Continue of Best Friends...Confused

[coolkid719]

So I'm pretty much OK with liking a best friend because after all it's just an attraction that I find in a person and that person just happens to be a guy. (thanks Bananasmoothie)

So this best friend is kinda touchy(putting arm over shoulder, massage shoulder, arm grab, even head put on my shoulder)
People have been telling me that he also might be thinking the same as me.
I don't know...
He doesn't seem as interested.

I've been a little bit TOO nice to him these days, maybe it's a bit of a burden to him...
I guess I could use the pull and push method, kinda-ignore-him-and-get-his-attention type of thing.

But the thing is, I kinda feel like I want to tell him how I feel, but that's very, I am VERY awkward...when and where do you guys think is the best time to tell him?

I would say you should tell him one day that it's only the two of you hanging out or something... simply tell him it's very important for you to tell him that...

i agree i think that it should be just you two and just say that whatever happens i still want to be friends or something like that.

Aww it sounds sweet like that :) That's cheered me up and i think you should go for it because it really does sound like his on your level. I can't be 100% accurate just from words but at the end of the day it's whether it's worth taking the risk. Just let him know that you still want to be friends like teenmanchester said, if he doesn't quite agree with you and reassure him that it won't effect yor friendship.

So what is your goal here? Whats wrong with how it is now? You say the friendship is really good, close, and satisfying. It hasnt been discussed and analyzed, and perhaps shouldnt be. YOU need to talk it out, YOU need to express in uncomfortable detail how you see things, YOU want to somehow end your confusion and uncertainty by sharing it with him.

Personally, I would not do that. I would not force the issue. I would not burden the friendship with this awkward, dangerous move. I would somehow work out MY issues without burdening him and taking an unnecessary risk.

You say its good. Respect that. Dont endanger it. Cherish what you have. At least thats what feels right to me. It may well grow and develop on its own without you "interfering" with what for him seems to be a natural process.
