his name is...

[IcAngl11]

Im 14 and im think im inlove with my best friend. He has no idea, but he knows ive liked him before. Those feelings subsided over the sumemr from being apart for so long, but hes one year older than me and goes to a diff. school now. How do i tell him my feelings without..telling him my feelings? And how do i know if he feels the same without coming out and asking?

Sometimes you just have to take the risk and tell the person. For all you know he could be feeling the same and both of you are worried about being rejected. What was his reaction to you when he knew you liked him before? You dont have to blurt out 'I think I love you', but maybe suggest going somewhere together, just the two of you and take it from there. Good luck! x

Whats the worst that can happen? Ask him, "he who dars wins" If he does say no and is nasty in his rejection then he was not worth it anyway. I would definately ask him now or you will regret it!! You only live once remember so crack on and ask him out. A gud place to go at ur age is the fair, coz you get to have fun and bond. Plus get one of ur mates and his to meet up and go together for the first date, sumtimes that works.

Hang on though, if you are male IcAngl11, be careful about blurting out your feelings. Your friend may not have any gay feelings at all, and he could act very ignorantly and tell everyone at school that you are gay. Being 14 is a tough time, and it's often hard to understand our feelings. Just carry on your friendship as per normal, and if he is interested you in that way, things should happen naturally. If not, then it was probably not meant to be.

This is a tough one, because once the genie is out of the bottle .... Best thing is to guage reactions very slowly, try holding hands, touching a little more than usual, a hug, and see what happens. If you get no responses, no harm done, and you can continue your friendship, but be careful, it's a step forward from which you can't step back.
