well i was once in a situation like this.. maybe call him and tell him your feelings( thats how i did) or ask him to talk to you after school about something without his friends.. \nthen if he likes you he likes you, if he doesnt he doesnt... \n\ndon't listen to that first guy or the one that said 'flirt flirt flirt' ,,... im still very close friends with the guy /best friend i went out with.  we went out like... 2 years ago.. and im still best friends with him, talk to him all the time, his friends and my friends sit at the same table for lunch... went trick or treating with him and his friends and mine..and i didn't flirt with him either..  so don't listen to 'dat wangsta soundin' guy ' (aka the first guy dat talkedid like diss) or the big flirt one   \n(sorry you two if i offended you)

immediately begin giving subtle hints to send the impression that you like him that way, and start with the smallest kind of hints you can think of. gradually increase the frequency and obviousness of your hints over the next 2 - 3 months, till he either sends you a clear signal he's not interested, or allows your advances to continue into a relationship. If he reciprocates your advances with advances of his own, it is very likely that a strong bond will develop, and you can accelerate your advances.\n\nHaving said that, some people prefer that others just come right out and say it clearly and unmistakenly, but this forces a judgemental decision that often turns bad. If he asks you a direct question, such as "do you like me that way?" answer directly, truthfully and thoughtfully, making your intentions as clear as possible. He will probably respect you for your honesty, and if he is not interested in that way your friendship will flourish as a result of such honesty.

I understand, but I think you'de ought to tell him that you really like him, but don't want your friendship with him and you to break... Break it to him gently, but say you still want to be his friend. Do what your heart tells you!

If you don't want to hurt his feelings .. try to come up with something other then "I like you as a friend, I like you like a brother, I think we should just be friends " line.  \n\nMaybe tell him you're not looking for a relationship at this time & you think your friendship is very important to you and you would never want to ruien what you have now with him .. and he means a lot to you !

Well, the problem seems to be that neither of you are telling the other about your liking for him or her. Instead of assuming that you don't like him, why doesn't he ask you straight away? Then the problem would be solved in minutes.\nHis friends tell you that he likes you. Why don't they tell him that you like him too?\nAs it appears that neither the guy nor his friends aren't going to be of much help, you have to take the initiative to clear this misunderstanding. First talk to him on the phone and tell him that you want to talk about a very important matter in privacy. When you meet him at the appointed place (a sparsely crowded restaurant or a park) at the appointed time, tell him that you have been wanting to tell him something for a long time. And that it was for this purpose that you have invited him here. When he wants to know what it is, tell him about your feelings for him confidently. Next, ask what he thought about you. I think, things would move their own way after that. Best of luck.

Yes you should tell him you like him since both of yall feel the same way about each other. you'll never know until you do something about it cause actions speak louder than words.

well search your heart and find out if you love him or you want to get down with him.  its very goood to clear things out of you or you will hate your self if you don't express your self or you will blow up. but if you love him then this is a way to tell him:\n"i really like you and you have been such an inspiration to me.i don't know if you feel the same way and i hope what i am about to say dosen't ruin our friendship because i like being your friend. i don't know how to put this i find you very attractive and i think i begining to fall in love with you." what about that. sorry i could not help much

Tell your friend how you really feel about him. Who knows? He might feel the same way. Any kind of relationship starts off as friends and it could develop into something more. It will also give you guys an opportunity to find out how you really feel about each other.

I would first maybe talk to some of his friend and then your friends to see how he feels about you. Because you don't want to tell him then get your feelings hurt if it is not the same for him. I honestly believe that you can truly tell if some one likes you so talk to the friend and feel the situation out a little before making your move.

if you guys are already good friends i would let him know you like him, even if he has a girlfriend. Hopefully he will be able to respect the way you feel about him and will share his feelings about you as well.

Tell him you're flattered but that you don't think of him in that way.\nTell him that you've known him for so long now that you just can't see him in that way.\nBe nice about it & don't give him any hope that you may change your mind in the future, just be nice to him about it.\nIt takes a lot of nerve to tell someone you like them, respect that he probably worked up the courage to tell you for ages & don't hurt his feelings.

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!
