Need to tell friend of 3 years. - January 11th 2012, 09:34 PM

I didn't really plan on doing it until I got past high school, but I need to tell my friend that I like him more than as a friend since he stopped talking to me and is avoiding me.

He doesn't go to the same school as me, which makes it really hard because when your friend that goes somewhere else starts ignoring you, you can't just show up and say "Hey you're hot btw."

I'm bisexual and he's honestly the only boy I've ever been attracted to, it's mostly girls, but I'll try to keep that to myself somewhat so I don't offend him . He's not girlish or bi or gay for that matter, he has a girlfriend. I have no idea how he'll react, but I think that might be why he's ignoring me; a limited knowledge such as only knowing I'm attracted to him, when I actually care about him more than family.

I don't know where to start, facebook sounds like the beginning of a horror movie. Calling... well fuck if he'd pick up I'd be so amazed I'd have to put down the phone and go run to Ripley...

We were best friends for a long time... he did care about me too at one point, but I doubt he even thinks about me anymore. And no saying it's hopeless, this happened a while ago when he DID go to my school and I got him to talk to me again (just don't even question about that, it's unrelated...). I know there's some way I can be friends with him again, and if I can't he needs to know at least. I can't move on, so no talk of that either. Well... I can... but ONLY after I can tell him how I feel and know he'll be OK.

I think it's best to wait to get him in person. Maybe try to facebook him and tell him that you wanna hangout. but please tell him how you feel even if you know he would feel the same way it's better to get your feelings out because if u don't it will eat you up inside...trust me

I think calling is the best place to start but I have no idea what to say. how much I love him would seem obsessive which is what is hard to get across...

Perhaps call him and ask to meet up? You could meet somewhere neutral, like a park or town or something. And then just tell him how you feel. It might be hard, but if it's going to bother you it's better out than in.

Only problem is like I said even if he did pick up it would be really weird... and if I said something like "We need to talk..." it would just be like... trying to tell your kids their dad just died or something.

Could you just ask to meet up, not mention having something to say to him?

Well since he hates me or something for whatever reason he would just say no.

I don't know.. Maybe just calling him and if he picked up it would be proof enough that he doesn't right out hate me and I can talk to him... but I'd still have no way to get him in person. I think I mentioned I'm friends with a girl here that used to be his best friend and he still talks to her. I could say something to her, but idk what.

Calling would definitely be a good first step. If he doesn't pick up, then at least you tried and if he does then you've made some progress.

If you can't manage to talk to him, maybe talking to the girl would be a good idea. It depends how much you think you need to tell her and how much is suitable to tell her.
