I have a minor problem....

    I have a minor problem... I really like my best guy friend. We have known eachother for four or five years and we always have funny hanging out and stuff. He is so funny and sweet but I don't think he feels the same way. How can you tell you best friend that you like them without causing a weirdness between you and them? or How can you tell if they like you without asking?

    Just tell him how you feel.. Maybe he feels the same about you but he's not sure if you feel the same.. If you dont take the chance you'll never know... =)

    Well there is no way to tell your best friend that without the relationship becoming a bit weird. That's bound to happen anyway. But you can tell if they like you or not. It's just the way he would look at you. It's different then looking at a friend...kind of hard to explain.

    But I really think the best is to ask him how he feels about you, or better yet tell him how you feel about him. 'Cause you never know what could happen.

    Well it's especially hard because we have been friends for so long. He gives me hugs all the time and he always talks to me. I had a problem a few weeks ago with a guy and he asked who it was and I wouldn't tell him and he got mad because I wouldn't let him take care of it.

    Wow umm my best friend went out with her best guy freidn and everything went bye bye... it was sad. they aren't friends anymore. But like I went out with a guy bestfriend and afterwards we weren't such good freinds but we stil remained close.So I mean..... Decide what you want more-- the same friendship or more. Good luck.

    Honestly?

    Wait a little. If he ever drops hints now and again that may give an impression he has feelings for you, then talk to him about it. Don't put your friendship in jeopardy. Make it clear before you say anything about your feelings that you don't want to ruin your friendship if things don't work out between you to. Unless you're utterly embarrassed and can't bare to look at his face afterwards.

    Good luck.

    Oh, and I should add, these feelings you're having may be because you've known him for a quite a while. The way he's making you laugh all the time and how he's so kind and sensitive, blah blah blah. I mean, you may be entirely wrong about him after you've dated and spoken to each other about how you feel - it happens. So don't get your hopes up to quick.

    Situations like this are always awkard becuz if you dont tell him your just going to keep feeling the same way and your always going to be in doubt...feelings like this are bound to come up when you know someone for such a long time and spend so much time with them. On the other hand you need to think about what kind of friend he is...how would he act if you tell him you like him and he doesnt feel the same way or what if he does and then yall break up...is it worth losing a great friendship over it? Sorry i probably confused you even more but its just a thought.

    Well when a guy likes a girl there is just something in the way he looks at her. My girl is always telling me: "There's that look again". He is always spending time with you. If offered the chance he'll spend time with you rather than someone else. The hugging is always a good sign. Before my girl and I went out I was always giving her hugs. I'm not sure if that's a typical guy thing though. I'm not a typical guy.
