Ok i'm a 17 year old female and i'm in love with my best friend. We've been best friends since we were infants. I can't even explain in words how he makes me feel. I've always been crushing on him because he is the perfect guy. He has a straight A average and is extrememly athletic. His family is the most important thing in his life next to his strong catholic faith. And to top it all off he is the sweetest guy in the world, he'd do anything to help out anyone. I can tell him anything...except how i feel about him. He is my best friend and our friendship is too important to risk on what ifs. There never goes a day that i don't think about him. Were sitting in class and i find myself starring and daydreaming. I can't be sure how he feels about me, we've always been best friends and everything around him is so casual now. I dont know whether he's flirting or just goofing off. I'll take something of his and he'll chase me down and throw me over his shoulder or something playfully like that. It comes down to the point that i'm not sure how he sees me, we'll spend our free time 4 wheeling, playing sports together or something and it just seems like a "guy" type friendship. I don't know how to approach this, if we both end up going off to college and i dont say anything i know i'll regret it but i can't think of a safe way to tell him without ruining our friendship.

Just go for it, it might be mutual you know. Some guys are shy.

Well, you're going to have to think about it before 'diving in'. You may have feelings for him, but is it really relationship material? I have lady friends who I'm very close to, who I love, but only as friends. At times, I questioned if it was feelings that were to grow on, but after thinking through it, the risk of losing that friendship, and that close relationship was not worth it.

However, if you're sure of yourself, your feelings about him, then speak with him. There is nothing worse than the agonizing tyrant that is regret, of this, I can assure.

well you know in your heart wat you have to do
ie tell him

but if you are a bit neverous (obviouslee)
maybe ask a frend's opinion of his or yours who know you both?
ask them what their take on your situation is

if any more help is needed just message me x
luv and luck xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As gay as this sounds, get a friend you trust and he might trust to 'talk to him', see if he might like you more than a friend. Usually an effective method, plus it will not destroy your relationship.
