A female reader, Emilysanswers United Kingdom +, writes (9 September 2009):

Oh no! She needed you and you put your arms round her when she was vulnerable and felt like a man.....

Vulnerability is THE most attractive thing in the world to nice men like you. It happens all the time.

You feel great when you can make her happy and she makes you feel needed and appreciated.

So you need to tell her how you feel now. If you don't, you risk being put so far into the friend zone and both of you being too scared to do anything about it, and both of you being miserable.

So tell her that you can't stop thinking about you, and you are scared to tell her because you don't want to spoil what you have but you can't lie and carry on being her mate and pretend to be happy when she gets a boyfriend.

You might both need to back away from each other for a while to make sure this isn't an infatuation from being too familiar, but take it slow and this might be something wonderful.

Good Luck!! xx
