Josh, boyfriend or brother?


Question Posted Saturday April 6 2013, 12:44 am

Ok well on April 1 my best guy friend (he's like a brother to me) at school was being stupid and was dared to jump off of his swing-set backwards and he broke both of his arms and had compound fractures. I cried so bad when I found out, I cried more then anybody I'm so worried about him. His sister sent me a picture of him in the hospital and I cried SO BAD! I'm beginning to wonder if I know him as a brother or a boyfriend. What do you think?

You'll know when you start seeing him as more than just a friend.
It is possible that you could just see him as a brother and since you've been so close to him that him being hurt, hurts you.
Of course, sometimes when bad things happen and you realize that you could lose someone, it shows you that you could possibly see them as something more.

Either way, it's ok to see him as either. You'll figure out how you feel for him once he's feeling better.

It is possible that you see him both as a boyfriend and someone who is as close to you as a brother.

If you have known him say since early childhood or for many years before you started to be interested in boys for dating. It would not be unusual to see Josh as both a great close friend, like a brother and develop a love interest as well.

The biggest problem here is in developing a love interest. It is possible he does not see you that way. It is also possible he does see you that way and if you two go down that road should it not work for you then you both lose a great friend.

My advice is to be careful about going down the road toward a love interest. This road has many pitfalls that can, has and could lead to the loss of a great friend.

While you're thinking about this just be a good friend to Josh while his body mends.
