How do I say I love you to my guy friend?

[katestar]

Confessing my feelings for him

[BullShark]

If you guys aren't already good friends, fix that now. Show him that you can be frank with him and that he too can feel relaxed around you and be himself as well. Guys especially like a girl who feels comfortable around their company and with whom they can just loosen up every once in a while.

Then drop subtle hints. Touch his arm when he says something funny or subtly brush your leg against his if you guys are sitting next to each other. Smile more around him, maintain eye contact and show him you see him more as a friend too. Then jokingly ask him (like what @DizzyDesi said), if he ever thought of you guys as more than just friends. If he has a positive response, follow it up. Or just pull away if he doesn't feel interested.

Also look for subtle hints that he likes you back as well. If a guy likes you, he'll speak in a slightly more clearer tone and will give you a sort of imposing but confident eye contact. He'll have a slight smirk throughout his conversations and he'll lean his body towards you more, usually with his arm resting on the table in front with his cheek resting atop his fist

[katestar]

Really? He won't remember me. After all. He's my guy friend. He's a smart guy. He'll know that I'm doing this. He'll pull away from me.

[BullShark]

If he pulls away, then you got your answer and you know now that it's time to pull away. But unless and until you don't take the risk, you might never find out how he truly feels for you.

Trust me. Regardless of the outcome, you'll be looking back on it and thanking yourself that you at least gave it a try against all odds

[katestar]

We've been friends since we were teenagers. We grew up together. He was a gentleman and a sweet and funny and very thoughtful and very handsome and hot looking. And really talented actor. I met him when I was 14 and he was 15.

[BullShark]

If he's your friend since so long, then you have nothing to fear. He'll know not to say anything hurtful and who knows, maybe he always liked you back as well and had a childhood crush on you as well but was too nervous to confess his feelings, thinking he may ruin your friendship. You've got this 👍

[katestar]

He turned me down. He said that he can't date me and he can't marry me. I have to figure him out what he wants

[BullShark]

I'm really sorry to hear that. That's unfortunate. But now, as I said, you got your answer. It's best if you move on from him and go after guys who really value and care about you too

[katestar]

I'm still in love with him. But I have feelings for him. I don't know what happened with him. I can't move on. He makes me feel happy when I see him. He makes me smile

[BullShark]

I can understand. It's hard to get over someone you love that easily. Just give yourself some time to heal. You'll be over him soon, I'm sure of it

[katestar]

There is one problem. I can't get over him. We've been friends for years.

[katestar]

I still like him as a friend now. Maybe I should've told him that I love him sooner.

[Bl0n6eguy]

probably... if you loved him at 15 that's a lifetime ago now... I'm sorry to hear this

[AviatorTom]

You simply tell him how you feel... preferably when you have some quite time together.

[katestar]

We've been friends since we were teenagers. I've been in love with him since I was 14 and he was 15

[katestar]

Maybe I should ask my guy friend out on a date

[Wubs3000]

Wait you have loved him for 18 years? Why didn't you confess earlier

[katestar]

Yes.

[katestar]

We've been busy with our lives. He doesn't have any time for me

[DizzyDesii]

Jokingly ask “have you ever thought about how things would be had we been more than friends” then depending on his answer, you’ll know if you should confess or not

[DizzyDesii]

I love you may still be a bit much tho. Hold off on confessing THAT much

[katestar]

Okay. I've tried it. Didn't work.

[DizzyDesii]

What did he say?

[katestar]

He can't date me and he can't marry me

[DizzyDesii]

What can't he? His parents dont approve or is he not into you?

[katestar]

He doesn't into me.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn. Gotta let it go. Move on and if he ever changes his mind, he knows where to find you

[katestar]

I can't let it go. I have to know why he turned me down.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea you deserve closure but we dont always get it

[katestar]

Does that mean that I have to face him after the 4 years of heartache and hurt? Even though I know what happened with him. I know the real Brandon thane wilson. The reason why he turned me down. I have to know about this. The Brandon thane wilson I know. The guy friend who grew up with me.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao why you put his whole name out there 😂 But yes you need to face him to get closure

[katestar]

I'm sorry about that

[DizzyDesii]

Yea dont do that because he may think you only like him for his up and coming fame

[katestar]

No. Not like that. I've liked him before he got famous.

[fonduegirl]

It's hard to break the friendzone. Good luck!

[andreasderjuengere]

I suggest: don't say it but just show it in your own actions:

in the little details of daily life.

[chokeonDaddysbigD]

I love you. Just say it? Orprove it by sucking his cock and swallow every drop then fuck his brains out.. and in the morning make him breakfeast

[Dinosaursandanime65]

The basically same way to Guy best friends do. “I love you (as best friends). Except for you, you would add, “not as friends”.

[katestar]

Really?

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I don’t know, you can try if you think it sounds valid

[katestar]

It's not. I might have a good chance.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Well good luck with that. Good job not being GAY- aauuaidjdhdhfhfh

[katestar]

I'm not gay. I'm a straight girl.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

AKA NORMAL. I know, i was acknowledging that

[katestar]

Really?, I've been a straight girl for a long time.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Ever had a pet toast?

[katestar]

No. I just wanted a boyfriend. A good-hearted boyfriend. Like my guy friend.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Reasonable. Then when it actually does happen you get pained by the Precipice Blades

[Wise4myage]

I say just come out and say it, but ask him first how he feels about you.

[katestar]

Did I mess up with my confession of love to my guy friend?

[Wise4myage]

Right or wrong, at least he knows how you feel.

[katestar]

He doesn't have any feelings for me. I still have feelings for him.

[Wise4myage]

Then let it go.

[katestar]

I can't do that to him. I've never felt this way about him.

[katestar]

I've tried that.

[Wise4myage]

Therapy could help.

[katestar]

It didn't work for me in therapy. I work out my problems by praying.

[dudeinohio]

Be direct

[katestar]

If I direct. He will push me away.
