What do you do about your best guy friend?
969562
This is a very tough situation, so please handle it with care.  First thing is, does he have a girlfriend, or something that he is currently seeing?  If he does, please do not make a move because it could jeopardize your friendship completely.  Second, you say you haven't spent a lot of time together until a few months ago, why is that, if you have known him for years?  I think if you are seeing more of him recently, you should just try subtle hints and see how he reacts... ie touching his arms more, flirting a little.  If the subtle hints do not work, you can just try being honest with him.  If he is your best guy friend, he will appreciate your honesty, and will respect you for it.

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!

You need to not be "best friends" with him. Time to move on.

Pay attention to wat he does! if he asks u how your doing or wats Up. if he tells  you about the new things in his life pay attention it might be his way of including you! tell your best guy friend you like him and tell him to pay close attention to wat your crush says in the locker room or guy things. dont flat out sk him or tell him you like him b/c it could scare him off! spend more time with him or ask if he wants to "hang out" sometime as just the two of you. you'll knoiw if you should tell him or not!\n\nP.S. If that doesn't work walk up to him and kiss him. Then say "i just wanted to know wat it would be like" and live like there is no tomorrow!

Talk with your best friend. Perhaps, neither of you should date him. Never let a guy come between your friendship. Maybe one will give way, perhaps you both give him first dates and let him choose, but make sure the other one of you won't be jealous.

I have been in this situation, and it is very hard to deal with, esp if you were into the guy before he got together with your friend!\n\nAll I can say is keep your feelings buried for now - it wouldnt be any good to let either of them in on houw you feel, because that would just ruin your friendships. Who knows, given time you may move on, meet the guy of your dreams and suddenly all feelings for your friend's guy will be out the window (it happened for me!). Otherwise, it may not work out between the two of them, in which case ONCE THE DUST HAS SETTLED (its important to wait until it is well and truly over for both of them, or someone will end up hurt) you will be free to see how he feels about you. \n\nIf you do end up dating him though, make sure your friend is okay with the idea, as I have also been in the position where my ex ended up dating two of my friends - weirdly enough, I was fine about it when he dated my best friend soon after we broke up, in fact I set them up, but by the time he dated the other friend a good while later, it drove me mad seeing them together, and it made me realise I wasn't over him at all (but thats a whole other story!).\n\nThe last thing I will say though - while I repeat it woud be a bad idea to tell either of them about your feelings right now, one thing that really helped me through everything (both being the one with feelings for my friend's guy and seeing my ex date my friends) was having another friend whom I trusted completely and who knew everyone concerned but wasn't part of the group so much. I was able to tell him everything that was going on in my head and getting my feelings out really helped me to get over them - keeping your feelings to yourself with no outlet will not help you move on, it will only intensify them. So tell someone whom you trust not to blab, even if its only your diary!!!\n\nGood luck, and if you need a chat, get in touch any time!\n\nJoji x

you didnt do anything wrong, it was good that you were honest about your feelings. he is your best friend, and best friends are suppose to care about each other. you might want to have a talk with him, maybe there is something wrong going on in his life that he hasnt told you. but if he is a bad friend in other ways, you might want to stop hanging out with him so much.

To save having anyones feelings hurt or to not damage the real relationship here(you and your friends), you should both agree to leave him alone or someone will get hurt. In a couple of years you'll both forget about the guy, but you'll friendship will be going strong...leave the guy alone and work on keeping the friendship together.

If he's your best guy friend ... you already know you like each other.  It's workin' out just great the way they are.  Don't rush it.  Things will take care of themselves.

If your best friend knows that you like him, she's not being a good friend is she? When she's not there, flirt with this guy but not too much to the point where it annoys him. Next time you like a guy, don't tell her.

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!

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

that is how life is, people come in and leave our lives, but since he is your best friend and you do love him let him go and encourage him to make a new life for himself, and you do the same, I know you are hurting but it will subside.  A wise man told me that if you can count all your best friends on one hand then consider yourself very lucky.
