i have feelings for my best friend and i want to tell him how i feel. but i don't want our friendship to end or for us to grow apart because of it. i want to know how he feels so i can know whether or not to move on. should i tell him?

YES YES YES...life goes by fast girl it really does you need to take chances like you took the cance to accept christ and live for the man. Everyone has that someone for them out there, so dont sit back and think what if i would have asked. Because if you do YOU WILL NEVER KNOW, and if he even is not into you that way ATLEAST you know he is still *your best friend* you have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING TO GAIN! let your heart be your guide

I would suggest that you don't say anything. Be his friend, grow closer in your friendship and if the two of you are meant to be more than friends it will become apparent later on. But seriously take time to pray about it, and you can drop hints that you might like him as more than a friend without having to be explicit and risk making the friendship awkward. But my advice would be to remain friends for now.. The greatest and strongest relationships grow from solid friendships.

I recognize the predicament... I myself was very infatuated with my best friend at one time. We have been friends for now 10 years! One day in high school I told her how badly I had a crush on her in the 8th grade and she was shocked, she felt the same way, but neither of us said anything because of fear. If you like him you can tell him...things don't have to be awkward if it doesn't work out. To avoid awkwardness, just approach everything like you normally would. Lots of people make it awkward becuase they go out of their way to not seem like they like the person. Tell him, and go on with life...if something happens cool...if not keep going and some one else will come along...they always do.

You all missed a very important essential point when dealing with problems..PRAY Matthew 7:7-.."Ask and you will recieve, Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you" ;)

Give it some time. If he feels the same about you then he will let him come to you.

yes i think  you should tell him. its not easy. trust me i just recently had that hapopen to me. If he is your best friend then he'll understand were your coming from. if he feels the same great, but if he dont.. then move on. but if he is your best friend then he souldn't back away but set boundries so you will know how he feels about you. BUT THE NUMBER ONE THING TO DO IS PRAY TO GOD TO SHOW YOU THE ANSWER. hopefully my advice helps.
