**Best Friend Told me he liked me**

My best friend Roberto and i have been friends since middle school (and we are seniors now) and we are really close. We both recently got the two lead roles in our school muscial in which we are a couple (and we have to kiss at the end). He is so sweet,he has never even had a girlfriend before, he is a virgin (which isnt a problem), he is a 4.0 student and just the complete oposite of me..until it comes to music...then we are on the same page. Anyway, i recently found out that he really likes me but was way too shy to tell me mainly because he knows all about my boyfriend of almost a year. He called me yesterday and told me that he didnt want things to be akward but that he had to talk to me because he couldnt stop thinking about me and our situation i guess. He asked me if i liked him and i said no. because i really dont think i do i mean i love being around him and he is my best friend but i cant see myself with him and i think that the only reason why i'm questioning it is because me and my boyfriend are on bad terms right now so i guess i like the attention but i dont want to tell him i like him and mess up our friendship...but at the same time i really dont know what i am feeling...what do i do..i need help asap. we have practice everyday and he isn't gonna stop talking about it....

HELP????

The best thing is to be honest with him. Tell him that you love and adore him as a friend and that you are flattered with the attention, but you are involved with someone and your feelings towards Roberto and not on a romantic level.

Failure to tell him will just lead him on and eventually hurt him more ruining a great friendship.

O.o

Well.... ty everyone. I do try from time to time and sometimes I might get it right too

Yea i understand what you are saying but you have no idea how hard it is...im so scared that i am going to mess up our friendship or it will make things akward or we wont be as close as we are now and i really do love being around him. Its just really hard to talk about with him because the last thing i want to do is hurt him.

Alright so...
i told him everything. and when i say everything i mean everything.
i told him that i think i mite like him too but only because me and my bf are on bad terms and because now that we both got the lead in the musical we are spending a lot more time together and that may explain it but he is being really understanding about the entire thing and idk i just really feel like im in the dark right now and i dont know what i am going to do. Me and my bf are back on good terms because we had a good long talk but i still feel like i am starting to like him but i really love my bf...it just seems i like roberto because he is da sweet guy that my boyfriend isnt and my bf is the tough guy that bobby isnt....what do i do>?
