this has happend to me quite alot what you nedd to do is be sly and try and find out what he thinks of you an if he whants to make somthing out of the relation ship.

dont rush intothis it will only make matters worse.

you need to know how he feels about you.

if you just come straight out with it he might start ignoring you and it may ruin your friendship.

try this its what i did and now we have been goin out for 4 years.

blackrose1988 agony auntThis happened to me a while ago. I'm quite shy and didn't say anything despite the fact that my friend was rather flirty with me. I was too scared to risk the friendship.

He got together with this other girl (who he's still with now) and one of my friends, who was drunk, happened to tell him that I liked him.

I say go for it because this guy and I are still really good friends. There's no awkwardness at all. I found out where I stood with him the hard way, if I'd just said something it would have saved me the torment of having to see him get together with someone else while I was still hoping something would happen between us. If he's mature enough - and a friend worth holding on to - you'll remain friends whether you decide to date or not.

Good luck hun! xxx

cd206 agony auntWhat's great about this question is your age. If a twelve year old had written this they would probably have been right when they said that the friendship would have been affected but by the time you're 18 it's not awkward anymore. If he's not into you you'll feel a few seconds of embarassment and then everything will be fine again. It doesn't have to be a big deal anymore.
