So just recently I ran into a familiar face. He was my childhood best friend up until i was 13 and i am now 19. My feelings for hi from back then still exist over the years and i had just realized i still felt that way for him when i ran into him. He's had a tough life and he is a total druggie thats trying to get his life straight now. I know the person he can be as to the person he is. How do i help him and not affect myself. What do i do about my feelings for him? I care for him more then anyone. He's always been kinda like "the one that got away" but i don't know what to do. We've been doing alot of catching up and we've been through alot in the passed few years. Yet even thought so much has happened we haven't changed much towards each other. I really like this guy and i truly do care for him no matter how people portray him. What do i do? Do i tell him?

no don't ,, not now atleast when he's better so you would avoid the percentage of you getting hurt, but if you could try helping him for the time being that would be great, let him know your always there for him no matter what ,, and you may slip in some hints that your into him , but the point is i wouldn't be direct so if nothing worked out i'd still be friends with that person

SapphireLily agony auntSometimes the best thing to do is tell him.

Tell him, how YOU think YOU should, that way its sincere.

Also, body language is key.

Try to show him without saying anything first to see how he reacts; gently brushing his hand or shoulder, long eye contact, smiling.

Best of luck,

SapphireLily
