As I see there are two choices\n\n1- yes, your intuition is right, just because you are feeling it, it´s your friend and you know how it behaves.\n\n2- no, it´s you the one feeling attracted and pretending to hide behind "the feeling"\n\nEither case, in love and friendship only the one involved know...

Best friends.  Two people.  Gender unspecified.  All you can do is continue to be a friend, and let the situation develop.  You can't force anything, as the assumption would be that you wish to get in between them.  Hang out together, maybe make it a point to discuss various different forms of sexuality, bring up the subject of triangles.  No pressure, but find out where each of them stands on the subject.  In the process, they may get the hint.

me and my best friend liked the same guy once...but when we figured it out, one of us backed off. Actually, my friend liked the same guy I did and he liked her, so I was the one who stepped back. She didnt act on it anyway because she knew it would hurt me. Its doing things like that that makes a friendship last.\nso yes, that has happened to me.

If he stares at,looks at you,smiles at you,etc.\nIf you are a very close friend of his he probally likes you.\nIf you dont really know him,get to know him.And there will be a great chance that you will find out if he likes you.\nYou need to ask him.Or If he compliments you on something everyday.

Always be yourself thats why he should like you. The chances are he might be turned on by your friend but he probably has more respect for you. Let your bff know how you feel about him and after that start flirting, start to get into what he likes and talk about it with him.

I wouldn't make a move on my best friend without being 100% sure he feels the same thing. You might be risking a lot if u tell him and he doesnt feel the same. \n\nSo i'd say if u like other guy start from there... maybe it works with that guy and u forget about ur best friend... if it doesnt work then just wait u have something more concrete before telling anything to yur best friend.

Pretty hard to be your closest friend without liking you. If you mean likes you more than just a friend, there should be signs. Want's to be physically close, wants to know what's going on in your head, trusts you with things he doesn't trust to everyone, makes a special effort to be with you, lights up when you are around, protects and defends you when you are critcized, blah, blah, blah. Short Answer - acts like more than a friend and makes you feel like more than a friend. Take a chance. What do you have to lose?

If your best friend tells you he is gay, you can still be best friends. However, you should tell him if you are not interested in that kind of relationship with him and if he can't seem to accept this then two things will most likely happen. Either you will work through this or the friendship may end. P.S. Try not to be judgemental of his situation, that's just my personal opinion.

only u can decide..... no one can help u...... go with person who understands u better...one who is more caring,loving,protective,respects u.....and it also depends whether ur best friend likes u that way or not......give it some time......dont rush into anything

First of all stop worrying about what will or won't ruin your friendship.  The fact is that your friendship is going to change one way or the other simply because he has feelings for you.  So if you have any thoughts at all about being more than friends with him you need to consider taking a chance and pursuing it.  If not, sit him down and make it clear that he is endangering your friendship by hitting on you and that you need him to stop before things get out of control.

Decide which one you like more and see which one likes you more.

It's very common that best friend turns to be lovers. You should find out that your best friend is love you or just want to be friend. You know. Love is a two way channel, it invloves two persons. If only one-way, it is not love\n\nGood luck\n\nJoyce

You might feel like you're on a date, but that's just because you're straight.  He doesn't feel that way at all.  I had this one friend and I didn't think that I was leading her on or whatever and she KNEW I was gay, but she said that it was unfair of me to play with her like that and act like I was into her.  I wasn't GIVING her signals or anything though.  If he really wants you, let him come to you, you don't wanna lose a friendship just because you think you could convert him.  Things would just be WEIRD between the two of you.

Sounds like he does! Listen if you really like him you need to let him know before he gets to the point that he feels that anything more would mess up the friendship. If he doesn't feel for you the way you hope Hell you still got one totally awesome friend!

Never fight over him but if he likes you more than so goodbye friend if she cannot handle it because if the tables where turned this would be what would happen to you if you did not like it. Through life many thing like this may come up so if she is your friend she will understand if he likes you more. And if he likes her more the same goes for you.

If you are really his friend you can mention that you are open minded enough to not care if someone is gay or straight without putting your friend on the spot by asking him if he is gay. If he is in fact gay (and you don't know if he is or isn't) he will tell you when he is comfortable enough to tell you. Just let him know that he can tell you anything and you will stay friends with him because of the person he is, not because of who he likes.

Well, unfortunately you really cant MAKE anyone love you. If she is your best friend, then thats a great start! She already likes you and is comfortable with you, now you just have to see if she feels that way about you too.\nIf you feel comfortable doing so, you might ask her if she has ever seen you as being more than a friend. This is a tough thing to do, so wait until you are more comfortable doing so.\nJust make sure and remember: don't be too pushy. Nothing will scare her away faster.
