Crushin' on my BGF

I am totally head over heels for my best guy friend.  We have been friends since pre-school, maybe even before that, but he is a total jerk to me sometimes! When all his popular and cool friends are gone that’s when he is totally amazing and sweet.


I really want him to ask me out, but if he did I wouldn’t know what to do! If our relationship didn’t work out and he broke up with me I would be so crushed and mad at him that I don’t know if we could be friends anymore. I can’t let that happen so what should I do?

Hey girlie, crushin’ on your BGF is always a problemo. It's awesome to have a BGF. We love having our girlies to talk about boys, go shopping with and throw sleepover parties with, but it’s always nice to have some drama-free time with a BGF! However, going from “just friends” to “boyfriend” with your BGF can be a li'l bumpy.


The last thing you want is to unleash all your feelings, and then find out that he sees you just as a friend. Make sure that your BGF is interested in being your BF. To find out, try to act a little flirty around him and see if he flirts back! If he does, he prob likes you. Another way to find out? See if you or your BFFs can subtly talk to his friends, and find out his true feelings for you! He may be acting weird to you when he’s around his friends to avoid getting teased for liking you. If he digs you as more than a friend, pursue the relationship. If not, there are always more boys out there AND you still have him as a guy friend.


Remember: when you get into a relationship there’s always a risk that things may not work out. You just have to weigh the pros and cons. Would it be worth it to take the step from BGF to BF/GF? I know it’s scary, but if you never take the risk, than you’ll never know if he’s really the one. If he seems into you, I would go for it. Good luck, chica!
