How do I tell him?

Okay so I know this guy. We've been friends for a while and he knows I like him but we both decided to stay friends since he's in the army and he didn't want my first relationship to be with an army guy. We have stayed close friends for a while now but only through internet since he's gone to Germany for training. I know it's going to hurt when he actually gets a gf. How do I tell him I need to take a big step back from our friendship (we talk almost every day) because of how bad it will hurt when he gets a gf. I don't think he really knows how much I like him.

    Just tell him, "I truly do care for you and I don't think that I can be this close to you anymore in fear of you finding a girlfriend. I think that it will hurt me too much to see or even know that you have a girlfriend, so I think that our friendship should cease."

    Tell him how you feel. The longer you hold on to it the worst it will be. You never know what's going to happen. Being that you do not want to deal with a long distant relationship, and you have feelings for him. He might/is feeling the same way and don't know how to tell you. BC if you guys are that close, then telling each other will be the key thing to do. It will be grater later. Good Luck

    Perhaps it isnt the right time for him to have a girl in his life anyways. Who knows- it mght be an automatic when he gets out of the Army like my man and I were when he came out of the Marines... Timing is everything. Think about that also as you make your decision about what to do. How could he or would he be ABLE to react ... It isnt like he can just leave the military because he found out youre in love ;)

    hmm tough question. i would perfer u to continue to shower him with good portions of concern but like u said he might have a gf. i think its better to keep things as it is. its still too early to say. u wont want to spoil this friendship or get yourself hurt.

    Tell him exactly what you have put here, because it is heartfelt and what you really feel and he needs to know because it better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.
