Yes, go ahead and tell him now. Don't make him do the scariest thing in guy world - asking a girl out - only to be turned down. You can say "I am really glad that I have you as a friend, but I kinda get the feeling that you might want more. I love you and I don't want to hurt you, but I just don't feel anything but friendship for you."

Of course this guy likes you.  He's gotta be awfully shy to not move forward with you even when you say you like him.  I assume his comment was an attempt at humor.  Why don't you take the lead and tell him you want to date.  He'll be overjoyed I guarantee it.

`Is the guy single?  Is he dating your friend?  If he is, would you want your best friend to stab you in the back?  If he is single then perhaps it may he may be fair game?  In any case, I would choose friendship over love.  Plenty of people out there in this world to date.

Well I'd say ask him. But keep in mind that if he's not interested it may hurt your friendship. I had a friend that end up liking me and after he told me I felt so uncomfortable around him.  So your taking a chance but I think if you don't, you'll probably regret it forever. GOOD LUCK!!

I've heard about this type of case before, if you like him and he seems to like you too, you guys should give it a try. You wont loose anything, just make sure you guys talk about it and say to each other that if it doesn't work you'll still be as best friends as before :-)

Your friend knows very well that he likes you. You need to ask yourself if you really like him? There is no point in going out with him just for the sake of it. You don't sound very interested in him. If you do like him then go for it. Tell your friend that if he was interested in her he would have ask her out not you.

i did and i still do. i have never told him.it's so hard to tell whether you like your friend as just a friend or as something more because the line between friendship and lovers is very thin. i always liked him as more than a friend but i settled for friendship rather than nothing. when i am with him, it feels like its just the two of us and the way he looks at me.

Tell him \n"I'm sorry I am not interested in dating you, but i would like to go out with you sometime just as friends."\nIf he doesn't want to be friends after that, then you know that he was only befriending you because he liked you.  That is not what makes a good friend.\n\nOUCH "LALA" that is the opposite of what she wants to do.  B**CHY much!?

I've been in his shoes. The best thing to do is to let him down gently and don't let him think that there's any chance. That sounds difficult, I'm sure it is. \nTry this: "I really just like you as a friend and I don't see us as anything more. I'm sorry." \nIf he asks if there's ever a chance, tell him probably not. \nHe's in a really vulnerable position right now, but he'll appreciate being let down right away rather than dealing with someone who's afraid to hurt anyone's feelings. \nDon't feel guilty...that's just the way it is.\nChances are he'll be hurt and your friendship won't be the same ever again...but that's why they call it taking a risk.\nDon't use the "you're younger" excuse, in my opinion, I would just use the "it's not you, it's me" thing. And he won't like that, he'll probably eventually not want to talk to you for awhile, but that's the way it goes. \nI'm just being honest.\nP.S.- The "jeopardizing the friendship" thing is generally looked at by guys as weak and a cover to the real reason you won't date him....my advice is to not use it.

It seems to me that he was sending out signals that he wants to be more than friends with you.  When you didn't respond, he felt like you weren't interested in him.  In my opinion, you should talk to him.  Explain why it isn't practical for you to date right now.  If he's a true friend he'll understand.  Who knows, maybe you can leave the door open for a more meaningful relationship in the future.\n\nGood Luck!

If a guy hangs out around you, he probably likes you.  In almost every case, a guy wants to be more than friends... hes probably just to scared to say it to you because he thinks if he tells you how he feels that he will lose you as a friend too if you say no.  Did you ever just try asking him if he likes you?

You know that there is an unwritten rule between friends, if your friend likes someone and they like YOU, you need to stay away. Great friends are hard to come by but guys are a dime a dozen!! Besides you mentioned that he was short so obviously it's a problem with you and why would you risk a friendship for someone your not really attracted to anyway?

Hold on to your virtue sister.  It is ok to have him as a friend.  Better a friend than an enemy.  There was probably no hard feelings when he went his own way.  He probably still likes you but he is just a man who will get it any way he can.

Don't worry about it until this person actually confronts you. It may not be what you think.  Then if they do confront you, just explain to them that that is not your preference and that you can still be friends.  As far as the guy, why don't you ask him out? :-)

yeah i think you should take the chance. try to make it in some way as to not scrwe up the friendship if it doesnt work out. actually before telling him i think you should try to get him to like you too, make compliments, but make them sound casual so that he wont be sure if you like him or not, then he'll wonder if he likes you or not too. it sounds complicated but it works all the time.
