Maybe I Like Him...?

this is going to be pathedic, and i know you guys must be tired of hearing this, but just need to get this out.

i have a friend. a guy friend. he's one of my best friends. we've been unseperable for three years straight. but we're nothing more than that. we never felt anything stronger. until the other day.
we were getting ready to do a show (guard) and our instructor wanted us to relax. we all got into a circle and held hands. well i held hands with this boy, my friend. and right at that moment, this feeling came over me. a feeling that i never felt for him before. and...i think i might have the slightest crush on him. but i don't want to ruin our friendship...because we do everything together and if we ever did get together, we would sooner or later break up. i don't want to lose my world. i just want to know if theres anyway to delay these feelings for him...because i am not going to screw up this relationship...
but we're both going to different schools next year, and i can't leave him with the feeling that we could've been something. i'm just so confused...and i'm going to miss him so much.

i just needed to get that out. sorry for annoying some of you =P

well, out of nowhere everyone is starting to make fun of my friend because we hang out all of the time. i'm afraid he'll leave before school is over...maybe if he's really a good friend he'll stick through it. but if you were in this situation, would you leave or stay, considering EVERYONE in school is making fun of you?

Just ignore everyone, they're only trying to get a reaction. They'll shut up soon. As for your first post, it's hard to say. If you think you are going to regret not making something of this, then just talk to him. Maybe he feels the same.

Stay friends for now.. tell him you do like him though but don't want to lose your friendship eith him.. Express your feelings and get it off your chest.

thanks everyone...sorry for being so ridiculous.
but i really appreciate your posts XD

My suggestion would be to do absolutely nothing. Give your feelings some time. If you are absolutely sure that you have strong feelings for your friend. Then persue it.

i figured out that i like him just as friends. and i realize that i only felt that way when he held my hand...because i still miss my ex-boyfriend terribly and it reminded me so much of the good times we had...
but thank you everyone for helping me XD
