Tell him.If he feels the same then you have created a new relationship.If he doesn't then he will be flattered.If he is offended and doesn't want to be your friend any more then better now than later...

Thanks for the reply. Your prolly right, its just such a hard thing to talk about. I guess I'll suck it up and hope for the best

John I think homerx has good advice. And yes your situation sure is a difficult thing whether a person is male, female, gay, straight or bi etc. If it were me I would prepare myself for all of the outcomes that homerx mentioned and definitely tell your best friend exactly how you feel about him. If it were me I would say I want a true answer how his heart feels and if it's not romantic love then hopefully he can still share best friend love! I hope you'll post an update here. I wish you the best -- you sound like a sweet guy.

I actually decided not to tell him how I feel. I love him so much I don't want him to feel weird around me or feel he cant be himself. He has told me he's straight so unless he tells me different I think i just have to be his friend. I just couldn't bare to lose him.

Thanks for the update, John 211. Maybe you're accurately judging that he's not ready to even hear how you feel about him and it's understandable that you don't want things to be "weird" if it would cause you to lose his friendship.

On the other hand, if it ever came to be the right time to tell him, I think it would be best to do it. You could stress that it's okay if he doesn't feel the same way you'll still be his friend as you don't want to lose him as a friend.

You, him, popcorn and Brokeback Mountain to watch together? Just listen for any comments he makes? hmmmmm just a thought.
