So I've known my friend Chris for almost 5 years now and we've become pretty much best friends. But I've been in love with him since I met him.. And I know he feels the same, but he won't do anything about it. Like we'll be driving in his car to get our friends, and he'll just reach over and grab my hand like it's no big deal but as soon as our friends get in the car, he lets go. Do you think he could be embarrassed of me or something? Because when we're alone, he's lovey dovey and huggy and acts like he wants to be with me but then around friends and at school most of the time he's totally different. Should I pursue something with him or let it go cuz it'll never happen? Please help me! :/

about you. and tell him, that you been seeing
a change in him that hes different around you when you with your friends and him and in school
and that he acts different when your alone with
him and to just confront him on that.
to actually see how he feels or ask one
of his friends to ask him, if he has
any feelings towards you and if he
won't own up to it when his friend
ask him then hes not worth it bc
if he wants to be all different
and act all "cool" to impress
his friends then hes not
worth the pain over if he
can't find the courage to
show it in public.
hope i've clear things
uhp alittle for you.

Get off your ass, go smack him upside the head, and kiss him.
Now.

Seriously though, your friendship is doomed if there is mutual like. You can't be friends with someone you want to date, and if you don't date, you will drift apart.
If you do date, you might drift apart, but you gave dating a shot. Or you end up dating. No matter what, I can promise you'll regret it if you don't do anything about it. So go kiss him.

That may also be the problem. But secondly you just need to ask him what is going on. Also where this relationship is going. Because you want to be more than friends and it sounds like he may want to be too. He may just be to chicken to take it to the next level. Someone has to so you need too ask him whats going on with him and where he sees you guys headed. [ canada2011's advice column | Ask canada2011 A Question ]
duckyfernanda answered Friday April 3 2009, 5:03 pm: Well it appears that he IS attracted to you. However, he may be afraid to make the next step and jepordize the friendship OR he could be "testing the waters" to decide if he wants to pursue a relationship with you beyond friendship. If I were you I would just straight up ask him- Where is this going? Its the most upfront way to get your answer and a lot of guys find a girl that is straightfoward as intruguing or attractive. If he says he likes you just a friend, then its ok. Dont act upset or anything. Just say "ok." That will puzzle him more. The trick to winning over a guy is to be nonchalant and beat him to the chase. With you asking HIM, it shows you are curious but that you are able to handle a rejection. Most girls wont ask if they think it will be a negative answer. SO by asking, you are already setting yourself apart from the others.
Hope I helped some! =] [ duckyfernanda's advice column | Ask duckyfernanda A Question ]
justwanttohelp85 answered Friday April 3 2009, 3:54 pm: Ask him what his deal is. What does he want from you freinds or relationship? Tell him he is sending you mixed signals and you aren't sure what it is he wants. If you aren't comfortable bringing it up maybe you shouldn't worry about it so much. You can spend your time stressing over what he is thinking or you can not worry about it and maybe a different guy will come along who isn't so confusing. I'm not saying that it won't happen but what if it dosen't and you feel like you've wasted you time waiting for him? [ justwanttohelp85's advice column | Ask justwanttohelp85 A Question ]
