Do guys sometimes develop feelings/crushes on close girl friends over time? I was wondering especially if this happens when you're young (in your teens), and what sort of things can provoke this change? I am not asking this with any intention of changing myself to get this boy to like me, I just want to know out of curiosity as ive been thinking aboutt it a lot recently

thank you

For me it just happened out of the blue (Teenager here) I couldn't tell the time line when my feelings went from close friend to a crush. It just...happened, it didn't go over very well but it feels so real because you like them for who they are (b/c you already know them well being friends)

rachal  agony aunti think that if a guy is good friends w/ a girl then he's around her a lot, so he'll start noticing that they are more compatable then he first realized. he might just start liking her w/out a probable cause and w/out warning.

guys are sometimes hard to evaluate when it comes to why,when, and how the do what they do. good luck.:)

Some of the best long-term relationships start as friends who fall in love.When you 'pull' someone it is mainly a physical attraction with you not really knowing the person who you may find to be a nice person you like and could end up loving, or simply just detest them as you know them more.With a friend of some time you know the person 1st and my gilfriend is not only the love of my life, but my very best friend and was a good friend for 6 years before we got together.

Well, at my age, which is the ripen age of 28, I have recently developed feelings for a close female friend of mine, but fortunately, I have the sensibility to realize it can never happen due to differentiation in personalities, hobbies, spirituality, and friendship issues. I think when you are a teenager, your emotions may be a bit less refine and more raw which can lead to a tender and stronger unfiltered desire to want what you have become accustomed to, especially when that person can give you a feeling like no other. Whether that feeling can be interpreted as a crush, lust of sorts, liking him a lot, or love - whatever it may be, it can happen - it's a natural phenomena to do with hormones, emotional development and attachment, and the feeling of growth in friendship in which healthy relationships form from.

What do you think?
