A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm 15 and so are 1 and my other male friend.

At school me and my friends were playing around and one of my mates pushed me by accident I kind of tripped lol and I fell on this boy call him 1.

When I fell on 1 he smiled and gazed into my eyes, I got my balance up and said I’m sorry he smiled again and said no worries.

When I walked down the corridor with my mates they were laughing at me making jokes and saying things like awww that was so cute lol. Not in a bad way, like in a good way. I looked back and he was starring at me still, kept constantly looking back and smiling.

Now every time I see him he smiles, stares at me, always talks to me etc.... He is so friendly and nice. Before I never knew him at all, really if I think about it I only knew he existed because he was in one of my classes however I didn't know anything about him.

I asked my mates what he's like, and what they think of him, they said he's one of the popular boys, and I didn't know that. I asked my older mates from the years above they said yeh infect he's really popular.

After finding out he's popular I was shocked because he doesn't seem it, I was also surprised that he was so kind and generous and actually spoke to me because the popular ones are mostly stuck up and think there it, but he's the total opposite.

Lately we've been getting close, me and 1, we walk home together time to time from school, and I have his email address and phone number. We text and via mail constantly, I’ve gotten to know him quiet well, and once again surprisingly he hasn't been out with anyone, same here.

He even taught me different styles of graphite and how to draw them and now I can. My question it do you think I got a good chance with him? Meaning like being his girlfriend? Yh you probably thinking it's so obvious I have but there’s a problem,

lately also my male friend has told me he has feelings for me, I thought he did but I was hoping not, he’s a really sweet guy but I just see him as a mate and I feel terrible myself for not seeing him more than that,

But every time I really made friends with a boy I always looked for friendship not for them to be my bf, and I did make it clear oh well,

but what's worse it I’ve started growing feelings for 1 and I feel that he might ask me out, and if my male mate finds out he's going to be heart broken and probably not talk to me but he's a really supportive mate and I don't want to loose him, but I also don't want it to be one of those things were he's heart broken but watching me have a happy life while his is miserable and be my mate and feel more worse about himself.

Conclusion is I don't want to hurt him how to not do that? and should I go for it with 1 or wait. Or is he just being a nice friendly popular boy, or Is he into me. If you probably don’t know the answers to half of them then please suggestions will be good such to ask 1 out or find out if he’s into me. Etc.. How to not hurt male friend etc…. what to say to him.

hey

well are you sure you don't like your guy friend in that way?

i know you're probs going to think 'no way'

but really sit down and think about

who would you rather go out with?

are you just attracted to 1 because he's popular?

if you go out with 1 and then realise you prefer your guy mate

don't expect him to welcome you with open arms

cos you'd have probs lost him forever

just think about this before you do something you'll regret later on

boyfriends come and go but friends will always be there.

ilovebowsandcherries agony aunti think mr popular is into you missy!!

alot of popular guys aren't thinking they are all that and that,

with your guy mate you need to say to him that you prefer your friendship as just mates and that you don't want to ruin your friendship.

he should understand that you will like other guys.

if he still doesn't want to be your friend then he isn't much of a friend.

definately keep at it with mr popular ;)

he clearly likes spending time with you.

just see how they go with him.

but the guy mate has to understand your feelings that you don't want to ruin the friendship you guys have.

hope this helps hun.

keep me updated :)
