Is he just a close friend?

    Hey....well i have this really close guy friend, and after knowing him for 4 years, I've suddenly started to like him as more than a friend. This year, we've been closer than ever, and some of our mutual friends say he likes me...BUT I have no idea what to believe...
    the school year is almost done...and he hasn't told me...ALSO..we had a fight...which has lasted almost a WHOLE month...and we have not talked to each other directly....we both know that neither 1 of us is mad at each other, but we are both stubborn, and put our egos first..lol
    I think that IF he did like me...he would have continued to try and end our fight, not just apologizing the 1st day of the fight:S....now his best friend is saying that he is always asking about me..and really wants to talk to me...but wants ME to talk to him first:S..
    there are so many mixed signals...i have no idea what to believe..maybe I should end the fight, but I don't think I should, because (not pointing fingers)...it was not my fault...
    any advice?....I'd really appreciate it..
    thanks =)

    We would talk about...honestly..EVERYTHING...i trusted him with all my secrets, what i believed, all my thoughts. One day, i told him about something really personal...and it was about me and a girl i hated...and why we didnt talk and other stuff...it may seem stupid...but i really dont like this girl...hated seeing her...and hated hearing her name...so one day he asks me about her...(he heard about her from somewhere:S)...and so i decide to tell him...and he promises not to tell ANYONE...
    a couple of days later...he continues to ask about her...and i keep telling him not to talk to me about her...because i can't stand her...and he tells these other 2 guys about everything i told him...and then other people found out..and everything got even bigger...sooo...i decided not to talk to him for a bit...cause i thought i could trust him...but apparently i was wrong..and that night...he asked me about it..and he was liek...he told 2 people..and he didn't do anything wrong:S...
    so yea...but like this past week...we've been smiling at each other...but no talking..
    and i'm in grade 12...aso school is almost over...his best friend told me he was gonna ask me to prom...but i dont think its gonna happen anymore..
    yea it doesnt matter who started it...but i trusted him with something really personal..and by the way...i never told ANYONE else about it...and yea...
    i dunno...

    It's obviously your decision, but people make mistakes, right?

    I know you told him not to tell anyone, but at the same time you have to realize that guys think differently than girls when it comes to certain topics. I'm sure he didn't realize how big of a deal it was to you that no one knew about what you told him.

    At the same time I think he should have apologized more than once after realizing how badly you were hurt.

    But, you still like him a lot right? At least that's what I got from your first post. If that's true then you're going to have to forget what's happened in the past and try to trust him again. It seems obvious that he still likes you, and if I were you I would try to at least get back on talking terms with him and see where things go from there.

    If you don't make up before the end of the school year you could loose him from your life forever, and I'm sure that's the last thing you want.

    ^ "If you don't make up before the end of the school year you could loose him from your life forever, and I'm sure that's the last thing you want."

    Bingo...

    I know you're both stubborn people... believe me I can relate to that... but it's true. If you don't act now and you both graduate without ever dating, you'll always be wondering what could've happen, and it'll eat you alive... if you both.. TRUELY like each other.. or maybe more than that... you have to put your pride (ego) aside and resolve the situation before it's too late....

    If you're going to be a couple, couples fight no matter what, it's inevitable as any couple will tell you... One person will be right, one person will wrong, or both might be right or both might be wrong, but in the end that's not the important part. What's important that you are able to resolve and learn from what has happened, and when it is all said and done it'll make your bond that much stronger =)

    oh wow...thank you guys so much...
    next time he's online...or i see him at school...i'll smile and say hi..lol...that'll be a lot of progress..haha..
    but yea...i appreciate all your comments...
    but i dont think we'll go out...cause im not sure im gonna stay in Ontario, Canada (where we live...and where hes gonna go to uni) for university...
    but yea i do like him a lot...AND i would want to have a long distant relationship with him....just cause i've never met anyone like him before (one i can tell anything to...one who wont judge me..or anyone so amazing)...I don't fall in love easily..lol...just incase some of you are judging me and think that i do...
    but yea...i would want to have a relationship with him...but im not sure it would work out..
    maybe after i say hi...we'll pick up our friendship.......and then what?...should i tell him i like him?...tell him im not staying in canada for uni:S:S..

    You say you like him? Yet you keep from speaking to him out of pride alone?

    Why don't you be the adult in this situation?

    ^ She just finished saying that she was going to start talking to him again and be the bigger person...

    i think that you should just try and get your friendship back on track...he seems like a great guy for the most part, and i know i wouldnt want to lose that sort of person you've described. personally, i wouldnt tell him you like him - build the friendship back up first if you tell him at all....but telling him about university would be alright - friends tell other friends about that sort of stuff anyways, right?

    best of luck

    Your little bicker is immature. Get over it, be the better person, APOLOGIZE. See where such a magical thing can take you.

    okay...
    i honestly tried today...
    we have 2 classes together...and my school isn't big..so we see each other in the halls ALL the time..
    I made eye contact with him...so that I could smile at him...but everytime we had eye contact...he would look away. I have no idea what to do...or what to think now..
    I have a feeling that our friendship is ruined for good...
    ergh...i hate myself for getting mad at him...

    K so these few days..
    ive been trying pretty hard
    i make eye contact..
    smile..
    said thank you when he held the door open for me..
    but it doesnt seem liek hes trying..
    i have a feeling that it wont work out...and our friendship is ruined forever...
    maybe this is how it was supposed to be..
    he shows no sign...and when people tell him to talk to me..he acts all shy..
    i mean....i agree to talk to him...but when the time comes to talk to him...he leaves..or goes to his car or w.e..

    I agree, end the fight, tell him whos boss, but him in his place. CHances are he does like you but is to nervous to do anything about it.... so end the fight and start new
