First of all, if she is really your friend, you should be able to talk to her about your feelings. It is very possible that she feels the same way, and is afraid to tell you. However, if she does not return your feelings, if she is a true friend, she will still be your friend after you tell her the truth. Honesty in any relationship is the key. If you are not honest with her, how can she trust you?\nTalk to her and you may end up with the best relationship you will ever have.\nYou will never know unless you try!!!:)

well, here is the thing it's her choice to make and if u push her to hard she wont tell you things. umm u said what if he asks her out or something but what if he rejects her u know? so don't lose ur value of trust. she trusted u know u have to respect her choice and i think ur a good friend that ur caring and thinking about her but in this position its her choice to make. \n\nGOOD LUCK HOPE U BOTH FIND WHAT UR LOOKING FOR

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.

This is an easy one. I've being on the same boat so here goes. Tell this person straight up, that you like them as a friend but it stops there. Let her know that your not uncomftearble with her prefence but you still don't want her to cross the line with u, or it would ruin the friendship. \n\nIf she really values your friendship then she will learn to respect it and not cross the line. If she does then you know that respecting your feelings is the last thing on her mind and you shouldn't even bother having a friend like that. \n\nGood luck...

I'M IN A SIMILAR SITUATION LIKE THAT. ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IS A MALE AND HE EXPRESSED HIS FEELINGS FOR ME AND I TOLD HIM THAT WE WOULD BE BETTER AS FRIENDS. WE ARE STILL AS CLOSE AS WE EVER WERE. I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD FEAR LOSING HER AS A FRIEND BECAUSE IF YOU ALL ARE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS, YOU EXPRESSING YOUR FEELINGS TO HER SHOULD NOT CHANGE WHAT YOU TWO HAVE. I BELIEVE EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT FOR THE BEST AND YOU SHOULD JUST GO FOR IT. GOOD LUCK...

This could be a wierd relationship to get into, and could end up ruining your friendship. I would be careful, and watch out for peer pressure, serious trouble. Listen to your own heart, not the advice of someone elses!

Two things that may happen. Either your bestfriend will accept it and ask you if you want to move the friendship to another level. Or he will be surprise and will start avoiding you especially if he likes someone else. It will surely be a tough decision and you are the only one who can make it.

just leave them to it, if the lik, like-like each other, and they're already good friends then if they want to get together they will. Trust me, worst thing to do is to interfere cos you just may ruin a good friendship unintentionally, like

Tell her how your feeling and that you don't want to harm your excellent friendship, but tell her

Whatever you do you should handle it calmly and spare his feelings. Because right now like you said he hasn't gone too far but yes if you fear it will go beyond what you want it to be then is best to resolve it quickly. handle this face to face and be strong about it. Tell him that you feel that your friendship with him seems a little too personal and it makes you feel bad and you do not want to feel bad at all. That you cherish the friendship but it will never be anything but a friendship. If he can not understand or accept it then I suggest you end it completely.

If you and your best friend likes him then he should automatically be off limits to both of you. You don't want your friendship to be ruined over some guy. There are plenty other guys that you will like.....don't risk your friendship
