Should I just forget about him? (Oh wait, I can't.)

it might sound crazy but i was in the same situation, and though i thought it might have been awckward i talked to my best friend and honestly i didnt get advice but i got the truth. it wasnt awckward at all it was normal! if you think that things could get wierd it only can get that way if you make it that way your self. so if i were you i would talk to him and get his honest opinion.

brethe, he is you r best friend, youve got a choice to make, you can either tell him how you feel(which may make things akward for awhile if he dosent feel the same) or you can keep your mouth shut and let the chance fly by and he'll probably date the other girl. i think you should just tell him, be blunt, i tried that and my best friend of nine years liked me too, fell in love and blah blah blah but things didnt work out, thts another story. so take the chance and go for it, do not let a good relationship pss you by, they are so so rare

wow! i know how you're feeling.. if you tell him and he doesnt feel the same then you're friendship might be ruined, but if you dont tell him and he feels the same as you then you will be missing out.. so idk what to say really.. i had a friend that was in the same place as you and she told him and he didnt feel the same, but they didnt stop being best friends. so idk i think if he is really your best friend and he doesnt feel the same as you he will at least listen to you and understand how you are feeling and if he says he doesnt feel the same way then i guess you will know it wasnt meant to be, but if he is truely your bestfriend then he wont let it ruin your friendship, but if he does feel the same then you will finally know and ya... so my advice to you is tell him about how you have been feeling and maybe, you never know, he might be feeling the same.. but if he doesnt just tell him you dont want it to ruin your tight friendship with him and if he is truely your bestfriend he will understand and still stay friends with you.. good luck :-) hope everything goes well!!!!!!!!!!!

Casablancas...i know,it can ruin the relationship..but u must do it...because risk could be win:D....i think, the love is more beautiful then friendship and you can´t dissemble forever...once u say it to him and you will be togehter..i think it coul manage...a lot of luck:D

This is a tough situation but if i where you i would maybe just tell him "i dont know, i think i like you. but i cant, it will ruin our friendship" and see if he feels the same way. If it does maybe you can both feel the same way just without the official relationship (because i agree, it DOES ruin friendships) and if he doesnt, then thats on him and you'll find another great guy and you still told him your feelings. Its a win win.
Whatever's meant to happen will!

Maybe you shouldnt let this ruin your friendship with this guy.
Because it would be better letting your friendship last forever than having a relationship that wont last too long.
