my best friend is a guy. and we have been friends for such a long time. we tell each other everything, never holding anything back. we can be on the phone for hours, hangout alone, and have so much fun together. but i really haven't realized i had romantic feelings for him until this year, and i don't know what to do about it. he's had a string of failed relationships. he always needs to be with someone. he's now back with his ex girlfriend. they fight all the time but they continue to see each other. they aren't dating yet, they are "together" i feel like i'd be perfect for him. we never fight. i know to act around him, i know how to handle him, we complement each other. but i'm scared to tell him, because i'm afraid he'll be creeped out and not want to talk to me again. i want him to see me in that way. but i don't know how because he's with his ex again. i don't understand why he doesn't see me as a potential love interest, i know he thinks i'm pretty, he's told me before. i just don't know what do from here. someone please help!

The main thing to do is be casual. Don't act weird or it will be weird for the both of you. If you think you can't to him about this face to face then text him. Bring things up that will hint hint your new romantic interest in him and see what he says back. Tell him how you feel about his "girlfriend" makes you feel and then somewhere in there tell him how you think that you and him should give it a shot. It's worth a try and the worst that could happen is him saying can we just stay friends and that is better than not being friends at all. You need to have confidence and don't be scared to tell your best friend anything. That is why the two of you are friends in the first place. GOOD LUCK!!!
