i like him a lot but i don't know if i should tell him. what if he likes me too? i don't know if i want a relationship because i cherish his friendship and i never want to lose it. friendships last a lifetime. but if we get into a relationship, when it ends, we would never be able to be friends again. i wish i knew what to do.

Only thing to quell those doubts & what if's is to do a little 'probing' & ask. As I suggested before, you could bring up the subject as a hypothetical situation & see hot he reacts. Good luck!by KiKi

the problem is i don't know if he values our friendship as much as i do - we only met about 2 months ago. actually, i don't even know if he thinks of me as only a friend or more than that. i would want more, but if he ONLY wants to be friends, i'd rather have that than nothing. but at the same time, i'm afraid that bringing up the idea of dating will make things awkward between us if he doesnt feel the same, since it's not like we have years of history as friends.by r.mutt at

If he's a good friend he will still be there when it all goes pear shaped. I'm talking from experience here coz I'm the shy one who just leaves it and never says a word coz she is too scared. Go for it, you have nothing to lose, well that's what people are always telling me. I know it doesn't make it any easier, but the last time? I went for it, and we're not together but we're still great mates. It can work, you just gotta have a little faith in fate :] good luckby anonymous at

Actually, it is possible to be friends afterwards, but it's not easy. I have a best friend whom I've dated on & off over the years (we're in a break-up phase again, darn it.) And we're still friends. Hasn't been easy, especially right after the break-up point, but it IS possible. It just depends on how strong the bond is between you & how willing both of you are to move past certain hurts if the romance doesn't go well. Next time the two of you talk, offer the possibility of a romance between you in a hypothetical way & see how he reacts what he says.
Good luck!by KiKi at

Not always, but sometimes, the best relationships grow from friendship. Mine did. Too bad he realized he's gay, hunh?by anonymous at
