What are your fears? If you tell him, he might say no, but it will blow over if you are good friends...

thats true! i have many fears in general but the one with this guy is that if we do start dating and it doesn't work out it may destroy the friendship so as in the old question do you take the chance or just leave it as having a really good friend

If you guys are really good friends then your friendship should survive this...

You could tell him that he is a really good friend and that you value his friendship very much and wouldn't want to do anything to hurt that...

But that you like him and would like to date him if he would be interested...

And if he isn't then you can stay being really good friends...

But maybe... He would like to do that.

I had the same happen to me with my best friend. We dated, fought a lot and split up, angry for a month, friends again, dated again, fought again... we have been on that rolercoaster so long, until we realized we were meant to be friends!

So you can definately remain friends, it's just natural in a guy girl friendship to go through it, and to try it and it either works or fails... Just don't complicated by sleeping together, that's a whole different story...
