Question - (3 March 2012) 3 Answers - (Newest, 3 March 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

We've known each other for nearly two years, I've always liked him from day one but he had a long term gf so obviously done nothing about it but they broke up 6months ago. Now we are both single we spend a lot of time together hanging out and we text none stop, he doesn't know I like him like that. I don't know if I should take a chance and tell him I have feelings for him and risk a great friendship if he doesn't feel the same back, im so confused on what to do. He's always cuddling me, telling me im pretty and awesome etc he's such a friendly guy so im not sure if he's just being nice. Im not very confident and pretty shy but when around him he brings the best out of me, I've been single nearly 3yrs after my ex cheated on me I've been nervous about finding any one else now im 23 he's 21 I feel like im ready for a relationship again. Does anyone know of any way I can tell if he likes me the same way or is it a case of either being honest or just ignoring my feelings in case he doesn't like me more than friendship? Sooo confused!!!

Uncle PJ agony auntFrom what you've said, it would seem that there is a possibility that he may like you too. The constant complimenting and the cuddling seem a little more friendly than just friends.

But the only way you will know for sure is to bite the bullet and ask him. The only problem is, are you willing to risk a lot to possibly gain even more?

You already know that if/when you tell him how you feel about him and he doesn't feel the same, it could potentially end your current friendship or at least make it slightly awkward.

But if you don't tell him how you feel and he ends getting married or whatever in years to come, will you be there thinking that could have been me if I had taken the courage to tell him?

So it would seem you have a hard bit of thinking to do. It is an unenviable position to be in but it could be a potentially very rewarding one. As I said there are signs that he could very like you so I would give it a go. Hope this helps. I wish you all the luck in making your decision and hope you get what you want.

I think you should tell him. but i would make sure he is over his Ex. If you rush into it and hes not ready hes going to just blow you off. You may want a relationship. You havnt been in one for a while, but he may still be dealing with his emotions. If you were going to bring this up too him, i would do it when you two are cuddling. I would straight up tell him basically how you feel about him. Just make sure when you do it he is ready. Other wise it wont end good.
