Okay i have this best friend. the whole i tell him everything and he tells me everything. He can make me laugh forever. over the thanksgiving holiday we talked on the phone forever. 7 hours in two days!!! and at school we meet up between every classs!!! he has been my best friend for a really long time. we see every movie together. he will even see a chick flick if i beg him. he is 16 and takes me everywhere! i came back a day before he left and i wanted to say goodbye to him before he left. so he came by(brought me sour skittles too) and we hung out for a while before he left. when he gets back he is suppose to see a movie with me:) well recently i have discovered i have fallen head over heels for HIM. but i am so scared of many things.

1 he might not feel the same way?

2 if we break up what will happen to our friendship?

3 my parents dont like him, what trouble will that cause?

4 he dated my ex best friend, drama?

my most important worrry is that he doesnt feel the same. my other best friend (girl best friend) says it is obvious that he likes me, but i dont see it. lately he doesnt call as much and he talks about other girls he likes. but at the movies i caught him staring at me the whole time. and he was giving me a piggy back ride everywhere!!!???

so my question for you guys is, does he like me the same way? will it cause to much trouble? what should i do???

If you are close enough, you can read his mind and body language towards you.

Open it up girl. Talk to him, but slowly. Ask him what he feels about you. Dont take it too deep unless you are sure. Mind and feelings changes anytime. Prepare for the worst and jump in.

Good luck!!!

It looks like you answered your own question. I see too many red flags! When a friendship turns into a relationship, it could go either way...there are no garantees. The question is: Are you willing to risk the friendship you have for an unknown outcome? That's a decision only you can make...and it's not an easy one. I've been in two major relationships that started out as friendships, one turned out badly, the other turned out sad, but amicably. I can't help wondering that if we had never taken things to another level...would either of those guys still be in my life??? I'll never know, will I???

Decisions in life can be so difficult! But sometimes Indecision can be even more difficult!

Good Luck!

If you're really worried about it's probably better to just stay friends, but as for your concerns, there's not really too much to hold you back. If you're really good friends then you should be able to talk to him about it without causing any trouble, but it sounds as if he interested in you anyway. As for your parents and ex best friend, don't worry yourself too much. It's your life, have fun, don't worry about what they think. If it's meant to be, they'll get over it. And as long as you keep talking and having fun you should be able to stay friends even if you break up.

In summary, I say go for it, girl!
