my best friend, shane, I've known him for two years now and we've been best friends ever since and there was one time that I actually thought of us as more than friends but I got over it, so yesterday when I was texting him, I was apologizing for my other guy friend that I like that prank called shane from my phone so when I was done apologizing, he was like do you like him, and I was like yeah I really do so I ask him who he likes and he tells me about this girl kim and then tells me that he also likes someone else and I was curious so I asked and he's like are you sure you wanna know, and really I thought it was his friend cassie because they always hang out and stuff, so I'm like yes please and he texts back and says "its you sorry", those exact words and I didn't know what to say so I just didn't text back for a while and then he texts about 5 minutes later and says I understand if you don't want to text me back, so I say, "sorry, you just put a lot on my shoulders and I don't know what to say I really am sorry but ill talk to you tomorrow I guess" and then we just said our regular goodbyes but now I don't know what to do, how should I act, can we still be friends without it being weird, please help me!
First off can you say why you wouldn't want to date this guy?
I can tell you from a guy's perspective that we don't just like you for no reason. I fell for my absolute best friend in the world earlier this year. Me and her was friends for a long time before. She is easy to talk to. She listens to everything I have to say. She is honest. She keeps her promises. She is able to help with any problem I have. She makes me feel so comfortable around her. She knows just how to cheer me up when I'm down and out. She knows just how to make me smile every time I see her. She is caring. She gives me advice and help when I need it. She can tell when something is bothering me even if I tell her I'm ok.
Those are qualities that will make for a good relationship. If you don't have a relationship it makes for the Best Friend in the world.
All those reasons and more are the reasons I slowly fell for her. I had no intentions other than friends when I first met her. She slowly fell for me too, but she wasn't sure she wanted to date me. She was afraid of loosing our close friendship if a relationship doesn't work out. We tried a relationship and we noticed it wouldn't work and we are now still best friends today.
Despite what this guy below said that no guy will be just friends without ulterior motives is just full of crap. You can be Best Friends with a girl and not want anything other than a Best Friend. Just cause you are a girl doesn't mean you aren't fun to just hang out with and go have fun together like another guy. I never saw Kimberly in a sexual way before I noticed I had feelings for her. When we tried to date we both agreed that we didn't want to have sex too early and that we would both wait. We wanted it to be a special time the first time.
To this day I love just being around her, talking to her, laughing and cutting up with her. She just has this personality that draws me to her. I don't have many thoughts about her in a sexual way anymore. I honestly don't remember have a thought like that before I noticed feelings for her. At this point I still just want to be Best Friends and nothing more with her.
Now I do agree with this guy that you at your age do not need a serious relationship. Just date for fun. He didn't just have an interest in you for no reason. I'm not sure how interested he is in you, but take a chance and go on a few dates. You never know girl...he could be a really great guy
In teen years, girls and guys should not be engaging in committed relationships to begin with. They should focus on casual dating, so that there's no pressure, and no expectations.
In this case, I'd say go on a few dates with the guy. It's not going to hurt, and as long as you both discuss that it's only going to last for a few dates, everything will be fine.
However, I can tell by your post you're not interested. In which case, I'd say stay away from him. Because the more time you spend around him, the more he'll likely think it could work. No sense creating a situation where the guy holds hope.
But this guy is my best friend I can't just avoid him - 2 months ago
Answerer
Sure you can.
Tell him you're not interested, and that you hope he's not offended.
And if he persists over the next few days, slowly cut him off until you're no longer talking to him. - 2 months ago
Question Asker
I guess you don't understand that this is my best friend, and I WANT to be his friend, JUST a friend - 2 months ago
Answerer
No, I do understand, but what I'm trying to tell you is that what you want is no longer possible.
And he's something to realize for the future.
No guy is going to be your "friend" without the intention of wanting more. Some will want a relationship, others will want sex, still others won't know what they want.
But understand that guys don't befriend girls without wanting more. - 2 months ago
oh dony do that to the guy. I've known soo many situations like this and the guy you probally like is for say , a lot cuter, funnier, and harder to get? if this friend told you he likes you he probally nearly loves you. and he will for a while and he'll be sad about it, and then maybe try to get over it and like someone else but always think about you from afar and how he would still like you if you gave him a chance. That happened to me with my best guy friend, and you should at least be lucky someone likes you, so give him a chance, you have more a possiblity with a friend then some guy you just so happen to b crushin on.
