How do I tell my friend that I like him?

This guy and I used to be really close when we were little, but I changed schools after the third grade and we never really talked again until last year, when I began attending his church. We are both Juniors in high school, I'm 16 & he's 17. I really like him as more than a friend and I don't know how to tell him. I think he might like me too, but I'm not really sure because he is nice to everybody. How should I tell him that I like him without it ruining our friendship? And if I do tell him and he likes me back, do you have any advice for me because I've never been in any kind of relationship before?

    As weird as this sounds, the less you think about it, the better! If you really do like this guy then you should be comfortable with him already, so just ask him to the movies and do stuff like that.. But make sure its with just him and not any other friends or you wont be able to tell if he likes you too. And slowly start to show him little signs that you like him more than a friend, like start to touch him more and text him and cute little stuff like that. Then... you can ask him to the next dance or something (girls should be afraid to ask guys- take risks!) I hope this helped :))

    i had this same problem before. but i made it easy for myself, and ima see if i could make it easy for you. when it comes to close friends when one likes another it seem kind of hard but really it just takes time. spend more time with him but not so much that he could get annoyed. call eachother over the phone have late night talks invite him over for a movie.

    (get him a little drunk and come in for the kill)

    just kidding have a good time with eachother. and soon he should find faith in you. make him want you although you too want him.

    my issue was the same but i wrote a letter and we hung out, watched movies, and me and this person are closer then ever.

    and it only took me 5 month:)

    but i dont know if this too would help.

    the guy i like is one of my close friends too and i just blurted it out honestly i didn't really put any thought into it and it kind of surprised him and myself but we talked about it, and it was fine, i find it easy when you don't put a lot of thought behind it, because that can make you over think :]

    but tell him in a way you feel comfortable with. :]and tell him when your ready. :]

    could cause awkwardness for a little while but you could take a shot and send him a text message/msn...if he doesn't react well...just say you were joking or practicing on him because you really like another guy and jsut wanted to see the reaction

    Flirt! A simple., "Hey Cutie" or something will send out the flirty vibe. Just try and see his reaction. --- If he flirts back.. that's a yes.

    If he just acts like normal, then that's probably a no.

    If he flirts; then start asking him "are you interested in anyone these days" depending on his answer, see if he acts like he kinda likes you.

    Then he'll probably ask you who you like. . and you hint around.

    See how it goes!

    BESTOFLUCK!

    just tell him, "i like you" ofcourse when your having a convo not out of no where

    and if he says he doesnt like you back them simply say you understand and that you hope it wont ruin your friendship :)

    good luck!

    just tell him you really like him, and ask him out or something. or u could tell a friend to ask him if he likes you. if he does like you thats good. just be yourself. dont try to act like someone your not. if he would like you he would like you for who u are, good luck

    dont tell him. he will leave. if he likes you he will tell you. guys process feelings of love very different from girls. when he is in love, you will know.

    read what happened to everyone else who told the guy how much they loved him... what happened? he left....

    Tell him what you feel. Dont hold back. Guys hate girls who are shy. Be confident!
