Search Results: i dont want to ruin friendship

How do I tell a guy i sort of have a crush on him, i am not saying i like him because it's a new friendship, but i dont want to get put in the friendzone so quickly without a shot. So as a guy what would you like to hear if a girl was confessing her feelings to you and how can i not make it awkward so i won't ruin the friendship?

Im asking this so it doesn't bother me much later on and wanted to see peoples opinion. I dated my ex boyfriend 2 years ago which was so long ago and we only went on 5 dates in one year. We just kissed, hugged, talked alot, went to places we never had sex. Plus im still a virgin. The emotions were very intense not going to lie. But i guess this still sounds like a fling almost that i had with my ex boyfriend right? It def was not long term. I dont want to discuss a lot what happened between me and him, but i already have it under my other questions here if anyone wants to read it so i dont type it again. Its under my profile, questions, "long distance bf", "you deserve better" and "if ex contacts you on vday". I guess he had his chance with me & lost it. Claims he feels so bad but i had a bad feeling about my ex. He knows im a good person but he plays games with my feelings, manipulates me, comes in n out of my life when he feels like it. I have been trying for a year to get back wirh him and he wasted 7 months avoiding me, looking at other girls, made me feel not good enough, he also broke promises he's made to me. Like i told him how upset i was when he ignores me & i was crying myself to sleep he said he won't do it again and still does. I hate when guys call women bad names. my ex did that. He knew i never had sex and he calls women hoes, bitch, etc. He didn't say it in my face but on fb stats. I have him blocked so he can't bother me anymore. he's been dating other girls after me. I didn't date since 2 years ago. His friend probably heard i dont sleep around so maybe he's wants to date me too. The guy i like now had a gf 3 years long time ago. My ex had very short term flings.

So i feel attracted to the friend, he's looking for someone too, starts convo with me as well but i first contacted him, i told him as a friend n i dont want to ruin friendship with them. My parents dont approve of my ex, but i dont know why i feel so guilty?:(.
