I have a really good guy friend who I tell everything to and we hang out almost every weekend and a bit at school. We trust eachother but we have kind of passed the line that we are too good of friends. The problem is for as long as I can remember I have kind of had a crush on him but I always kept this hidden from him cause we are such good friends. People always tell me we'd make a cute couple and our parents love eachother as well. He's helped me through a TON and he scolds me when i give in to peer pressure sometiems (like trying drugs and drinking), he also is always there for me even if he wont admit it.
Whenever I bring up with him the idea of us ever dating, or why we dont like eachother he tells me that Im just such a good friend it would be ackward that he knows we couldnt see eachother like that and that its just way to weird. I hate that. I have alot of guyfriends who would never date me cause Im such a good friend of theirs.
I always help him with his girl problems and compliment him alot when feeling down and such and I dont think he gets it when I compliment him or tell him hes one of the most amazing people Ive met and a girl would be lucky to have him etc. and he always thinks im lying cause hes upset but I really mean it.
I know I cant do anything because I cant compete with all these other girls but sometimes it gets me mad that he sometimes likes girls hes met once and only talked to on msn while he comes over every weekend to my hosue and its just an impossible thought. How can i get over this?
Additional info, added Monday April 14 2008, 11:37 pm: P.S. He has never liked me as more then a friend so its not one of those situations where he likes me too and I just dont know what to do. We've never dated. Always stayed good friends. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

Keep your eyes open, and be confident in yourself. If your friend is 14 he is probably a little immature to understand what a life partner really means. You have many years to find the person that you will spend your life with. So enjoy your friendship. Some people don't even have good friends. You are lucky.

You should respect his feelings and know that if its suppose to happen, it will. Don't push anything because that might scare him away. Sometimes its better to just be friends. Maybe one day he'll see into the light and realize that its you he wants. I know its hard to hear, but it takes time, and know that theres probably someone else out there better for you :) [ carayotie's advice column | Ask carayotie A Question ]
