If its him who just wants to be close friends, he obviously likes you a bit but doesn't want anything too serious he just wants something like friends with benefits. If its you who just wants to be close friends, let him know how you feel before its too late. You don't want to lead him on.
He will still feel feelings for you but says he just wants to be friends and that's what friends do .Right?
Usually, when a girl just wants to be friends with someone, they just want to be friends. Girls never have ulterior motives behind their actions. And being in a relationship is trusting the other person, so you do nothing.
If he says he just wants to be friends that means he just wants to be friends so YES you should believe him.
You wait, and when you start to feel a connection, start giving hints, it takes time.
Be friends.
Maybe she doesn't feel the same way you feel about her, maybe she just wants to be friends. You should ask her how she feels!
Tell your boyfriend how you feel about it.
That he wants to be friends or just wants to talk. A smile is a invitation (: -kriss
Become more social with him,ask him if he wants to go somewhere as "friends" then tell him a few days later that you have feelings for him and so on. But he just wants to be friends so be his friend. You never know where that may lead.
It depends on how your best friends feel about him if they like him tell them you like him and they may understand and tell him how you feel or they are not your best friends and just go along of what he is doing with them. Your crush and your best friends are jerks if they don't let them have him or he wants them and not you. Tell him that you are jealous. Tell him how you feel also.
Tell him how you feel and if he feels the same way then lucky you. If he just wants to stay friends ,then at least your still friends. right :) Good luck!
