What do I do?

I have a crush on my best friend, but I'm not sure how he feels about me. We're 15 by the way. He sits with me on the bus even though there are only six people on it so there are tons of open seats, he IMs me every time he comes online, we talk on the phone, and a lot of people say that in the end we'll probably end up being married. But I'm tired of waiting around for him to bring something up, and I'm not sure how I would. I don't want to ruin our solid friendship by asking him out, I'd rather wait for him. Is he just not thinking of me that way, or is he too shy himself?

    He definetly likes you, but is too shy. You may need to make the first move, which is tough, but always worth it. Maybe hold his hand on the bus some day, or just admit to him that you have a little crush on him.

    i'm exactly the same. i think you should wait just a little longer 'cos you don't want to end up ruining the friendship. do a little flirtig and see how he reacts.

    maybe the fact that you's are so close says that you feel the same way about each other. every good relationship should start on a strong and steady friendship so, so far things are going in the right direction. don't worry youself about this. from your picture you seem pretty and he would be mad not to like you too! :]

    Good Luck, i hope it works out for you, you seem really nice! x

    He could be shy to the subject of taking your relationship to another level. I would say play it cool though.. Time will reveal what should happen between the two of you. I knew my husband since the age of 9 and thought him to be awkward, but grew a fondness of him throughout the years.. We didn't start dating until I was 19.. and now we have been married for 4 yrs.. You just have to give things time to hash out the way that they are meant... Who knows you may be sweethearts.. but then again you might be better off as friends.... Just play it cool. : )

    Wow thats hard.

    Umm...

    Don't wait for forever.

    If you do tell him how you feel and he doesn't feel the same way, you know he'll be nice and understand because you're best friends.

    If he does, that's great!! If you date and break up, your friendship probably won't end forever. You will eventually work it out, or maybe right away if it wasn't a bad break.

    Hope this helped!

    Tell me what happens with you two!

    Good Luck!

    Ok look it sounds like he likes yous and i think you should ask him out. Most guys would like the girl to make the first move. It really depends on if you like him then ask him out. Even if it he doesn't like u he is going to be flattered and ur friendship isnt going to change. I did the same thing with a friend of mine and her and i are still great friends. So just ask him out!

    Well, remember he is just 15.

    He may not be confidant enough to openly ask you out yet. Building his confidence could really help you out in the end. Make sure he knows that you think he is smart, strong, etc..

    Stoke his ego and he might realize that you are the source of his strength.

    It sounds like he is too shy to do anything. Why not ask him to go to the mall or to a school dance to see if he will loosen up. Going those things will not hurt the friendship.

    Trust me on this one, kiddo:

    He is doing the exact same thing.. Waiting for you!

    Guys will almost always wait to see if they are approached first. Also, most guys are chicken sh*t when it comes to talking to girl.

    I wouldn't jump on to marriage just yet at 15 y/o, but trust me: You'll put this kid on Cloud 9 if you can muster up the courage to ask him out.

    Don't be shy just ask him if you guys are that close surely he will say yes and what do you have to loose. But one tip ask him yourself don't have one of your friends ask because he will probably be under pressure ask him yourself maybe he sees something in you that you don't. Well I hope this helps.

    He might be just shy. Show him that you like him romantically without being direct. Show him you care about him. If he's sick- try and take care of him or like, hang out with him during lunch or start making jokes like you hate him- cos you know it means the opposite ;)
