Don't be too afraid about that.  If he/she is your best friend, you won't be able to say almost anything to offend him/her.

You just have to really be yourself and show to her that you are the right guy for her. I would call and talk to her about it and ask her if you two could just go hang out some night and when you do eventually hang out, tell her about everything you feel! They always say that your soul mate should be your best friend so who knows. I wish you the best of luck!

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.

if he is your best friend, there is nothing wrong letting him know how you feel. as long as you know he is not going to use it against your friendship. if he reciprocate favorable with your feelings, maybe it will go to another level? if not, hope you two remain the best of friend....good luck..

i was in love with my bestest friend in the whole world.  in fact, i think i'll always love him to a certain degree.  i took a chance and told him how i felt, because hiding my true feelings felt like i was constantly living a lie.  unfortunately, like your friend, he didn't want to risk losing me since he knew he couldn't give me the kind of commitment i needed.  \n\nit's been over 3 years since my revelation (we've been best friends for over 5), and i've learned to move on.  in the years that followed, i slowly was able to tell him exactly how i felt and why, and also get the answers to questions he left unanswered for so long.  i know he loves me, that we'll always be constants in each other lives, and will most likely grow old together... but maybe just not as husband and wife.  and you know, what?  it's actually all right!\n\nlooking back, i don't think i would've done anything differently... even if we didn't end up together.  i told him what i needed to tell him, and never imposed a relationship on him.  suffering in silence, how i did before i revealed myself, and how i did even after that, was much much too painful... especially because he shared the most intimate details of his life with me.\n\njust do what you think you have to do.  if he doesn't reciprocate your feelings, then maybe he's not good enough for you.  i've always thought that my guy never really appreciated what was right in front of him, and maybe he's really not worth giving my heart to in the first place.  the right one will come along eventually.  hopefully, your friend is really the right one for you!\n\nif he's the right one, then he'll take the leap with you, and if he's not, at least you gave it your best shot.

Well how do you feel about her?  Do you like her a lot?\nDo you have fun together?  Do you confide in each other?  \nThese are some of the things that equal a best friend.  And if you want her to be your best friend, than you need to be her best friend as well. Then to be sure, you can just ask her...and she will tell you the truth!   :)

Loving your "best friend" is not a bad start.  Does he love you back.\nAnd stop playing with the word "LOVE"!

If the person is involved in a relationship at this time or you are, you should keep it to yourself.  If both of you are not in relationships, you should tell the person how you feel.  As best friends, you already have a great level of communication and the other person may be feeling the same way as you but is afraid to spoil your friendship.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  You will still be friends no matter what and even if the other person doesn't look at you that way now, they may start to consider it and you may have a chance in the future.  Good luck!

If he is your best friend then you should be open to telling him anything. Let him know how you feel about him and he should be okay with that. Maybe throw some hints out there that you have slight feelings like that for him and ask him about when he tells you he loves you.. does he mean he "really" loves you or "just as friends" loves you!? You have to find out what his feelings are to be able to decide really what you should do!\n\nThey do say that the one you are supposed to be with is going to be your best friend. \n\nGood luck and I hope this turns out being the way you want it to be!

I think you should confide in a diary or journal or something like some previous answer told you to do. It really lifts the weight off your shoulders once you've written your feelings down. I mean, unless you dont keep your memories written down, then you should tell your 2nd best friend/a close friend who doesnt have any idea who your best friend is, so that the person you tell doesnt tell your best friend and screw up your friendship. Just like what some other person said. Or, if you do have a trusting friendship that'll be sure to last for a kachillion years (again, an idea from another answer), then you might just be able to tell your friend. That's why they call them best friends forever right? Nothing'll come between them

I know what your going through because i still am im in love with my best friend and before you decide to tell him or not to just relize it sticks with you dont tell him  that your in love with him if its just a crush because it could ruin your friendship maybe not ruin but change it thats how mine is with my friend now  i told them how i felt and was told me they didnt like me as more than a friend,im not discourageing it i think that if you really like him and its not just a crush that  it will have  ruined the friendship even more because when your in love you never just want to be friends cuz it hurts so remember either way you choose if you dont tell him you know youll regret it if he felt the same way about you.Good Luck

I haven't been in EXACTLY the same situation, but I'll give you the benefit of my advice, anyway! \n\nFirst, don't do anything until he breaks up with his current girlfriend. That might mean you have to wait a bit, but it's the right thing to do- and besides, you'll put the guy in a bit of a tight situation if you say anything now! (And his girlfriend won't exactly love you for it...) So, wait til they break up. I know it's tough, but wait! \n\nAnd THEN, go for it! Don't worry about it ruining your friendship, because it sounds like you two really are best friends, and a friendship that strong, isn't going to be hurt by something like this. Tell him how you feel. \n\nThe best relationships are between people who start out as best friends- I know, from personal experience!\n\nGood luck!

Tell your friend first how you feel about him.  You don't want to lose your best friend over a guy.

Well then, it depends on your point of view about how precious the friendship between both of you. If you have your ups and downs and you're sure that he can be trusted and befriended for the rest of your days, then go ahead tell him. Whatever happened with your relationship, a best friend will never go away. If bad things happened, then you can always returned to the first stage. And make sure that you tell him that...\n\nDespite that, I would strongly advice you to at least give him hints first that you liked him. Don't go forward first, and let the man do the job (honestly a man will feel greater if he moved on first). At least gave him hints, one or two that you can and have liked him more than a friend.  \n\nSlipped in some sneaky talks about relationship when you're talking to each other. The word, "What if we're..." can be a good trick to use. I'm sure if you managed to pull this one of, he'll realized your feeling towards him and move ahead to do what his heart says. \n\nA best friend is someone worth having, worth caring and worth fighting. Who knows, he can actually be your 'best friend' for the rest of your life. Good luck!
