My Best Friend Likes Me. What Should I Do

What do I do if my best guy friend likes me and I like him back?

Likes you "how?"Friends generally, "do" like one another. What's different about your relationship? Will providing you with my thought on the matter really make a difference? If so how?  You feel the way that you do inside yourself. What will change if someone says go for it or sure its ok? What matters is how you feel inside yourself. It is our heart that convicts us. If your heart was ok with it, you wouldn't be asking the question. That's why I'm asking will my response or someone else's change your heart?That's like you  asking "is it ok to steal" and someone responds by saying, sure, or , yes and once you get that confirmation, you act on it. How is your heart convicting you? That's where you need to look, and then act accordingly. Just keep in mind that your heart isn't your emotions. Your heart is your conscience.

What should you do when your best friend likes you but you don't like him back?

The best thing you can really do is not go after him. I've been in this situation as the guy who walked away from someone's life, and looking back I know now that it was because I was a weak hearted human being when it came to love ( as many are, I suppose) and when I was told that she did not feel the same way, I needed time to myself, to understand the feelings I was experiencing, to see whether there was something in me I needed to fix, and in general get to understand myself better. I knew this person very well, and her reaction, and my reaction to it were startling to me, and I felt like I'd misunderstood myself.We've kept at a distance from each other. She has a boyfriend now. I know I miss her sometimes, but some things just can't be salvaged. We would have needed to become friends anew from the strangers we'd become, and the emotional weight of such an act was too much for me to bear. Would I want to be back in her life now, now that I've had time to think about it? I don't know, but I'd rather not find out.I fell in love after a few years of friendship. It wasn't premeditated. If this person became your friend with the intention of intimacy, it's better to stay away from them for your own sake. Dishonesty is, obviously, not to be trusted.

My bestfriend liked me, now doesn't, and I like her, what should I do?

You say she doesn’t like you. This could mean she doesn’t like-like you anymore, or she literally doesn’t like you at all now. You called her your best friend, so I presume the former and not the latter.Spend time together. Enjoy each other’s company. In a fun and happy moment when it’s just the two of you face to face having a good time, you can try asking if she’d be willing to try a real date with you. It’s worth a shot.But if she really doesn’t like you anymore to the point where she doesn’t even want to be friends, I’m sorry, but there isn’t anything you can do about it. Relationships require two people who both want to be in them. This is as true for friendship as it is for romance.Good luck!

My female best friend likes me. How do I make it clear to her that I do not want to date and that I enjoy her just as my best friend?

This is a safe bet.Ask her how she is doing. Bring the discussion towards relationships.Then out of the blue, offer to set her up eith one of your single friends.A bit unethical? Yes. Could it cause long term harm? no. Does it work? You bet.If she gets upfront and asks you out, either tell her politely that you dont see her the same way, or offer to go on a date, but as friends(the second option is again, risque , but if you make it clear it wont work, she will back off).Good luck.

My best friend likes me. How do I subtly make it clear to him by my gestures that I'm not interested in him romantically before he professes his love for me ? I don't want to break his heart.

I’ve been that guy. I had a girl that I was very close friends with, we were best friends, and I started to develop feelings for her. I knew that at one point she had felt something similar, because we had talked about it early in our friendship, but she had moved past that. The problem was that she was very flirty…we would go out to a bar to see a live band and she would come sit in my lap , she would make all kinds of double entendre jokes and texts…it was driving me crazy. I had just recently gotten out of a ten year marriage, had jumped straight into a relationship with someone that cheated on me and then told me the Monday before Thanksgiving…I was ina vulnerable spot, is what I ’m saying, so I was a little scared to just say point blank that I wanted to date her.Well, that went on for a while, and then suddenly she tells me one day that she met a guy and they are getting married. I was floored, and it really hurt. But the thing about it is, that was my own fault. I never told her how I felt, she was just being herself, and I was reading too much into it. I think she knew that I felt things but didn’t want to say anything because she didn’t want to hurt me when I was already down so low. But if she had just come right out and told me “I love you like a brother, I think you’re my best friend, and that is all I will ever see you as” (she had said the first two parts before at different times, never the third part) I would have been able to move past it before I ended up getting hurt.Now, let me say again - it was not her fault that I got hurt. She didn’t owe me anything, even saying what I just suggested she should have said. If she had said that to me it would have helped, but she was under no obligation to do so. She had never suggested that we might end up together, other than when we first talked about it when we were new friends. Everything between us had been built up in my mind alone. All I am saying is that if she did know how I felt, like you know how your friend feels, and she wanted to let me down easy before I went to far, as you say you want to do with your friend, then those words would have been the way to do it.
