Should I Tell My Two BEST Friends Who I Like???

Question

I really like this guy who hangs out in my group at school (he started hangin with us when one of my best friends started going out with one of his friends) and i really do want to tell my two best friends who he is but im really shy and i dont want them to act weird around him and me if i tell them so i havent told them yet...they are all really good friends with him and they think hes awesome so i kinda feel like its not my place to like him and its not right to like him since my two best friends like love him in a best friendy kinda way...PLZ HELP!!

im not at all worried about them being mad and its not a trust issue and they both have boyfriends already i just dont want to make it all weird

they literally said:

"awww i love _____ hes awesome!!"

they said that cause we were saying how her bf didnt talk much and that _____did, (he is her bf's friend)

Answer 1

..."Luvs Twilight"... Aw, thank you! Lol. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist! Lol. But yeah, I hear what you're saying... You're drawn because you kind of want to tell them because you don't like them saying they 'love' him and so you're hoping if you do they'll stop saying they 'love' him so much out of respect for you. But if you tell them you know there's going to be a bit of awkwardness and they will be trying to set you up with him and bugging and nagging and pushing you to talk to him and whatnot. What to do, eh? What a delima, eh?

I hear ya... Well, given what is most likely going to happen if you tell them, I would say it's best to keep it a secret for right now. Because more than likely them pushing and whatnot will actually cost you him and things will just get really messy I feel... So don't tell them specifically that you like him. But do subtly express how much you don't like them talking about him like that. I mean they have boyfriends after all, eh? What the heck are they doing talking about another guy like that?? You should use this as "leverage" when trying to get them to knock that off. Tell them you don't think they should be talking about him like that and you would appreciate it if they didn't. All and all if they're your friends then they should respect that and they also should not bug too much if you simply tell them you're unconfortable with it.

Also, you should try to "make a move" for him sooner rather than later I feel. If he's such a nice guy, and you're obviously a nice girl and believe it or not a lot of people like shyness, then he would be flattered that you would want to date him like that. Especially since your two friend obviously like him but it's probably more of a turn off for him the way they like him I feel. For you he'd be flattered. I can just tell this one, love.

So you have two options here I'd say. Tell your friends to stop talking about him. Or make a move for him yourself. You can't do both though because once you try to get your friends to stop talking about him and then start getting closer to him, they'd be able to put 2 and 2 together I think. It'd be just like telling them.

Well, those are your two options I feel. Much luck to you on either one.
