I've been single for 2 years now, and my confidence is going down because of it. I've finally found a great guy, and I'm really starting to like him. We hang out in a group of 4 of us (2 guys, 2 girls). We spend a lot of time together, and we're all getting to be very, very close. I'm not sure how to get him to realize I like him as more than a friend. I know he likes the girl to initiate things, but I don't want to say anything, him say no, then ruin our friendship. How should I go about things?
17yrs old, female.
But if you want to test the waters and see if he'll respond with out him knowing your serious, say something jokingly. Say something like "We always hang out with our friends, you must be afraid to get me alone. And laugh it off. If he responds positively, you says something you like then go for it. If he responds negatively then you can always say you were joking. [ LadyAria's advice column | Ask LadyAria A Question ]

Tell him you like him, and if he likes you too, then great! If not, there's always more boys out there, and you two just aren't meant to be. You're only 17 though, boys just add drama to teenage lives. Don't think you need a boy to be happy, just live your life :) [ cheifbritneeilu's advice column | Ask cheifbritneeilu A Question ]
