Close Guy Friend

[hipster_girl19]

So I have this really good guy friend who I've known since I was like 5 and there has been no awkwardness between us until now. Cause I think he kinda likes me and I don't know if I like him or not and were together all the time like most of the time alone cause we hang ALL THE TIME he lives right next to me. And when ever were alone I'm afraid he's gonna bring up something I need some advice NOW

Do you also like him, but in a friend way or a boy friend way?

If you dont like him, like that just tell him that ''I just wanna be friends''... after that he will leave you alone and find another girl. But you can still be friends and hang out with him, but he wont talk to you in a sexual way.

Another thing could be, his hormone's in his body are acting up and making him really horny with puberty going on.

I agree with princess, but both of you are going through hormonal changes and its just puberty, if you want to remain friends, that's great, give it a little while. Don't do anything you don't want to do.

As much as the "I just wanna be friends" thing is a good idea, I've talked to many guys that have been absolutely crushed by that answer. A few friends of mine have actually taken the leap, a few regret it, a few don't. It really is up to how strong your friendship is, and if you can see him as more.

In terms of it stopping him from seeing you sexually, telling him just friends won't change how he sees you if it is sexual. All guys will see someone as sexual, before, after, and during. Give him a little taste, and he will probably want more. Give him a lot, and he will probably think your dating. Give him none, and he will probably continue to want to pursue you.

Crush his hopes, and it will change the friendship. Give him hope and it will change the friendship. So before he dares take a chance, you need to figure out how you want to be seen from this point on. Friends? Besties? friends with benefits? Boyfriend/girlfriend? Neighbors? Once you decide that, tell him in really plain, simple english (or whatever language you speak.) Boys tend to not understand hints or suggestions.

Examples:

"Hey, (dude) I know we are getting older and you are getting certain feelings. Thats ok, I'll even talk to you about it. But, I think talking is all I want right now. Not a boyfriend, or anything else. It might be hard to hear this, but its how I feel right now. So whatever happens lets be friends for the time being and maybe in a few years we can check things out again."

or

"Hey, (dude) I know you might be having some feelings for me, and I think thats kinda cool, because I kinda like you too. But I'm not ready to do a whole lot, so lets take this slow. And whatever may happen, lets always be friends."

or

"As your best friend I want to be here for you no matter what. So as long as you can keep things separated and not want to date me, I'll let you learn about girls, if you let me learn about boys. You know, kinda like a friends with benefits type of thing. Just experimenting."

It is probz because your bodies are changing now and it would seem awkward for awhile but it passes
