Be honest. You shouldn't pretend to feel something that you don't. Even though you know that it will hurt him, it is better that he knows how things really stand. Maybe you will never love him, then he will feel hurt AND betrayed that you lied to him too. Do you really want to hurt him that way? Plus if you lie to him, how can you be true to yourself. It is so unsatisfying to live a lie. Good luck

It sounds like he likes you as a friend.  He must enjoy your company.  He probably has no idea that you like him more than just a friend.  Why don't you let him know how you feel about him?  But remember, by doing so, you might be ending the good friendship.  (If I were you, I would go for it.  Life is short.  Why not take chances?)  Good luck!

For one, how do you know you love him? It sounds to me like you are deeply attracted to him, but it's not love. The reason why I say that is because I am getting the deep impression that you have just looked at this guy and what not. \n\nOkay...so you are really interested in this guy. Start with a simple "hi how are you?" that is usually a good ice breaker. He may be a little shy at first but start trying to add into the conversation by asking various questions such as How is everything going and so on. If you are in school still ask him about what kinds of classes he takes. You know things like that. You will never get to know a person by just staring at them, you have to break the ice by not being so afraid to talk to them.

well, if you are falling for him and he still has the feelings for you then go ahead. The nice thing about your relationship with him is that you two know each other very well due to the friendship you two have shared.

Lexie( cute name)\n\nLexie u said that u  really LOVE him, but he LIKES u\n\nand that u he's an amazing, trustworthy all around  great guy( I can understand why u love if he's all that) but since u and he have been friends forever then u can say it in a friendly way 1st to see how he reacts. If he says it back in return, then theres ur opening.\n\nAsk him how he really feels about u after all these yrs ask him if he loves u in a friendly friendship way or in a girlfriend way? \n\nAnd base it on that.

If you fall in love with someone, you know when your heart pounds when they enter they room. They make you feel jitterey inside. If all of this is true, you really are into true love. I've had experiences when they don't love you back. Be patient.\n\nIf you can't wait to find out, ask them. Think about it. The worst thing they can say is no. After, ask them if you and he can still be friends.\n\nIf someone else loves you, and you don't love them, the oldest thing to say is tell them that you're sorry but you don't love them back, and can you still be friends. Maybe your crush will turn out to be a jerk and you'll always have this guy to give another chance. It could be the perfect romance.

I would continue the crush from afar and consider a relationship in the future when you are no longer his student.  If you are so attracted to each other then you can wait until it is appropriate for you to date him.  And in the meantime, how about dating one of your peers -- a fellow student.

Okay, you like him, and you don't just like him........you LOVE him, and deep down inside, you feel REALLY upset that he likes your best friend, even though they go together, you still want him, but I guess only patience is your only option, I'm going through the same thing- except I don't know if my crush likes my best friend, I don't think he does either. But yeah, only time will tell. Hope this helps.

That is definately signs of a crush...do you see him as a boyfriend or just a friend...you should try getting him alone having a heart to heart talk with him and ask him directly if he has feeling for you but don't go on and on and explain how much you want him..just briefly ask him and let him decide from that point on....Good Luck

just smile at him a lot...you know the one...flirty like you like him. and be cool. umm...tell him that you think hes rad, and cool, cute and stuff...tell him you think he has pretty eyes.you enjoy the time you spend with him at work and ask if he wants to....go minature golfing??? or something. make sure he knows... i have learned to late several times and exposed my crushes to late....after the feelings have passed. youll always wonder what could have been. i loved my best friend...3years after i moved out of state i figured out he loved me too...and it is to late now. i mean i am happy with my life now, but i occasionally wonder what could have been... wether i would be happier.

Sounds like a very cute crush. Be honest! Go to her and ask her if she's interested in you, don't be pushy or act desperate. Chances are if you two are really good friends things won't change if you ask her.\n\nShe'll appreciate your honesty. Just say something like "I really like you and was wondering if you had any other feelings for me other than being friends?"\n\nGood luck.

OK here goes..LoL im in the EXACT same situation, only ive like my guy since 6th grade, EVERYONE constantly asks if we are dating, and tells us we might as well since we hang out all the time. i really wasnt sure if he liked me either, then one night at a party we were dancing really close and he told me how much he liked me and he gave me a kiss on the cheek. it was really cute. Now we are datin and i couldnt be any happier!\n\nMy advice is GO FOR IT. tell him how you feel, because there is a really good chance he feels the same way. and just imagine how great your relationship will be if you make such great friends!\n\nand although its unlikely, if he doesnt feel the same about you then he will not want to throw away youre friendship over something like this. but judging by the fact that he asked you out already im almost 100% sure he feels the same way about you, and slapping you on the thigh is a definite sign, because my guy did that all the time. he is definitely flirting with you, its almost his way of saying he likes you. \n\nGOOD LUCK!!

You are probably 8 years old, "do he still love..." your perfect for a 9th grader.
