Okay well here is the thing.

My bestfriend and I have been very close since we met about 12 years ago. For the longest time we knew we were really close friends and could tell each other everything.

But well recently I have started seeing him differently, I am falling for him. He is funny and smart and honestly, trustworthy, and basically the only guy i trust in the world well besides my dad and brothers.

So well i really dont know what to do. If i tell him i like him and he doesnt feel the same it is going to make it awkward between us.

If i tell him i like him and he does like me back we may go out and then break up most likely ending the friendship we have now.

If i dont say anything i feel i will lose my mind thinking about the "what ifs". I am hopelessly confused at this point and it makes it worse that my brother is good friends with him as well and does not like me spending time with him because he is his friend. HELP ME PLEASE!

You do not need a boyfriend at your age. Relationships at that age are superficial and short lived. Friendship is forever and one of your strongest tools to get you through high school. You can revisit perusing a relationship when you are older and the feelings of infatuation evolve into something more real and loving. Ignore your teenage hormones and keep your best friend - true friends are hard to come by and you will meet plenty of boys you will like who are less complicated. If it is meant to be, it will happen when it is ready to. You are so young, enjoy life without the complication of a relationship.

awww :) Thing's like this happen ... you start to have feelings :) Well tell him ... he might share some feelings for you too ;) He might just say that he wants it to stay as it is ... this is not a bad thing he just likes

you like a good bestie :) Or maybe he may be not ready,un-shure,frightened..youve been friends for such a long time so he might feel awkward...but soon or later he would see you as not only a friend ... xD
