I have a best (guy) friend i have known since elementary school. We live in Tampa fl. We are both 13 and in 7th grade. He asked me out at the beginning of 7th grade. But I didn't like him like that. But now it's near the end of 7th grade and I'm like in love with him. He knows I like him. But since we are best friends we hang out alot. I've even been inside his house. But if we go out and break up we won't be friends anymore. Because he dated a girl that he had known for a while and then they broke up over something he won't tell me about. Now they are enemies and I don't want it to turn ot that way with us. So wat should I do. I have tried so many advice columns but none replied. Pleeeeeeease help.

And if it doesnt work out between you 2 then it just wasnt meant to be. ask him out and see what happens. i can always answer any questions you have for me! good luck!

Listen, I think that if you like this guy and you are truly friends you should give this thing a chance with him. Now I know it's a great risk to date someone who is your best friend and I know that you don't want to end up enemies like the other girl you mentioned, but if you really want to be with this guy you got to leap. Being afraid that you won't be friends anymore is just going to cause a world of regrets later on. Trust me, I know. There were many guys who I wish now, I had just told I liked. I think you and your friend should have some sort of agreement before you get into your relationship though that even if you relationship goes south you will stay friends.

you could either date him then break up with him and not be friends B U T still have that thought that says, 'I dated a person i liked back then and that's all that matter.'
O R you could NOT date him and regret it for the rest of your life.
if he really cherish you like how best firends should, i think there should be nothing that could stop him from talking to you JUST becasue you twop dated.
-Good luck ;)- [ xiame's advice column | Ask xiame A Question ]
cookierat123 answered Tuesday April 13 2010, 7:46 pm: The best way to approach this situation is my talking to your friend. You say he already knows that you like him, so the hard part is over. Just say something like "Look, you know I like you and to be honest, I want a relationship with you. But I just want to hear from you that if something were to go wrong between us, we'll remain friends" Also, before you talk to him ask yourself how much you like him and how much you're willing to risk to be with him.
advice_therapy_2010 answered Tuesday April 13 2010, 7:12 pm: If you think your in love dont listen to your head listen to your heart dont worry about what could happen worry about what you want to happen if you both like eachother date. even if you guys break up you can still be friends that all just depends on if you brake up on good or bad terms. so my advice is go for it girl dont let yourself be unhappy about what could happen. just be in a realationship and give it all you have and be positive think about the good not the bad.
