This boy and I have been friends for 5 years going on 6 and he is one of my best friends. We know a lot about each other and I am starting to like him! I'm freaking out because if I tell him and he doesn't like me back I don't know how he would react. He has never had a girlfriend and never admitted to any crushes, maybe it's because we are so close but he doesn't seem like the boyfriend type. Such as we've only hugged a few times because he doesn't like them but we have shared chairs, gotten tangled up in twister, and so many other things. I don't know what kind of boyfriend he would make but he makes me happy and I love talking to him because we have so much in common and have lot of stories to tell each other. I guess what I want to know is if every guy has that boyfriend side to him and what should I do about this? Thanks!
