recently i've just found out that one of my best guy friends likes me as more than as friend. But i have known him for a very long time but i have only ever seen him as a friend and probably always will. I dont think he knows that i know he likes me but i was wondering if i should tell him that i know and would only like to stay friends. My only worry is that our friendship won't be the same.

personaly i wouldnt bring it up unless he does.
Nope, neither would I. It might not even be true and even if it is, it's not nice for him to think that it's been discussed about behind his back.
Hi wild!
I agree with dark. If you brought it out in the open I think he would feel a bit foolish & things would never be the same again xxx
This is one of the major problems in platonic friendships - one side, and it is usually the guy, wants to move it on a stage, and the other half of the relationship is comfortable they way things are.

I would agree - don;t bring it up, but be prepared if he looks like making a move.

It can be difficult to salvage the situation, and the friendship, but it can be done. If he makes his feelins known, tell him how flattered you are, but don;t lay it on too heavy about not feeling the same way - he will get the message from your body language and lack of response.

Although - as advised, someone may be misreading the signals, or the conversation. I have had a lot of seriously close platonic girlfriends, and seriously fancied all of them, and even been in love with some, but never made any move because my philosophy is, if a woman wants to move things on, she will let you know. If she doesn;t let you know, save your friendship from damage, don;t go there.

Maybe somone could point that out to your friend, and save trouble later on.

Good luck.

thanks for the comments, its just that i've been in almost the exact same situation a while ago and even though i broke it in the gentest way possible, it broke the guy's heart and i just don't want to have to go through that again
