Do you feel like this guy would be great to share your life with? if not, you just like him!

I adore and love my friends for who they are.  Maybe its because we are older.  I consider my relationships with my friends to be as important as any other relationship and I know that I must work at them just the same.  Honesty is vital in a true friendship as is unconditional love and acceptance.  If you find a friend you can feel that way about, that is a REAL friend.

If the guy you are with now love and cherishes you stay with him love him let yourself be loved. For your friend stay clear he will only end up ruining what you and your guy have. Tell him you do not mind talking to him once in awhile but not all the time and that you are very much in love with your man.

Hi Friend...that;s wonderful for you!  Nothing sweeter than falling in love! Okay...is he just shy or mysterious? If mysterious...then solve the mystery first which will help you know him better and also will not give you any shocks later! But then again...mysterious is always attractive they say. Anyway, if you love him so much and if you feel that he is the one for you...dont doubt whether you can win him or not! After all, he is your friend and you should know him well enough to tell him your feelings without losing the friendship! It's okay to be scared and have doubts but is never okay to let the moments go by lest someone else grabs him. Tell him today how you feel about him....go to the movies or go somewhere both of you are relaxed and enjoying it and then open your heart. Well, in the worst case, drop him a nice sweet loving card...but it's not that fun! Nothing like expressing your emotions face to face...for good or for the worse, still it's worth it! And if you feel that you would prefer to win his love first...then as a good friend, you would know what he likes the most and what his passions are and so go out of the way to make him feel that you have something for him..and if he feels the same about you which we all wish for you...Bingo! Good luck my friend...wish you loving stars all the way...

ATTRACTION.  The guys you know as friends are friends because they didn't make you "feel" attraction for them.  You may love them but it will never fill you with the excitement an unpredictable man does.\nI bet if you called any of these guys and asked them to come over they would drop everything and be by your side.  Try it!\nIs that what you want?  Just because a guy isn't "totally sweet" doesn't mean he is a mean hurtful jerk.\nWomen love a challenge as we men do.

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!

I've been in this situation.  (Actually I had two friends like this one guy, and used me to get to him since I knew him well.  He wasn't interested in either of them.)  Just be honest with your friend.  Don't give her/him false hope.

I'm a girl. I have a few wonderful guy friends. I wouldn't know what to do without them in my life. They are my support system. They are much more sincere than some girls I know.

just ask him...believe me...i've had many guy friends and they all agree on one thing the girls they like the most are the ones that are upfront and honest with their feelings... and that's always the method i chose. And never lost any friendships over it...although i have to say, it may not have been the response i wanted...we still remained good friends, if not better. (and just to keep things clear, when i say friend, i don't mean with benefits...just good cry on the shoulder, tell all your secrets to type)

You can have everything in "a" with a friend, but that doesn't make it love.\n\n"Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you, but trusting them not to"

Sounds like he's unsure. I wouldn't bring it up again.  Just continue to be his friend without pressuring him, and he may eventually decide that he feels the same way. If not, you still have a great friend, and those are hard to come by.\n\nEither way, don't wait on his decision -- he may never decide, and you'll waste your time pining after something you can't have.

For the moment forget about your own friend.  You said you " only think of the guy as a friend and but he's okay "...based on that alone why would you choose to go out on a date with him.  You don't have an interest in any potential relationship developing with him so based on that alone...don't accept his invitation for a date.  Now, in addition to that, your friend really likes him, so to add that factor in...certainly don't accept the date.

I don't mind to have this friend but I would not force him or myself to have further step. It doesn't mean I don't want. I prefer to come naturely. If it's time that we want to be together, I think both of us would have the same feeling. No need to think that he should be my boyfriend/friend. Just relax and enjoy the relationship in this moment.

yes it can and yes i have. my friend and i we really close and i thought i liked him and that he liked me. one day i went to kiss him and he pulled back and said no that he doens't have feelings for me. i went home that night and thought bout it and i didnt really like him like that either. it was that him and i had gotten really close and thought that i might have liked him more.

It all depends on how you define love.  I 'love' all my friends, but I don't want to get married to them or anything!  Love doesn't have to me romance... it can indeed just mean being close to someone and caring about them. Some people, however, might not be comfortable saying they 'love' their buddies... it depends on what love means to you.  Men especially don't throw around the term too often, because women tend to read more into it than they should.  Keep in mind there is a big difference between caring a lot about someone and being romantically interested in them.

have respect for your friend and look elsewhere.  a guy isn't worth losing a good friendship over.
