Just sit down with him and tell him everything.I think that he should know how you feel before he finds someone else.If you want to be with him,tell him that you want to be more than friends.

whoever is closest too you and mean the most to you tell them first......bear in mind go gentle when you tell them...as when you do they will never ever forget that time and day.......but you need to tell those you love at least first........it will be easier for you too. and you can also talk it over with loved ones too. \ngoodluck, \nmay god be with you,\njp

I'm assuming you are good friends since you've known each other for so long but I wouldn't want you to scare him off either.  I would just kinda drop hints and see how he takes it and when the time is right to tell him then you will know.

you need to tell someone...have you tried talking to her?? i would try talking to her and tell her what your concerned about...and tell her that you're going to have to tell an adult if she keeps it up...if and when you do tell she will be mad, but if she is your true friend she'll stay mad for a little bit and then realize that you only did it because you cared and you can go on being frineds...if not then she just stays mad....but either way...you were doing the right thing...it's better to tell and possibly save her life and not be friends than to keep your mouth shut and regret not telling someone when something irreversible happens...

Tell him/her I have something to tell you but I don't want you to get offended.  I care about you as a friend and feel you should know.....

reconsile hun. be up front with her, tell her how u really feel! dont be afraid to talk to her for the how you want ur friendship to be and how important it is to you. ask her if it's something she wants also. dont let it go, b/c if it goes unsaid and unexpressed, trust me, the friendship will fade and you'll end up standing beside urself wondering wtf happened.

it depends on how old you are, and how well you know her.  if you want to tell her, there's no reason you shouldn't, if you break it to her in a nice, polite way.\nfor example, don't go up to her and say, "hey, you have really hairy arms.  everybody's making fun of you.  you should shave or something, 'cause, people think it's gross."  instead, say it to her in a gentle way, and make sure that there aren't other people around, that would just embarass her more.  try just telling her that there are a couple of people making fun of her, you think it's wrong that they are, and just wanted her to know.  if you're nice enough, you might get a new friend!  however, if you're one of the people making fun, don't do it anymore, but don't say what i said above, because that would be lying, and that is bad.  tell her the truth, in a nice way, and everything should be fine.

Why do you have to tell him? Why not just be his friend to see how he responds to you that way? Then if it goes well you can slowly work into being more. Why does it have to be a hurry up deal? This way is a lot less scarier and you wont be risking making a fool of yourself.

I have learned straight forward honesty is the best thing in a situation such as this. That way there won't be any misconceptions in what you are telling her. It may shock or even hurt her feelings, but if you don't care to be friends let her know. Good luck.\n\nEagleman

Silvana gave some good advice.  You need to know, however, that often you do not need to say anything.  A touch can convey so much more.  Hold a hand, give a hug, lay a finger upon a face, place your hand on an arm or sholder.  A kiss on a cheek.\n\nIf you feel that you must say something, express your feelings honestly or tell the other person that they are not alone and you are with them.\n\nYou can always ask if there is anything that you can do.  You can always tell them to call you if they need anything.  Often people do not want to hear that everything will be alright, when it is not alright with them now.

Don't rush yourself. Do it when you are mentally and emotionally ready. Then just sit your friend down and let them know you got something you want to tell them and say, "We're best friends. We're supposed to always be there for each other. Now if you're a real friend, you wouldn't judge me for this...." Then come out and say it.

if he is a really good friend then just tell him that he hurt your feelings, he should understand and he may have not known that he hurt your feelings, and he won't know unless you say something.

any gender has no exceptions. showing someone how you feel about them is basically better than saying it. it gives a mysterious sense of what you really think rather than giving the impression that you really care. okay, you'll react and say i need to express my emotions to that person already... but what if that person doesn't really want to move forward. would rather lose the friendship that you have right now or keep it. expressing yourself doesn't really mean that your not saying it. you just show it to that person so that in any case if worse comes to worse then you'd still keep what every status that you have right now. i've always believe that actions speak louder than words. so just show than tell. GOOD LUCK

Have a mutual friend ask him about it without letting him know you were behind it. You don't want to scare him away if he's a good friend.
