Crush On Best Friend

[Durlacher]

I have the biggest crush in the world on my best friend, and I don't know what to do about it. It's been like this for over a year now, but we've been friends for so long that it makes it hard to tell him. I know he's bi, but I don't want him to be like, "Oh I don't think we should mess up our friendship" or anything like that. Any advice? :confused:

Well, you don't know someones reaction until you tell them. So I suggest making that move and saying that you like him, like that. You never know he may like you back, or he may not and if he doesnt keep looking! If you don't think you can tell him face to face, text him, or if you have him on IM message him. Or even write him a note or something, it's been a year that you've had a crush on him, let it out.

Hanging out with him, Txt/call him when you have time, send messages, IM each otherr as much as you can. They are the key things to do. If you start feeling a strong connection to each other, tell him how you feel.

Buikd your way up. You don't have to tell him right away. When you start to hang out, txt/call each other a lot more, that bond will build up and when you feel like its the right time, tell him (I kinda said that alrady lol) Just start getting to know him more. You may have been friends woth him for a long time, but there are things you probably still don't know.

Or you could hint like ask him if he likes anybody, or flirt.

I had the same problem last year except I didn't think she was bi. I just told her straight out that I liked her, that was my way of coming out that I myself was bi. At first she was just surprised but, she flirted with me and we ended up going out. Just make sure he is the type of guy you would want to date and go for it. Don't date him if you don't know him that well you may make mistakes like I did. :( </3

I have a crush on my best friend too, and I told them. It went well, but we are still just friends.

If you are truly best friends he won't let your crush screw up anything.

This.

Contrary to most people's belief, telling your friend about your crush on them is actually perfectly healthy and in some cases necessary. As Siobhan said, its been A YEAR. You can't just bottle that up for that long and not tell anyone! If he's really your friend, he'll understand that your crush is just a crush, and he won't let that affect your friendship.

Speaking from personal experience, I had a crush on a good friend and let her know about it - we hooked up once or twice, but she said she just didn't feel the same way about me. And you know what? Things weren't weird after that. I still had a crush on her, and she was well aware, but we just continued having a fun friendship and not thinking anything of it.
