Honest opinion., Girls and guys... need ur help. Options

[TearsOfAPhoenix]

Ok I need an honest opinion. I have this best friend who’s a guy and we’re super close. We can talk about anything and we trust each other enough to open up without the other making fun. He’s a real ladies man in the sense that the girls are very easily attracted to him, but he is a gentleman in every sense. He opens doors, pulls out chairs, etc. (Turn on for the ladies).

Anyways despite the fact that I have more than friendly feelings for him I seem to end up hooking him up with girls. Last hook up I made was with my friend and she’s the type to run away when the relationship gets to “serious”. Anyways she dumped him with the excuse that she didn’t like him anymore when she really did. When she revealed her true feelings for him it was too late because he had a new gf. That gf ended up dumping him too because they didn’t see each other much. Now he wants to get back together with my friend, but she’s over him. Throughout all of this I noticed that while comforting through his pain and being there for him and him doing the same… I fell for him.

For the past year our relationship has evolved and I guess you could say we’re flirty. We cuddle… lie in each other’s laps… talk for hours on AIM about everything…have a lot in common (soccer)… meet after school when we can… Many of my friends say he likes me. He admitted to one of our less close mutual friend that I was perfect for him, but that he didn’t want a girlfriend at the time and then later when she asked directly if he liked me, he said no. Another of our friends got involved and told him that a lot of people had noticed us together at a festival (various people asked if we were a couple) and when it would be official. He signed off AIM before he answered. He’s still talking to me as usual… nothing different, but if this will hurt our relationship if he doesn’t like me… how can I cover up my feelings? OH and the friend I hooked him up with knows about my feelings and totally supports the idea.

What do you honestly think about all of it? I’m a really laid back girl… guess you could say I’m a tom boy, but does he have feelings for me or does he just see me as his sister? I don’t want to ruin the unbelievably close relationship we have, but my feelings for him are really strong.

Darn. I knew I should have gone easy on him at the arcade.

Sorry I wrote sooooo much. I wanted to be detailed in order for you guys to give an opinion.
