text: what should i do? whenever im near my closest guy friend my heart starts beating faster and we both fumble our words. he blushes alot when hes around me to. we are really close friends and i like him like him but m not sure if he likes me back... how do i stop this akwardness and start going out with him?! be real brave one time when you are together and lean over to offer him a kiss.  wrap your hands around his face and seal the deal.  if he liked you, there will no longer be any question.  if he wasn't sure, the decision will be clear.  if he didn't like you, he would back off and ask what this is all about.  he may even sound upset at this.  in any case, you will have acted on your desire, and your intentions will set the pace of the relationship.  if both of you are fumbling and blushing when you are together than i would think you both like the other, but both of you are unsure of the others feeling.  give this a shot.  good luck and best wishes.
