Wish I could answer this then apply the same logic to myself. 😂
Fancied my best mate (he knows) for the last 5 years. We’ve known each other since we started uni in late 2013 but I didn’t notice him until 2014 because we didn’t go around together much. It wasn’t until we found a place together (housemates) that I noticed. 😂

Need advice on this topic too!
Not that I want to but helps if I actually want a relationship without feeling guilty...

Well first of all you're going to have to shoot your shot. When you just fancy somebody but never make a move you bung yourself into what I call the "false hope" trap, where you lie to yourself and convince yourself there's a chance with them even though you're making precisely zero steps towards such a goal. Making the move allows you to either get the relationship you fantasise about, or removes the false hope trap.

Assuming you're rejected, getting over them becomes quite quick as you're forced to accept the fact that it's not gonna happen. Not a nice time, granted, but rejection never is.

No offence intended here, but you also more generally need to talk yourself down a bit. You are 16. Your never-ending infatuation with a childhood friend isn't love.
You actually asked this lad out or nah?

Multiple times. Unfortunately heterosexual and homosexual people don’t normally mix in a relationship. 😂

He said he has thought about it though and the odd peck on the neck hasn’t had him tell me to **** off yet. 😂

Honestly couldn’t ask for a better mate. 😁

Oh wow OK um...

If the passage of time on its own isn't working despite the fact you have no chance (ngl you've perplexed me a lot with this), all I can think of is trying to actively find somebody else. Get yourself on tinder or smth.

Does he know you like him and do you know how he feels about you?

Just as a pointer, just remember, you're only 16 and this probably won't be the first and only person you will ever love, sometimes all you need is time

Start loving yaself

loool but what if you've put your love into so many other people you've lost the love for yourself

and idk I don't really want to shoot my shot because I don't want to lose him as a friend

As long as you keep to a calm asking out and not a declaration of undying love till the ends of eternity then your friendship will be fine. I've done it before.

but the thing is I don't think I want to go out with him idk I'm just so confused
