So i've been best friends with this guy since I was about 4. We were next door neighbors and did. EVERYTHING together. We even got married when we were like 5. haha. Anyways, when we were 10 he moved about an hour away, and I didn't see him as much but i still saw him every 2 months or so. THen he moved back and he lives like 5 minutes away. Now we are almost 16 and I see him every few months. My problem is, I've been in love with him since I was like 5 and I really don't know if he feels the same way. We are always flirty and have physical contact. Last summer I almost thought we would be together because we were acting like something was going to happen, and then he flipped out and told me I should workout with him and get in shape. (I'm a little overweight, but not too bad.) He really isn't shallow but it just seems to me like he realized he was starting to like me, and he didn't want to because i was overweight or something!? Anyways, hes also always bragging to me about his "hot girlfriends with abs", and hes not even that hot. He is cute, but not like OMG! But now I really don't know what to do, because i have a boyfriend but all I really want is to be with my best friend, and I'm afraid to put myself out there and ruin our friendship. My mom and my sister are convinced he loves me back, but I really dont know. What do i do!? and how do i tell if he wants me back!? any advice will help. and yes, I know i shouldnt be with my boyfriend if i like my best friend, but I also like my boyfriend....i just really would rather be with my best friend. ah. help me!

ps, sorry if this doesnt make much sense, im typing this in a hurry!!

whooaaaa. my friend is going through the SAME THING. i'll tell you what i told her. you guys need to talk about this because obviously, its eating you up inside. don't be scared that after you guys talk about it, you guys won't be the same. if you guys are really truly best friends, something like this won't come between you. and you don't wanna live thinking the what if's and stuff.

just talk to himmmmmmm. lol.

yeah i know what you all mean. the sucky part is that i dont get to see him that often. we are close enough that even though we dont see each other we still stay the same, and we are still close. i probably just neeed to get over it, because he doesn't like me. i usually only like him when i see him or someone starts talking about him. Like right now i don't even like him, i have a boyfriend. but if i see him ill like him. : /

maybe i just shouldn't be as close to him?
