Answer 1

What do you mean it's not in your place to like him?  There's nothing wrong with you liking him.  This won't have a negative impact on your friends.  Having a love life of your own is not going to somehow upset the balance of friendships.

What might make you feel better is to begin hanging out with the guy on your own.  Spend some time alone with him and see if he starts to flirt with you.  If he definitely gives you signs that he's interested and you two start something then tell your friends.  You don't want them to get all weird and ruin it for you.  You don't have to tell your best friends everything especially if you think there's a chance they might embarrass you.

Answer 2

Crepuscular is cool I'm all over that.

You just be yourself and when you get a chance you ask him questions about what he's doing and be interested in him. Short encounters where you are nice and interested are attractive. If it's meant to be it will happen.

Answer 3

Well if ur friends were true friends, they would not get angry at you.... they'd be proud.. take a chance .

Answer 4

You have every right to like him, and this right isn't negated just because your friends are his friends, too. I can't even see the logic behind that reasoning.

As for if you should tell them, does it really matter if you do or don't? I don't really see this as something pertinent, but I can understand if you're just looking for people to confide in. If you trust them enough, go ahead and share the secret, or else talk to someone else about it.

Answer 5

sure, i guess. they're your best friends.

i told my best friends who i liked. and once it turned out that my best friend and i liked the same guy, lol.

and they didn't act weird around they guy i liked.

Answer 6

If you truly trust your best friends about your crush and promise not to tell anyone especially to him, then tell them.  Just tell them to be themselves.

Answer 7

go for it, tell them. i mean this kid might like you too. and as the person in front of me said if they are good true friends they wouldnt care..
