A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Okay so i think im in love with my best guy friend

He's 17 and Im 15 and he's gonna be senior next year while im gonna be a sophmore.

He asked me out at the beggining of the year but i turned him down cause i was too busy for a boy friend.

He's been with me thru everything even my screwed up past relationship and i think i tottally scared him off after i broke up with my ex and then told him i din't wanna be involved in another toxic relationship for awhile. *sigh*

What do i do?

Do i tell him i like him? or just let it go and try to move on?

It just sucks having to see him everyday and gah, it sucks.

Opinions are welcomed.

My friend asked me out a couple of moths ago and i turned him down, then i regretted it but we became closer and we got to know each other a a lot more and then he asked me out again like a month ago and i didn't know whether to say yes or no because our friendship is really great. Anyway,i said yes and i said that i didn't know he still liked me and he said that he always had. So what I'm trying to say is that your best friend may still like you. Does he have a girlfriend? If he doesn't then may be he still likes you.

I look back at these last couple of months and i can now see hints that he did like me. I suggest you give him a hint to ask you out again. Don't be so blunt about it because may be he's gotten over it and you may just make things awkward. Give him a general hint....You'll think of something=)

I started liking him way before me and my ex started dating

It took awhile to get to know him and when I finnally did learn he was a great guy that i could potentially have a good long term relationship it was too late.

Dear annonymous female age 15:

The question I have for u is when did u start having the feelings for him? Was it after u and ur boyfriend were thru? Is ur best friend dating other girls? It does make a difference. I've been through something similar, when I was younger. I just couldn't imagine myself dating my best friend, or even kissing him. Then he started dating someone and I got jealous. Much later we tried to kiss each other, it really felt like I was kissing my brother. It didn't feel right.

Then there are other times when that is exactly how relationships start as best friends. That is one of the best relationships one can have is to have a friend first. You need to find out what out your motives are for the relationship with him. Maybe u had not thought of it yet and they he was adhead of u. Once he opened up the idea, then it finally hit u that u really cared.

U need to search urself and decide. If u really like him, then u need to tell him. If he's dating someone serious, then u probably have to wait it out.

Writing in a journal or just writing ur feelings on paper help get ur feelings our and can help solve ur dilemma. Good luck. Tell me what u decide.

baybee-x-sparkii agony auntif he makes anymore signs of still liking you i dont see why you can't go for it and tell him, obviously if you have the confidence in you you could bring it up in conversation if it swings that kinda of way. see how it goes though, if you two are good friends you dont want to ruin it by rushing in too quick (like i did) x
