Love problem...?

I've been friends with this guy for a while and we've become so close that we literally treat each other as if we were siblings. He's so wonderful to me and we are almost always somewhere near each other at school. I really loved our friendship and was very grateful for it. However, a close friend of both of ours talked to him the other day and he told her that he really liked me and has a crush on me. She tried to get him to tell me and he actually did mention he wanted to tell me sumtin though he hasnt told me yet. I'm very surprised by this...and confused because i nvr thought any one of us would even consider liking each other like that. I dont even know what I feel for him anymore. Mom has actually talked to me about him and told me if he ever proposed she'd be over the moon with joy. but i nvr took anyone seriously when they talked bout us. now i dont know what to do...evn if i do feel the same way.its very hard for us to be together and im afraid of being hurt. comments?

    Eh, you gotta think about what you want out of this... If you like being friends with him, then don't even consider hooking up.

    The way you talk about the situation gives me the impression that you really don't have much of an interest in him in more than a friends kind of way.

    I think! That you should just go about doing what you're doing and let everything simply fall into place! Yay!

    If you are comfortable with the way your relationship is now, just tell him this. If you are not ready to take the relationship to the next level, then explain this to him. Make sure you tell him you really care about him, but you are not ready to be more than friends right now. Not to say in the future things will change. Tell him your feelings and fears of being hurt. You have to do what you feel comfortable with. Pushing a good friendship into something more too soon could be devastating. You BOTH need to be ready for the commitment and the changes that come with it. If he is truly your friend, he will understand. Good luck.

    Hmmmmm. Well its really hard to say. I understand what your going through. Been there my self many yrs ago. I had a friend like that to. He was the greatest person on earth. He always had my back no matter what . Even if I had problems with my boyfriend , he would be there for me to cry on his shoulder and always loving advice! He asked me to be his girlfriend and of course the love he had for me ,,,I had for him. I wont lie and say it was easy because with dating there was problems of course and the difference was I couldn't talk to my best Friend (him) any more cause it was about our problems. There is always a chance when it comes to love that things might not work out and understandably your worried, you could have so much to gain and also have so much to loose. I was lucky after a yr of dating my best friend, welllllllllllllllll we have been happily married for 16 1/2 yrs , with 2 great kids. Life is short and sometimes you just have to take a chance and have a little faith. If its meant to be it will be!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK

    Do you trust this boy? Why do you think he would intentionally hurt you? I would say let the cards fly. You might end up finding the love of your life. Just take things slowly and see if there is chemistry. Sometimes a great friend can be an even greater mate!

    sometimes the best friendships turn out to be your true love...me and my husband were friends...talked everyday for hours about nothing, and now were married...u have to take chances in life. never know, this could be the one for u. if u dont like him like that, then dont go out with him, but if u do, and u say no...ur going to be wondering someday "what if i had said yes to him? where would i be?"

    just something to think about. good luck sweetie and have a great day :D

    I'm sorry but this answer might not help. just 2 months ago I had a best friend. She was everything to me and i really liked her. When the time came i told her. now.......we don't talk anymore. *sniff* as it turns out she didn't like me that way. the same way you probably like your friend. its just friends not love.

    hi, relationships require commitment to work and the commitment must be mutual.

    it sounds like he has put the wheels in motion by talking to your Friend , unfortunately things cannot be like they were you need to openly and honestly discuss what the two of you want and expect of each other.

    i hope it all works out for you both

    I had the same problem, i found that i really loved him and thought it might work but then i realised i knew to much about him to be ina relatioship, then though about us making love and felt sick! Realised he was my best friend like a brother and i felt awful as he liked me and i thought i liked him , that can ruin your relationship.

    follow your intuition and people get hurt part of life so take a chance or stay friends , sometimes its better to be friends for relationships are complicated and it may cause you to drift apart afterwards, you are young wait and see .
