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

Hey there, ok so here's my problem. I have the strongest feelings ever for my best friend. (he's a guy). I know it's not love but it sure feels like it whenever i see him or talk to him. He just came out of a 1 year relationship so i know he's hurting right

now. What should i do though? should i take a chance and tell him how i feel or should i just ignore my insticts and just continue being his friend? He liked me before but never said anything because he thought that i would never feel the same way, so that's why we never went out. I can't keep hiding my feelings for him please help. Thanks so much =]

wait for him to feel the same way you do. he needs time to heal and get over his ex. if he's worth waiting for be patient. if you stick by his side through his current situation he will probably find you to be his rock and appreciate you. if you're there for him he'll notice.

Be a supportive friend, and when you feel it's appropriate, tell him your feelings. You'll never know unless you try. I plan on doing just that with my best guy friend. I gave myself a deadline and hopefully everything will turn out okay, but if it doesn't, he's your bestfriend, and this shouldn't change that. Good luck!

sunnycomet agony auntRight now is not the best time for him to be in a relationship. If you get together with him you risk being a rebound. Wait until he heals and is over her. Once he stops hurting then try your luck at a relationship. For now just be a supportive good friend.

Good Luck!
