I Think I Like Him But I'm Not Sure


Question Posted Monday April 23 2012, 5:16 pm

There is this guy I've been best friends with for 5 years now and I know the saying that all best friends eventually fall in love. Well I think I'm starting to like him but I'm not really sure. I guess I'll have to give it time but he is not the type that would admit likeing a girl. He has never had a girlfriend and is shy on that side of things. But he makes me happy and has never let me down. What should I do? If I tell him I like him now and he doesn't back, things could get real ackward. Thanks.

Hey there,
Okay If I were you I would give it time.
These feelings you are having for him might pass or they might develop more.
As you say you are not quite sure at the moment and that's okay.
About three years ago I was in a similar situation. I started to like my best friend but I was a bit sceptical in case he didn't like me back. and I would ruin the friendship I gave it a month or two to see if my feelings were real. I found that I couldn't stop thinking about him no matter how hard I tried. So I took the risk and it paid off. We are still together to this day.
Give it time. Then you have to decide whether its worth it or not. Look for signs that he likes you back like obvious flirting body language etc.
You need to decide whether to put yourself out there or not. Of course there are obvious pros and cons and you have to be prepared for both. If he truly values your friendship and doesn't feel the same way he shouldn't let it come between you two forever.
Sure things will be awkward for a while but then they will go back to normal. Again I had an experience with this before. It was 6th grade I told my really good friend I liked him but he didn't feel the same..he was awkward for a while then it just went back to normal :)
Good luck with whatever you choose to do. Hope I helped
