You sorta feel rejected, huh?

You know, it's funny, I was talking to my friend about this the night before. See, the funny thing is that the guy you like cannot be your best friend because if you like him, you might never have a chance with him because he might only see you as a friend, OR he might like you but since you two were friends for so long, it will be awkward to date someone that was so close. I know a guy that like a good friend of his.. he never said anything to her about it. He didn't want it to be awkward and most of all, she might not like-like him.
AND, on the other hand, you cannot jump into the relationship right when you meet the guy beause you might not know mucha bout the guy. Yea sure, you might learn to like/love him more, the more time you spend with him and date him and get to know each other. But, there's always the chance that JUST MAYBE, you might not like the type of person he really is.

So basically, you can't be best friends with him, nor can you meet him and date him instantly. You have to be somewhat of an acquaintance, but still a friend whom you see occasionally, not too frequent.

But hey, that's just my opinion. This is just from my perspective, because I've seen this happen. It's really tough to tell him because maybe deep down he might like you, but it might be really wierd/awkward... It could work... But you two might feel to much like brother and sister.
