best friend liking you
I am 16 and a guy.. My best friend just told me that she liked me. We have been friends for a while but I don't know what to do. It gets akward when we are around the group and I don't know if we should take it farther. I need some advice.

Well, if you like her too, you should take it farther, unless you don't want to ruin the friendship, and if that's what your worried about, then talk to her about it. Tell her that if you date, that even if you break up, you want to stay as close as you were before, no matter what. I was in this situation before, and that's what I did, and it worked for me.
If you don't like her back, then just talk to her about it. When your around her, try not to think about her liking you. Just try to focus on her being your best friend, and things should roll smoothly.
Hope I helped! :]

well if it feels awkward than maybe you should tell her how you feel about the situation...i mean if you also like her then tell her to give it time and get to know each other more...but if you dont feel the same and youonly see her as a friend then let her know that you only see her as a friend...

It depends first and foremost if you like her. If you aren't sure, you should spend some one-on-one time with her and see how it goes, because if you two do start dating, this is how it will be. If it's completely awkward and just doesn't feel right, you probably should not take it farther. If it feels totally comfortable and you're sure you like her, there's a good chance it would work out.
If you're concerned about the being good friends beforehand thing, and not wanting to make it awkward, just think of it this way. People who are dating are almost always really really good friends. Since you already have that relationship, when you're dating it will more than likely feel natural and great. If, however, when you start dating, you feel like you're dating your sister, you should probably break it off. There's about a 50/50 chance it will work out, and if for whatever reason it doesn't, try to make it easy for her to go back to friend mode. There's nothing worse than throwing a friendship away after a failed dating relationship.
Hope I helped!!

If you think there can be something between you two, then go ahead. Friends tend to last longer in relationships than blind dates or some girl you knew but you just met. Its not a known fact per say, but they result better.
Be prepared for a lot though. Though nothing will change dramatically at once, a lot can change without you noticing. Whether they are done involentary or on purpose, just watch yourself and what happens. It'll help as time goes

Honestly I think sometimes the old saying is true, "Best friends make the best lovers." It's ten times better when you are with someone that knows the real you, what makes you happy, what makes you mad, what makes you cry and they still except you for you.
Some folks get lucky and marry the right person and others marry the wrong person. Dating is just that, trying to find someone who you are compatible with and someone who will take you for you.
I was lucky enough to marry a friend, a woman who loves me for me and I don't have to pretend. I think if you care for her and she cares for you then consider taking it further.
I can't begin to tell you how many folks I've met who are in their senior age who've met their life's love during their teenage years. Even if it doesn't work out, you wont go through life asking yourself "what if."
You could also easily make an agreement that if it doesn't work out, you guys will still remain friends.
