another one of those "i like a guy threads"

yeah well im good mates with this guy. When we first started talking he really liked me an used to tell me and i liked him too but nothing happened probably cause we were both shy about it and im not the best person at flirting etc.

That was about 3 years ago now and i still really like him. I told him i liked him after going through a whole heartache faze and he said he still liked me too.

But

He said it would be better if we just stayed friends cause we have a good friendship and deepdown i felt this too, didnt want to risk the friendship by anything happening. Now he's always moaning he wants a gf an he's lonely..

what would you do if you really liked him?

im so confused about it all...:confused:

I could make a joke about getting him drunk, but I wont.

He obviously cares about you if he doesn't want to risk the friendship, but you have to consider whether if he doesn't like you enough to risk it if a relationship would last.

Are you willing to risk the friendship to take things further? Do you think if you're good enough friends that even if the relationship broke down you could still be close?

There are a lot of things to ask of yourself and him. I was in a similar position, but mine was solved for me - the guy started seeing someone else. Sadly this broke our friendship down completely, so there was all that worry over nothing.

If you really think you'd work as a relationship, then ask him out! Or get him drunk and kiss him (sorry :redface: )

I hope you manage to sort things out!

I was actually thinking about the drunk thing lol :redface:

but when he starts talking about getting off with other girls its just like a crushing feeling inside like argh:frown: ...bah i might have to go with the drunk thing an see what happens at least then i can blame it on alcohol:rolleyes:

I think I value his friendship too much to lose it over something that might not work out...I always fall for the wrong people :frown:

Aww dont worry im in this situation too, i reli like a guy but i havnt told him ever and i know he reli wants a gf. im not sure if he likes me back though, hes never told me but i always get the feeling tht he does by the way he is with me. I think i may try to get him drunk when we go back to uni but i want him to want me cuz he likes me, not just cuz he was 'off his face' :frown:

OP go wit the drunk thing...i plan to blame it on th alcohol lol. :wink: but if u dont do it, ul never know!

Yup everyone seems to think alcohol is the way forward :rolleyes:

I dont think i want him so drunk he's 'off his face' and doesnt remmeber anything lol just slightly tipsy. It could work cause im more confident when drunk and he says what he thinks when drunk so who knows :biggrin:

Maybe he's playing hard to get i'm not sure, but maybe you should take the lead, perhaps say to him if you want me, come and get me. If he don't respond to it, there's alot more guys i am sure would die to have you as a girlfriend.
