyone who's done that and what the best/worst is that can happen,as in how often the friendship still remains after that is said. so if you can tell me what happened after you told your best guy friend please let me know! thank you!

i told him online with the help of my best girlfriend. and after that, we kind of got closer and eventually dated. for about a month. after that, things were really awkward for about 2 weeks. i mean it was bad. but i met my now current bf of 2 yrs 2 weeks after my guyfriend and i broke up. once i met a new guy i felt a lot better, and my guy friend and i got talking. we both talked about not being weird around each other and it didnt take long to get things back to how they were. nothing got ruined. we even got closer as friends. i mean now that we both graduated i dont see him as much, but definitely when he comes home for breaks we hang out.

I told my best guy friend that I likes him before we were even that close and at first it made us more complicated and he didn't want us to hang out as much, but that soon ended and now we hang out all the time. He comes over to my house a couple times a week and we talk every day at school. He doesn't let people be mean to me. When he comes over we sit right next to each other, like we are so close that one side of our bodies are touching. Sometimes we put an arm around each other. I play with his hair, we tickle each other, and put my head on his shoulder. It's sweet, but he has a girlfriend and he loves her and we are just friends, but the point is that telling him didn't ruin our friendship. It actually got easier. Mail me if you want to know anything else.

hey, well lets see, let me start off by saying i am a senior in high school. and freshman year me and this boy where really close friends, like he was my best guy friend. And toward the end of freshman year i started to like him. And the august 7th i told him that i liked him. Then i saw him the next day, and it was very akward, he didn't even talk to me. Then we got into a fight that night online, and he was like nothing has changed, but yeah. Since then our friendship has gotten worse and worse, so much to the point that now we barely even talk. that is just what happened with me, but yeah. it made everything just bad. if you want to know more about it, send me a question to my inbox, i was kinda brief, just cause i'm not sure if you would want to hear all about it.

hey. yeah, my best guy friend and i have been really good friends for about four years. all through then, it was like we both knew that we liked each other but we didn't want to act on it and risk ruining our friendship. there were times when we did talk about our feelings, and we just had to decide to just be friends. and in my situation, it's better that way because i really do value my friendship with him. and now we don't really feel the same- we're just friends. on another note, it was the right decision because now he is dating a wonderful girl and i couldn't be happier for both of them. and by the way, the girl that he is dating is also one of his best friends and they decided to start dating after being great friends for a few years. you just have to talk about it and choose which route would be best. the worst that can happen is that things might be weird for a while, but if your relationship is strong enough you will be fine in the end. the best that can happen is that you will live happily ever after, no matter the outcome. truthfully, things have only been weird with us once, and it was only for like two days. so go for it. i think the best decision is to at least tell him how you feel, and then you can decide what you want to do. there are cases where you should date somebody, and there are cases where it's best not to. i'm very happy with my decision to just stay friends with him because i'm happy and he's happy and his girlfriend (who is one of my good friends) is also happy. i'm not telling you to make him date somebody else or anything, but discuss the situation with him and decide what you want to do. i hope i helped :)

1love1life answered Thursday February 7 2008, 6:00 pm:
it depends on how strong the friend relationship you have with him right now is. Ive been out with a guy friend before and when we broke up we never talked again. and we hate each other. But he was an asshole to start with so yea. But in your case if yall really know each other then that is good because if yall get together then you can just skip the getting to know each other part but the worst thing that could happen is that yall break up and not be friends anymore but im sure that wont happen. Plus if you dont tell him and there is a chance yall could of worked out then you will be kicking your self in the ass later for not telling him.

I've done it a few times. My best relationships started out as friendships. For the most part, I am still friends with the guys, and I've been married nearly 9 years now (oh, my husband was a dear friend in high school, then we dated, then we were apart for a while, then back together). So, I have yet to see it hurt anything. I guess it could, but if you are honest and not obsessive, I don't think it would.

kitkit2009 answered Thursday February 7 2008, 3:16 pm:
Yes, I have. I sat down and had a conversation with him and told him how I felt. I told him if he thinks that it would make our friendship go down if we dated we shouldn't do it. He was just like it won't so we dated. well he broke up with me for another chick... but we are still really good friends and we talk almost everyday.
