In love with a close friend - tell/don't tell?

[hotyman]

I've been in that kind of situation before.I told him how I felt and I'm glad I did.

Sorry for off-topic
but how did it work out? ;]

It worked out great. We've been together ever since.

I'm so confused, some say yes, some say no. : (
I'd like to tell him how I feel, because it's really hard to keep it to myself.

But I would never want to risk our friendship.
We're not REALLY close friends, not best friends, but we're closer than 'just friends'.
It's hard to describe our friendship, it's odd.

Just go tell him. If you don't do it now you might now get the chance to later.

As much advice as the members can give you though, you would probably be best discussing this with a family member, other close friend,etc.

Like I said, if hes a true friend (no matter how close)he definitely wont shun you as a friend.

My closest friend says I should give it a shot, but I'm still worried that it might go... Extremely wrong.

Take it from some of the older members who have been through this before, you wont feel good if you miss your chance. My friend watched a girl he loved
get married, and it was hard of him. He got over it but try no to miss your oppurtunity...

Wow this has been the deepest series of post I have ever made....

A saying:
"You always will have a no, but you can get a yes."

Go out and ask, you'll feel better.
I know I did although she rejected me "because she couldn't". :/

-poke- so...what? You'll go crazy like that. Tell him how you feel, get it off your chest, and don't leave anything out. If he's your close friend he's not just going to stop being friends with you because you're in love with him! And if you're in love with him and hide it, you two will quickly stop being close friends (as in, hide it and he'll definately notice you're hiding something...).

Long, weird explanation short:
Tell him, get it off your chest. If things go well you've got a boyfriend. If things go poorly then just smile and say you're fine staying as friends and that you just wanted to tell him.

Not the end of the world if he says no.

...though if the world does end five seconds after you confess, I signed nothing!
