Time to stop handing out my opinions and ask for some instead.

There's a guy I fancy, and we've known each other since we were little, I really fancy him, but I don't know how to make that clear to him without jepordising our friendship.

I want him to know and to give him the opportunity to do something about it without embarassing either of us.

Anyone have any (constructive) suggestions?

The chances are if hes stuck around you for long enough he probably thinks the same. Genuine platonic relationships are very few and far between (as far as men are concerned at least), so hes probably been harboring feelings for you anyway.

Just be discrete and ask. If, by any slim chance, he is just a friend he shouldn't take any real offence anyway.

It shouldn't really matter, in my opinion, if the friendship is a good one. The only time there's likely to be anything that matters is you get together and do things to annoy each other and destroy what you had. But that is a chance you'll have to take if the feelings are mutual.

Just come out with it in a way that's natural and comfortable for you, and see what happens.

I think you should just go for it. If you've known each other since you were kids and you're close it should turn out fine whether or not you end up getting together. I went through the same thing with a really close friend of mine that I've known for ten years... so, I'm pretty much talking from experience... xx

i'll know to watch out for that then FYI with me you need to be as subtle as a sledge hammer

no turn up looking hot, blow him away
