text: friend crush. what to do/how to tell your best guy friend that you have a crush on them? i met this guy about three years in one of my college classes. when we first met he said that he wasn't interested in a relationship because he had been in a bad relationship in the past and i wasn't looking for a relationship either. the problem is that it seems like the more i get to know him the more that i like him as more than friends. it is hard to tell whether he feels the same or not. it seems like we flirt a lot and we talk about everything. he is really shy and when he does do something flirty his face turns red. but the other day we went to a basketball game and he put his arm around me and then when he realized what he was doing he turned red and quickly put his arm down. i have tried to hint around that i like him as in for christmas i gave him a huge hershey kiss and told him that i had wanted to give him a big kiss for a long time. what should i do? should i tell him that i like him as more than a friend? anyone been in this situation? what was the outcome? thanks! it sounds like he already likes you, if you go off of what he did at the basketball game. one of you needs to make a move now, before it loses momentum and *gets weird*.  tips to avoid *getting weird* while getting your point across:  1. try not to be too serious about it, no matter how you feel inside. laughter is a great tension-breaker. 2. don't bring it up when there are other distractions around. 3. bring it up like you both know where the relationship is going. because you both do. don't play dumb about it.  and that's it, really. it will work. we have a tendency to make these things bigger in our heads, then we look back and see that it was a small step instead of a large leap. just give up, surrender...and do it.
