A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Well i know you probably hear things like this all the time so, ill try and keep it short as possible and thanks for taking the time to read it!.

Basically long story short i think i might be starting to really fall for my one and only friend.

We have known each other since nursery, and have been on and off friends throughout the years, we are both 14 years old now and our friendship has never been stronger than it is now.

This last year has been terrible for me, and all my friends and some family left me to deal with a lot of crap on my own, and he is the only friend who has supported me and egged me on to sort my life out and i will always love him for that.

He is one of a kind, hes happy, random, funny, rather insightful, good looking, supportive and my family adore him! We have a really good laugh together whenever we see eachother.

Only down sides is he can be a bit childish sometimes and a tad bit annoying but well no one is perfect.

Lately ive been pretty sure he might feel something or fancy me a bit. As well we have started flirting a lot more, and he has really opened up to me and he makes a lot personal remarks about himself which is kind of weird but he wouldn't of done that a couple of months back, and we playfight a lot and sometimes he rubbs his foot around mine if we are laying down.

I have had mixed feelings from him in the past, like we used to playfight and then he would say we can't do it anymore because its wrong, or he would be a bit flirtiy one day and then a bit cold the next, but the last to months he hasn't been cold at all, and he is now always the ones who start the little playfights.

He did make one remark in febuary, saying he wasn't attracted to me at all, but that was ages ago and since then we have really made each other view life in a different way as we are both from different ends of the social spectrum.

Well i do fancy him a bit i wouldn't say i love him and i'm not sure whether i want to go out with him or not or anything!

i do get my hopes up sometimes thinking he might lean in and kiss me or he might ask me out so i just can be sure he does like me in that way, and as i have anxcity i do kind of feel really sad when i think different or get a feeling he might suddenly go off me or say something (unintentionally) that gets me down.

So my question is what should i do? Should i carry on flirting and get my hopes up? Should i just kind of act normally and let him make the calls and try and not get my hopes up? Does this sound like flirting or not and do you think maybe we should just stay as bestfriends?

Advice appreciated.

aunt honesty agony auntTo me yes it does sound like it is flirting. But he may not have the courage to ask you out either or to admit to you if he has feelings for you or not. So really it is up to yourself what you want to do here. If you want to be with him then tell him how you feel. But there is a lot of doubts in your mind at the moment, so until you feel like you know for sure what you want then just carry on flirting and enjoying his company.
