so i tell my best friend that i like him and he takes it the wrong way. now he is not talking to me because he says that he cannot hang out with a friend he has knows so long that likes him. we were best friends and now were nothing. (in his eyes). i still love him as a best firned and its like he thinks i will jump across the couch (on top of him) if we see eachother. the reason why i told him i liked him is because i thought he liked me too, i thought he was too shy to tell me so i broke the ice. we always talk about sex and stuff together and how he wants to lose his virginity so i took it as his way of saying that he liked me. i dont understand how you can be friends for 5 years and nothing within a day. we were so close that my mom and his mom even let us sleep over eachothers houses...i find it hard to understand...we have so many memories together...i think he likes me...

does this mean that he never really enjoyed hanging out with me? (because if we were friends for that long then i would think he would want to talk about the situation. when i told him he just out and said we cant hang out anymore...and since then we havent talked)

does he like me and is afraid of what others will think, so he is running away from him problems?

what should i do to get my best friend back? (i still love him very much and he is very close to my heart, i dont necessarly wanta relationship, but if we had one i would be very happy, and i told him i couldforget about the whole think, but he wont drop it)

i write in a journal about my thoughts eveyrday. (about what i would tell him if we were talkin and how i feel about thesituation, one day when we arefriends again, i want him to read it)...

help...what do i do?

Hey. I had the exact same thing happen to me. But I dated the guy. Then broke up and we were best friends and then I told him i still had feelings for him. And then he stopped talking to me. But in my situation we havnt talked since and that was in september. But thats mainly cuz he had a girlfriend. But anyways. I think in your case hes just shocked by your confession. Maybe he has feelings for you back he just doesnt realize it. Im sure he will come to his sences and realize that he wont have another best friend like you and he will call you up or soemthing. Just give it time. He probably just needs space and time to adjust to what you told him.

Ask him if you can have a chat then tell him you want to be friends again and that you will accept it if that's all he wants too. Tell him you value his friendship and do not want to lose it because of a silly remark.
