i want what i can't have

i like my best friend, ive liked him since last year. i want to tell him how i feel, but i dont want to affect the friendship we have. but at the same time, i could be missing out on something great. i know ( or at least i think) he doesnt feel the same about me..he says im like a sister to him...thats all, but the thing is, when ever we talk about "us" ( cause sometimes its brought up) i tell him that nothing will ever happen between us..and he tells me thats not true, ive told my friends this and they say he's sending me mixed signals. and even if he just wants to stay friends, how can i get over him? blah this sucks

I think that in most situations the best way to get what you want is to ask for it. As you said, he's sending you mixed signals but that may be because he doesn't have a clear understanding of what your intentions might be. I'd suggest you have a frank discussionwith him but be prepare for the outcome either way. I really don't know how you would "get over him" if you remain friends.

Here is what happened with 2 friends, Michelle and Rob who worked as a sales team and travelled together in the course of their work. During the years they worked together they developed a solid friendship and strong working relationship. They shared hotel rooms but never even shared a kiss. But then Michelle's feelings began to change. One morning when they were headed to a trade show together, she pulled the car off the road and stopped. Then she looked at Rob and said. "I just can't hold this in any longer, Rob. I need to know how you would feel about taking our relationship to a whole different level. Rob said that lately he had been thinking the same thing but he just hadn't decided how to approach her about it. From that moment everything changed and 6 months later they were married.

If Michelle had not taken the initiative to tell Rob what she was feeling, both of them might still be in a state of confusion about each other.

typical guy...mixed signals :) lol i no what ur talking about but like ive said a billion times on here take chances...do what to look back when its too late and ask your self all them what ifs?

Honestly, If you don't tell him there is know way he is going to know. I just did the very thing you are contemplating a couple of weeks ago. Granted that didn't work out (we promised to stay friends), you'll never what is going to happen un less you take the chance and open up to him. who knows, he might like you back.
