Hello, my names is Lizzie.
I have this really amazing friend who I think I'm beginning to like. I've liked him before and I told him but we grew very distant. Recently, we've been getting close again, but I think it's because he got turned down by one of my mates. He seems fine when we talk about it and he doesn't have a problem with them both just being friends. I don't want to 'push' myself on him.. but he's a really lovely guy and i know he'd treat me right because he's told me the way he respects girls. I'd love to give me and him a shot but I dont know if he does too. We get along life best friends and we always have a laugh together, even though he's usually shy when he's around my friends. Also, he's best mates with one of my exs so I don't know if that would influence him to stay away from me? But I'd love to tell him how i feel. I dont know what to do or say, and I really need some help asap? Would be much appreciated :thumb: xx

It's understandable you're apprehensive, you say you told him once before and it created some distance between you. The fact that you are getting close again could mean that he thinks that's all in the past or it could mean he's in fact now got feelings for you too - it's hard to say!
The not knowing can be really draining though but equally if you do decide to tell him you need to be prepared for what might happen. You might find this article useful. This kinda says it all, until you do it could be hard to think about much else..really only you can decide tho :chin:
