Well, first of all, the fact that he doesn't come right out and say "I like you" doesn't mean that he doesn't.

A few years ago there was one girl whom I would talk to about all my girl problems. She was always there for me with a listening ear and advice whenever I talked about other girls. Eventually, she and I ended up getting together. The thing is, I initially never thought of her as a girl I "liked" - we just had a really good chemistry and things sort of just happened. Looking back, I'm sure it was frustrating for her to hear me talking about other girls all the time, but things still turned out great.

My point is, don't give up hope. The fact that you're really close with this guy means that sooner or later your real feelings for each other will probably come out. Use your time with him to try to bring out whatever chemistry/synergy exists between the two of you, and I'm sure he will come to his senses

Hey Gossip girl 911,
When i read your post, i couldn't help to relate to your situation!
I know exactly what that feels like!

First of all, when i was in this situation my guy friend would tell me all the girls (some of who were my friends) he was after, and i secretly could NOT take it. I was thinking, but I LIKE YOU!! heheh

Anyways, basically what i ended up doing was building up the courage (which let me tell you was NOT easy, and i just told him, look buddy i like you, and i just need to get this off my chest). Now, we are not together, but let me tell you how happy i am that i said something. I feel relieved, and now we can just be friends, and the best part is he doesn't tell me about girls anymore.
I hope this advice helps, and good luck with this situation.

Does anyone else have any other similar experience?

Hey Gossip girl 911,
I can also relate to this situation!
I can see why this must be so hard for you and when I think back to my similar situation I remember not knowing what to do too. Have you told any of your other friends the way you feel about him?
I agree with Dalia, telling him how you feel will probably make you feel better in the long run!
Goodluck with the situation, keep us updated on how it's going!
