Help?

[MysticalBurrito]

Ok..To make a long story short I like a guy...a lot... But he's a really close friend. And to make things even worse I don't know if he likes girls. I want to tell him it's just that I don't want to ruin the friendship :(
Any advice?

No harm in saying that you like him.

As you are good friends, and he didn't feel the same way, he would let you down gently, though this may make your friendship a little awkward, if you both move on there shouldn't be and reason as to why it would damage the friendship.

Tell him gently, make sure he knows you're not pressuring him, and don't go expecting anything, cos then if it doesn't happen you may get really upset about it, and that could strain your relationship.

Maybe a good way to phrase it would be "Would you ever want to be more than just friends?" because phrased that way it inst committing either of you to anything and you can keep it on your own terms.

Eh.
I don't know if that would work well...
What's a good way of hinting you like the person but not going right into saying it?

Maybe you should try and spend a lot of time with him, and having a great time, you know, letting things happen. The right moment should arise.
About the hinting thing, let some compliments out and stuff like that, perhaps he'll love you too. Best of luck! :)

It worked out well for me, both times!

First time - turns out he WAS gay

Second time - am now dating him and very much so in love (and he is too!)

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagg]

Wow. Reminds me of what happened to me a few months ago. And he was gay. But anyways, I'd def go with what Amy said. That's almost exactly what I did and our friendship is still strong. It's really good advice.

try flirting with him--that'll give u a good idea if he's interested or not and open up opportunities t be more direct

lol it shud b easy to start....simple as commenting on someone when u guys r together somewhere public....."hmm i like that guys shirt--but i think u'd look cuter in it" :P

Tell him. He wont like you any less if he doesnt agree. and if he does then maybe your releationship will go to new levels. just take the risk and be like jimmy i kinda sorta like you. and just listen to his response
