SO.. I like this guy and I don't know whether I should just tell him or not. If he doesn't like me back, I don't want to ruin our friendship.
Cyanide-
wait...I thought you already had a boyfriend?
Bitterissweet
we broke up, like.. a couple months ago.
Cyanide-
aw. Im sorry to hear that. Anyways i would be flirty with him and then tell him that you like him
Bitterissweet
It's okay >< I'm flirting with him non-stop and I'm hoping he'd get it sooner or later but he's not!! He's so stupid sometimes = =
Cyanide-
a lot of guys are like that. They just can be completly oblivious to things. Maybe you can have some of your friends drop some hints to him.
Bitterissweet
I'm scared that it'll totally screw up our friendship though ><
Cyanide-
i know what you mean there. I had a crush on my best guy friend and i was totally freaking that it would ruin our relationship or something, but we ended up dating and since then we've been together for 4 months.
So in a way its all a risk but it makes things adventerous.
Bitterissweet
what if it goes the wrong way though?
Cyanide-
well, thats the part thats unknown. If it doesnt work then you guys just end up being just friends.
Bitterissweet
i mean like.. He's the kind of guy who freaks out when someone likes him if he doesn't like them back and just totally.. cuts off all ways of communication with them.
Cyanide-
oh. Well what i would do is see if your friends can dig up any imformation about who he likes or who he is interested in. I know it probably sounds really petty but if he can be like that then its probably a good idea.

This happened to me once.
I called my really good friend and left a message telling him that I liked him a lot.
He returned my message and told me that he just wanted to stay friends.

It was a little hurtful since it was my first rejection and my first time actually professing my feelings for somebody.
But since then, our friendship never skipped a beat, and we're still very close friends.
We even joke about it.

The important thing is to know whether or not your friendship with him is mature and strong enough to move past the awkwardness that may come of you telling him your feelings.

If he's the type of person that doesn't react well to you being open emotionally with him about liking him, then maybe you should try to drop the hint in a less obvious way. Like, as him to hang out one on one...
Bitterissweet
yeah, he's the guy who isn't open at all. Just think about all the stereotypes of guys on how they have no feelings and they never cry. Thats basically him.

If you can trust yourself to deal with rejection, if it happens, then I would go for it.
