ok, so I have this guy friend who I have fallen hard for. He has no idea how much I like him. I want to tell him how I feel, but I'm afraid it will upset him or scare him, and he will not want to even be friends with me anymore. If anyone has a good way telling him without ruining our friendship, that would be great. Thanks in advance :) oh, and he is also a firm believer in the saying "actions speak louder than words". In case that changes anything

There is also nothing wrong going for something that you really really want. If his saying is that "Actions speak louder than words", then it might be time that you did just that. Flirt with him a bit. Be as causal as possible but show him that you're not scared to show him how you really feel. If you see signs that tell you he is flirting back and may like you also then that would be the time you say something about how you really feel and the worst thing that can happen is him saying all he wants to do is be friends and except that. It better than nothing. Have confidence and all should go well. GOOD LUCK!!! [ inevitable_pain16's advice column | Ask inevitable_pain16 A Question ]

That's not to say there aren't times when taking the risk is worth it, but if he does not reciprocate those feelings, it's going to make the friendship very difficult and probably end it.
At the same time, many of the best romances I've ever seen have started as friendships. If you are not at a point where you are ready for a commitment with him, I'd hang with the friendship. [ bliz's advice column | Ask bliz A Question ]
