Is my guy friend too afraid to tell me how he feels?

Question - (14 August 2013) 1 Answers - (Newest, 15 August 2013)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My feelings keep growing for my closest guyfriend. I tried to let him know how I feel about us a few times a year ago..but it seemed he always tried to avoid it..it may be because we have known each other for so long and he is too afraid to say how he feels out loud. Or is that just a possible excuse?

I still believe he sees me more than just a friend. I once asked him about who he likes because he admitted he likes someone more than a friend.. but he didn't tell me. He claims I'm a special friend but he can't even share that piece of personal information with me. It makes me confuse but i understand that sometimes we dont want to let others know.

Anyway, Last weekend we were out at an event at the park. our other friends were not able to make it so it was just me and him. He even asked if I was okay if it were just the two of us as if I would be uncomfortable. It was funny because while walking at the park he mentioned "it is our first---" and never finished. What came to my mind was "it is like our first date". But I said it is our first time at the park without our other friends instead!

Lol..at the event he kept asking again and again about buying me whatever we saw. He surely doesn't do this to any other female friends, at least not that I know of. While we were sitting inside the building he kept checking on me if I was getting cold because the room had high AC on. He offered and gave me his sweater too but kept checking. So all in all I want to know how I can talk to him about us and let him know what I think of him even though there was only friendship in the beginning and no romantic feelings. He probably knows and remembers that... Its a difficult situation because I never took notice of him and was young back then. Now i realize how truly wonderful a person he is..the only boy who now has become a man that has always been kinder and more sincere to me than anyone i have met to shortly say it all. The woman who he gives his heart to will surely be the luckiest..Should I try to pursue things?

From personal experience, don't let time go by without you knowing... it will be a lost opportunity.

So take the risk, and find out if he feels the same way as you do. If he does, you can move forward, if he doesn't, you can move on and still remain friends.

It sounds like he may be interested with the extra attention, wanting to buy gifts, attentive to temperature so you are comfortable, etc.

Good Luck
