How should i tell my best friend that i like him?

Question

I am 16 almost 17 years old and i think i have fallen for my best friend... i have known him for almost 6 years but only over the past 2 have we been close... I'm not sure if he only thinks of me like a sister or more then that because its hard to tell... he says his family is always asking him if he likes me or if i like him...

its just really confusing on weather or not that he likes me back...

-every time i see him he always wants a hug?

- he sticks up for me at all times

- when a guy ***** with me hes always there.

- we talk on the phone every night

can somebody help me onto weather or not they think he likes me

because id really like to know but even so i dont want it to ruin our friendship... how should i bring it up to him?

another thing is, is that when i met him and for the past 5 years i have been really good friends with his sister but latley i have developed more of a connection with him then her... i really like him alot and i just dont know what i should say to him... im just really lost at this

++ we have sleepovers all the time... just me and him not his sister...

*not in the same bed but yes to the same room

Answer 1

it seems to me that u guys r more like good friends and not bf and gf material if u guys did like each other u would had, had a connection a feeling there a long time ago like since u both meet u guys needed like a moment in the beginning, and after being friends with him so long its going to be difficult and really weird if u guys go out

i thought i was in love with my best friend when i was 15-16 i thought i loved him that whole year i just never told him and when i turned 17 we got like really close and i realized that i only loved him yes i loved him but as a great friend and i think i would rather have a great friendship then a bad relationship

it came up when our friends kept on asking us if we were going out i was getting tired of hearing it so i told him i asked him do u think that we could ever be more then friends and he told me honestly what he felt he said he will always see me as a sister and agreed, i did tell him i loved him but as a friend and he told me he loved me too

if he does like u or did he would had made a move in the moments u too were silent or alone unless hes a shy guy then thats a different case, u should just ask him straight up how i asked my friend and if he really is your friend he will answer honestly dont worry

it will work but if u keep staying his friend

but if u guys do decide to go out i wish u the best of luck really cause i have never met any one that ended up together when they started off as best friends

but u know what they say ur best friend is the person that knows u best and that will always be there ur mate 4 life

good luck :)

Answer 2

Just ask him "what do you think about me" and if he asks you what you mean, ask him if he likes you more then a friend. And if he says no and you don't want him knowing you like him just say ok good I feel the same way, or tell him the truth. Or if he says he likes you, tell him how you really feel.

I have been in your situation plenty of times. I always fall for my friends. I am always open with it and if they don't have the same feelings back it's fine, and our friendship is still the same. I think you should just be honest about it.

Answer 3

get a friend to ask him if he likes you and if he does talk to him.
