Fix body language

flirting or friendly?? crush on my best friend of eight years. Body language speaks loud, right?

We used to always get teased that we would end up married, cos being a girl it's not the norm to have a really good boy-mate. He's funny, clever, good looking and makes me laugh more than anyone else in the world. When we are together, we talk like there is no-one else there, but is it just cos i am good to talk to or something more than a friend to him? I started to like him 2 years ago, and really tried hard not to think about it, because i'm terrified if i ask him directly he'll freak and stop being such a great friend. Plus, even if he does like me, he might not know i return the feelings, because if anyone asks me if i fancy him i deny it prefusely. Sometimes, it's like he's making excuses to get close, like once we went on a walk, and childishly when we saw other people we hid in the heather, lying close in the wet. It was thorny and unconfortable, but at the same time, i was so consious of him that i just wanted to kiss him, but i was too scared.It's a delicate situation.

1. he likes you and dose not know how to tell you you will find out that he is thinking the same thing
2. My husband who I've been married to for four years was my best friend for...(have to think)...seven years, but we knew each other since kindergarten. Your description sounds EXACTLY like us. Always spending time together, best friends, excuses to get close...yep, he feels the same way for you that you feel about him! It is scary but I would tell him what you think and I bet you will be pleasantly suprised! I told my guy and am really glad I did!!! :) Good luck! :)
3. If I was you I'd just go for it........he's a guy, we'd appreciate the up front approach......and if he's not interested that way back, it's not going to ruin your friendship.......
4. Go for it!!!!!! I so know how you feel I started liking my best guy friend at the beginning of the year. We started getting closer and closer and closer. I finally just kissed him and we began fooling around... to make a long story short he was not ready and I was, but we did not end up being a couple. We are still really good friends and if you all are that close then even if it will not work with you all being a couple you will still go back to being friends, if you really care for one another. Way things out, talk about it, act upon it, if you all are meant to be together it will happen. Good Luck! SMILE
