You've got to just tell him flat out.  But be warned, there is a 50/50 chance of this blowing up in your face (but a 50/50 chance of it being the best thing to ever happen to you as well).

tell ur friend that you are interested in him, and that you would like to get to know him better. See her response. but don't forget, men come and go, but friendship lasts.

Simply go up and tell him. If you have a friend tell him, it will get twisted around. He'll appreciate it more if you are open and just tell him. :)

"How do I let a good friend know..."\n\nIf he's interested romantically, he's not a good friend but a suitor, and however you tell him or don't tell him, when he's finally convinced there's no hope, the relationship you have now will change.\n\nBy the way, if you don't like him, then you don't like him.  Don't let others tell you who you should like.  It's not them under him in that bed till death do you apart.

You need to explain to your friend that it is your understanding he might be interested in you.  Although you're flattered, and you love him very much as a friend, you simply don't feel that way about him.  Tell him you wanted to say something because you greatly value his friendship, and didn't want to do anything to mislead him.  Once things blow over with this situation, you should then be able to pursue a relationship with his buddy.  Your friend might be upset for awhile, but if you truly care about him you don't want to eventually hurt him more deeply.

why would you like to not be obvious about it? If you want to go further past a friendship, you need to be straight up with him and talk about how you feel for him ... drawback is, that if he doesnt feel same way for you, he might take a step back.\n\n\n...but you could get him REALLY REALLY drunk and take advantage of him. :p

Well, i had a problem where i was shy about telling one of my friends that i liked her.  You should try to just be like normal and just chill if you want to with him.  If all gos well, you can either choose just to hang out with him longer or choose to tell him about your feelings for him.

Are u sure u don't like him??? W.E if u don't you'll have to tell something like you're one of the best persons i have met in my whole life but we're not meant to be together. However if that person really likes u theres no way he won'feel bad, so be honest but sensitive and w.e ever u do don't say lets just be friend, let him take that decision i mean u can say if u want...

Join the club! You and I are in like the exact same predicament. Anyways, um, if you two are good friends, then you should just tell him that you like him. There's a chance he'll like you too. God, if only I could follow my own advice...\n\nI know what you're thinking, it's much easier said than done. But that's my best advice. And to tell you the truth, that's what most people in here are going to tell you to do. Sorry if I wasn't very helpful. Good luck!

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.

FOR STARTERS, YOU NEVER TOLD US IF YOU LIKE HIM BACK OR NOT!\n\n-----\nI say that if you two are REALLY good friends then you should find a time (wait for a time) when you are both alone and both feeling very comfortable (not cuddling, but sitting on a curb outside or just chillin in the car, talking) and then tell him what you just told us (it seems very innocent to me),  .... tell him that you really like being his friend and for everything in the world you dont want to lose that friendship.  Then say "keeping in mind that i dont want to lose the frienship for anything,  lately we've been spending a lot of time together and we seem to be getting closer and you seem to be ready to come over to my place at any moment and you seem to always want to be around me, and i was just wondering .... what do you think about the idea of us being more than just friends?"  He might say "what do you think?"  Then smile and say "i asked you first."  smile.  ---but before he answers, tell him that no matter what he says, you'll still like him just as much.

Sit down and talk to him, just tell him how you feel. Do it privately, so you don't embarrass him or you.  If he really is interested he'll tell you.  If he's not then hopefully, if he really truly is a friend he will let you down gently and be flattered.  Good Luck!

I had the same problem a few years ago. I would try to drop subtle hints, like touching his shoulder when you talk to him. Don't be overly flirty cause he may shut you down and you might feel silly, but see if he responds to the subtle hints and if so then take it to the next level. I would recommend not ruining the friendship if you truly cherish it. But you don't want to regret never telling him how you feel, so feel him out. Drop hints, compliment him a lot, tell him he looks really hot today in a particular outfit. Whatever you would say to a guy who you liked that wasn't necessarily your friend. Good Luck!

You can try the subtle way. Tell him you like being around him that should do it. Wait and pick the right time.

Tell him that you like him but you're getting mixed signals and you need for him to tell you how he feels.  I know it's scary, but even if he says he just wants to be friends he'll stick with you if he really IS your friend!  Either way, it's best to get things out in the open.  You'll be glad that you know and don't have to just wonder all of the time.

Go for it, if he doesn't feel the same and you want to keep the freindship...act like you were just curious and that it wasn't that big of a deal anyway. He may be thinking the same thing as you and you're both afraid to go for it. If you ever get signals from him in that way, he has feelings for you.

Well you need to start flirting and acting different around him. Compliment throw your arm over his shoulder when the time is right. Or you could plan this with your friends what you do is have a friend tell this guy but whichever friend whom you choose to say it has to tell him as if it where a secret he couldn't speak of she needs to tell him you like him and she needs to say something lik  "don't tell her i told you k" this way he'll think it over\n and wonder if he likes you to. but continue to act as if you didn't know your friend told him.\n\nhey if you need help i'm here email me at hitches_help@yahoo.com
