Not usually.
For me, Yeah definitely I like him more than a friend but... yah know
How do I tell my best friend I love her when I don't want to mess up the good friendship between us? She also has a boyfriend that doesn't treat her the way she should, and I could fix that.
simply tell them that you want to talk and you dont want what you say wont mess up your friendship
Tell him/her how you feel and ask that it doesn,t mess up the friendship if he/she doesn,t feel the same way.
Strange situation... It sounds like he's confused. It's best to talk to him and find out. Directly. NOTHING is proven until you get the words from him. As for your ruined friendship, try to talk that out too. Explain that it was all a mess because of this and that, etc. If it doesn't work, move on and find some other best friend. The true best friend will always forgive, forget, and understand.
Just ask, if she's a friend worth having, she'll still be your friend even if she doesn't like you like that, and if she does, well you have a girlfriend. There is Nothing worse than never knowing if that person likes you or not it'll mess up your friendship not to tell her.
he probably does like you,BUT do want to mess up your friendship which he truly values.
I was in the same situation. My advice: go for it. If she is a real friend, even if she says no, she will still be a friend.
Because one friend is doing something the other friend is not.
you tell him "why do little things mess up our friendship just be clear don't lie i want our friendship to last forever" in other words tell him or her that you know that their lying and if they don't stop and start becoming a loyal friend then you and his or her friendship will be over because the most horrible friends are he ones that lie!
if your best friend likes you and you have solid proof, GO FOR IT! however, if you're not sure then don't mess up the relationship by getting your friend to reject you. also, make sure you really like your friend, not just by looks, but also by personality. trustworthiness, loyalty, honesty, etc. you may lose the friendship if you ever break up because (either you or your friend) cheats, ignores phone calls, or does anything rude to anger the one. but if you two break up because you "just want to be friends" then the friendship may be saved.
damn dude that is harsh. i'd let him know, but than tell him you only told him because you wanted to let him know how you felt. than tell him you don't want to mess things up with your relationship between your best friend. or even possibly the friendship between you and the guy.
You should try to talk to her about not wanting to ruin the friendship you have with her. If you both can fool around while keeping your feelings to a minimum then it should work.
