I’m 18 and have known this guy for about 3 years now, and for the past 6 months or so we’ve pretty much become inseparable. Although I do have feelings for him, I genuinely can’t tell if he just sees me as a best friend or also wants something more. We’re the kind of friends who pretty much tell each other everything, and are almost always texting one another until 2AM on most nights. Most of our friends are constantly on our case about us dating, or even question whether we already secretly are. We do hangout together somewhat often, so I guess when that’s seen/heard about it does cause some question.

You’re right, that if you tell him you like him, things will change. He may not like you the same way and back off, and things could get awkward, or fall away altogether — or he may like you the same way, and romance will begin. But one thing is for certain: If you do nothing, you’re going to watch as he dates other women. So, doing nothing isn’t a great option.

My advice is that you let him know that you like him, by flirting with him. Believe it or not, guys really do want to know that they’re not going to be rejected before asking a girl out, and flirting with him, is a way of letting him know just that. 😎

The reality is that you may lose him — or you may gain a boyfriend — but the bottom line is that the “friendship” you have now, isn’t really a friendship, because you’re not being honest with each other about your feelings, and if he starts dating his prom date, you’re going to have to be there to watch him fall in love, and pretend to be happy for him, without letting him know how you feel…..

That’s why my advice is to show him how you really feel by flirting. He’ll notice the change in your behavior. 😉
