writes:I'm deeply in love with my best friend in the entire world, but we don't go to the same school anymore. We still talk to each other every day for hours, but I want to make it something more. I am really compatible with him because we have so much in common, from worrying about school grades and sharing the same goals to liking the same music. I really want to tell him that I like him a lot, but he is a very reserved and conservative person, and it is often difficult to say things that reveal my emotions. Even though we go to different schools, I think that because we care for each other so much, we can find a way to make a relationship work. However, I need to start it off by telling him how I feel, and honestly, I really don't want to say candidly that I like him. Instead, I think that telling him indirectly or through a different way would be best because he is such a conservative person who doesn't like talking much about love. He has never had a girlfriend, but I want to be his first because I see a great future for the both of us. Is there any way to make a long distance relationship work and at the same time use a method to make him understand how much I love him? I know that even though we don't get to see each other everyday, I won't think about anyone but him, and I know a relationship has a potential to work out. How do I tell him in a way that will make him understand?

bookwormabc is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI understand what you are saying, and I now agree 100% that coming out with a straight, honest answer will work best. So how exactly do I say it without making it sound too mawkish or corny? I want to do this in a sophisticated way. We always talk on the ineternet, and we rarely see each other, so when is the best time to say it and how? Thanks so much for your help!

Well, guys don't respond well to hints without misunderstanding everything. I once fancied a girl and she flirting and everything, so I asked her out and it turned out she didn't fancy me. The point is, if you send the wrong signals and don' say anything, he'll be left not have a clue about how you feel. My suggestion would be to either tell him, and then you'll know for sure how you feel, or to ask to meet up, have some fun then tell him. But really, with a long distance relationship and with a guy that is quite shy, you would be better telling him.
