SORRY SO LONG, BUT I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD HELP!
im 18/f, my best friend is 17/m.
keep in mind i've never had a boyfriend...
anyways we've been best friends for about three and a half years now. its a complicated situation. we tell each other alot, and he helps me through everything and i'm always there for him. he has a girlfriend of two and a half years. i did fall for him, and never did move on, but really nobody knows that! anyways we don't really hang out at each other's houses alot. when we see each other it's at my cousins because he is their neighbor (my girl cousin is 18, boy is 16) and me and her are like best friends! and him and my boy cousin are really close too! so thats why like when im over there he will come see me and we'll all hang out! of course he's been over to my house, but it's mostly when its me and my cousins and him and my family is completely in love with him, they want me to go out with him which is not possible obviously because he has a girlfriend!! the annoying thing is that my family won't stop bugging me about him. one time he came over when my parents were at a wedding and well my brother is 21 so he is moved out with his fiancee but he came over to get something and me and him were laying in my bed just watching tv and my brother called my whole family and they were like OoOoh what were you two doing!! and i was like oh my god seriously, we're just friends. get over it, HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND! i hate having him over because my family always bugs him about me, and every time i mention him they're like ooooooh ;] and im just like wow seriously, we're just best friends and they're always like you wish he was your boyfriend. i want him to come over, just him i feel weird having my parents here. i want my privacy, but i feel like if we're in my room and i shut my door they will suspect something is going on! we flirt, im not going to lie but nothing past the limit. i just dont know what to do! i can't get it through their head. maybe they're just not use to me having a boy over because i've never had an actual boyfriend. and it gets annoying when they always ask me when i'm going to have one and they're on my case when i talk about my best friend. he wants to hang out this weekend and on saturday my parents are going to a halloween party across the street, so i could have him over but i don't want it to be awkward if they like come home and we're laying in my bed, just watching a movie or something! and he doesn't really like having people at his house because he has four other brothers and sisters so it does get hectic. there is nothing to do anyways besides go to someones house and he has no money. he doesnt have a job because he plays baseball football and hockey so his parents want him to concentrate on that and school!! what do you guys think i should do in this situtaion. anything will help, thanks [:
