Any advice?

Ok, I am very very confused. I have been close friends with this guy for the last year and a half. Yeah we've had fall outs, and some things annoy me about him but we're pretty close. For the last couple of months my friends have all been saying about how sweet we'd be together, and this has all really really really confused me. Because now I'm thinking about whether I like him in that way and I honestly just don't know. I don't know if the part of me that thinks I do is only thinking that because someone suggested it to me. And half of me says it wont work because although we really get on, sometimes we don't.... And another bit of me wonders if I do actually fancy him anyway and I don't know if I do! How can you not know???

And there's the whole well if I do like him, does he actually like me back? Because people say he does but I think he's just as confused as I am.

Yet for some reason I just want to give it a try. But I don't know how to tell/ask him or anything like that. And I don't know if this is a really really really stupid risk as I might just end up ruining the great friendship we have already....

Oh I am so very very confused...

My best advice to you right now is to just let it be. Just be friends, and if something happens in the future well then all the luck in the world to you, but for now, just have fun as friends. Sometimes friends just say things to bug you or embarrass you, or maybe they think that you guys like each other in that way. Whatever it is, since you're this confused about it it's best to just leave it alone - for now anyways. I've had friends tell me lots of times that they think that me and my guyfriend would be a good couple, but they just say that because I don't hang out with a lot of guys and this is new to them. But yeah, lol, just give it time. Who knows ;)

DON'T CHANGE THE RELATIONSHIP. From prior experience, I know what that turns into. It will ruin a wonderful friendship. Believe me, if you realize things he does wrong now, they will be like neon lights if you date him. You would KNOW if you liked him. I promise. Please take my advice. I don't know you but I'm just looking out for you.

Don't go out of your way to change it. But perhaps if you both actually have that 'more than friendship' feeling, than something will happen on it's own. If you want it to happen, then let it. Until then, don't change things.

I was in the same situation you are in now.
I thought that me and this guy I''m really really close to could be great for eachother and so did everyone else.
I asked him about and he said he couldn't and wouldn't go out.
So in the end we are closer than ever.
What I'm saying is...Ask him what he thinks.and see if he feels the same way then go for it,but if he doesn't then just leave it at that.there is no since in loosing a great friend over it.

im going through the same thing with my close friend but i knw i like him so i told him and we are still close friends it all depends on him if he is ok with knowing how u feel and still be ok with it and being friends even though you might like him i think you should ask him wat he thinks and im sure together ya'll can figure something out

Hey guys thanks for the advice, now though I'm pretty sure he likes me and I think I really do too...

But I'm just going to wait and see how things happen..

Thanks again,
