What should i do?

[vanmartin]

I've had a crush on one of my girl best friends since i was in 5th grade. Since 8th grade we haven't been able to hang out or talk as much as we used to before. Whenever we do hangout though, we have a lot of fun. One reason that we don't talk as much is because i had to move and change schools a couple years ago, i still live close though, only about ten miles away and we both have our own cars. Another reason is that she is busy. The last time we hung out, last Saturday, we had lunch, went shopping for a little, had coffee, and went bowling. All of this lasted about six hours. I really liked being able to hang out with her and i think that she liked it too. I would like to keep talking and hanging out with her because i want to be best friends with her again but when we have started talking and hanging out again before, something happens and we don't talk for a couple months. This might just happen because she is busy but can i do anything to try and be best friends again. Also, when we have started talking and hanging out again I wonder if she might like me as more than a friend. How could i tell if she likes as a best friend or as a boyfriend?

Just try and speak to each other more, with the internet Facebook and even skype it should be easier to stay in touch, build the friendship back up and then talk to her Tell her how you feel!
This is all there is to it really, be honest and hope for the best.

I know things like this can wreck friendships so be tactile if the response isn't what you're hoping for, you clearly have a good bond with her.

Hope this helped, if you need anything else let us know :)
