Hey everyone, I told my best friend my secret, I gave him a note that said "I love you" and that was all it said. Did I make a bad choice, or a good one? He is acting way different now, and I hope I didnt make him feel weird, what do you think?:headbang:

I have no idea, but I'm glad you did it. Otherwise, you'd never have known, and then you might have been like Julia Roberts in "My Best Friend's Wedding" from what I can tell by the trailers.

Are you female or male? If you're male, and he isn't gay a bit of wierdness might be expected id guess.

Please. I know you own a copy and watch it religiously every night.

I'm Female.

My advice? Listen to some smooth jazz and eat some Chinese take-out. There's nothing you can do about it now, the cat's out of the bag, the pooch has been screwed, the gauntlets been thrown down, and the clichés have already started to rain like blood from the sky.

And you never want to be like Julia Roberts. Never.

I'm Female.

Freakin talk to him then, directly ask him about it. For a girl picking up boys is the simplest thing in the world. Just walk up to him and say 'relationship. Now'.

Well... You see, its just kind of hard, because my breath goes short when im gonna talk to him, if its about love, or relationships...

And you never want to be like Julia Roberts. Never.
Who wouldn't want to be an overrated, overpaid, overhyped actress with no talent, no attractiveness, and no personality? You get everything for nothing, I'd take her place in a moment.

get stoned first, or write him a note and pin it to your chest and then point at it

Well... You see, its just kind of hard, because my breath goes short when im gonna talk to him, if its about love, or relationships...

can you talk online? makes it less awkward.

oh, and i told a girl a slightly similar thing. except i've only seen her for 7 days. she lives in mass, i live in nj. hoorya for vacation! ;)
so do i get help?
(oh, male. down, down!)

....Umm...why not just hand him the note inbetween classes? is that not good? is that a bad thing?:( :( :( :( :(

You could try writing him a letter.

It's not like a conversation where you might say something you regret, you can read it over, re-write it and all that, until it's perfect, and exactly what you want to say.

Not the most helpful of advice.

Eventually you'll have to breach it. He's your friend, so no matter what you should be able to talk to him about anything. My suggestion to you would be to have a nice talk with the guy and sort out the future, coming to an agreement you can both live with; and don't stress over it. I'm sure it'll work out just fine. :)

Not the most helpful of advice.

getting stoned works. you ain't nervous at all, and everything seems more interesting.

I don't even know his phone number, but when we are signing yearbooks, I plan to ask. (hopefully sooner than the end of the year, perhaps tomorrow?)

Please. I know you own a copy and watch it religiously every night.

No, I really have never seen it. It looks like a crap movie.

....Umm...why not just hand him the note inbetween classes? is that not good? is that a bad thing?:( :( :( :( :(

I wouldn't if i were you. seems a bit... i dunno, childish.

well, considering it didn't say who it was from...
I was the one who handed the note to him, i said i wrote this for you.

Liasia']I wouldn't if i were you. seems a bit... i dunno, childish.
Oops...

Thanks so far, everyone, I was afraid that no one would respond to my post.

Liasia']getting stoned works. you ain't nervous at all, and everything seems more interesting.

Yeah, but ArticFox seems like a younger type of person, and you really shouldn't be smoking till you're eighteen.

Have you ever been in love with your best friend???

Yeah, but ArticFox seems like a younger type of person, and you really shouldn't be smoking till you're eighteen.
Unless she's in the UK, where there is no legal minimum age for smoking ;) (although it might be like...4, or something, that doesn't count)

Have you ever been in love with your best friend???

Hah. I was. I did nothing. I regret it now.

Oops...

If he's really your friend then it doesn't matter. Talk to him about something else, and you'll come to relationships eventually.

Liasia']getting stoned works. you ain't nervous at all, and everything seems more interesting.

Speak for yourself. Ever heard of paranoia? Enjoy the shit as much as the next but I would never ever even attempt to enter a nervous situation like that stoned. I don't even like seeing normal people in general when stoned. It is set and setting if you are nervous it will make it much worse unless you've convinced yourself it won't.

Now if you get drunk on the other hand...I've never heard of anyone that gets even more nervous after a few.

Yeah, but ArticFox seems like a younger type of person, and you really shouldn't be smoking till you're eighteen.
I never knew that being 13 was "younger" or that it would be this hard!

Yeh but drunk people are cocks. Depends what kind of shit you're smoking, with the paranoia. Sounds like you need to get a new dealer or something.

This isn't a legal thing. I've just found as a general rule of thumb that people shouldn't start smoking till they're around eighteen.

I don't even know his phone number, but when we are signing yearbooks, I plan to ask. (hopefully sooner than the end of the year, perhaps tomorrow?)

how old again?

and watch the yearbooks thing. write it down somewhere else, or you lose it, you lose the number.

ya live near em? i assume this if this is public school. thats what summers for.


*help me!!!*

EDIT: oh 13. love?



*help me!!!*

But I want a relationship now......I dunno if i can wait!

13:rolleyes:. So something childish is suitable then, eh?

I never knew that being 13 was "younger" or that it would be this hard!
You're 13?

Most people here are sort of 16+ I would say (with exceptions, obviously), so I guess that counts as "younger" :)

You're really going to have to bite the bullet and speak to him about your feelings in some way...whether face to face, over the phone, or through a letter (although face to face will need to happen sometime), it's the only way you can rescue your friendship, really.

Well, fair enough if that's what you think.

I live one town away... but now that i think of it, i could throw a summer party, invite him, and talk to him there! (the other day in gym he pulled up his shirt, and he was even hotter, perhaps a pool party would be a good idea?)

Have you ever been in love with your best friend???

OK, I understand this is hard...but if he's your friend you should be able to at least talk about this. Others suggested E-Mail or IM- do that if face-to-face is too hard. You can't let this be.

You're 13?

I dont think our friendship needs rescuing... I think he might like me, but im no expert. He keeps looking at me in social studies, science, and before homeroom and in gym.

good idea. make it a large party, get lost with him, talk, etc.

I like the party idea.

Feel the ferocious teenage angst! I'm 16 and i feel really left out, as i've never been the angsty type. *sigh* i need to go emo, and fast.

life is WAY too hard!

I like the party idea.
Thank you.

:p :p :p :p :p. funny shit.

no you don't. go non-social with video games!!!

less real violent, more fake violent!
no crappy music!
no fashion problems!
friends who don't hate life!
fun!
did i mention no violence!

life is WAY too hard!
Listen love...a few problems with a boy you like doesn't by any stretch of the imagination make life hard.

The other day i found out that he likes to skateboard, and so do i maybe that could help?

no you don't. go non-social with video games!!!

Already play games. Hence the NS at 2.30 in the morning. For some reason, violence just isn't appealing to me... cept when playing GTA.

Want to bet on that? ( i dont have any money, fyi)

Well...if I had some money then yeah...if you had some money...

Want to bet on that? ( i dont have any money, fyi)

I'd bet a freakin lot. There are people with real problems. If you can get acess to a computer, and can complain about your problems on NS then you aren't too badly off.

jeez. people come for advice and you shoot them down. :rolleyes:

let people believe what they will.

laissez-les tomber, IMO.
*no offense*

Well then the best way to move on is to talk to him. Just like before you gave him the note...go and speak to him.
????I cant do that not now!!!!!!! Its too late!!! he will never forget! *Slams head into wall* But he may like me... Its too hard to tell.

????I cant do that not now!!!!!!! Its too late!!! he will never forget! *Slams head into wall* But he may like me... Its too hard to tell.
IT's never too late...he's probably just weirded out by it, and wondering what he should be feeling, and what he should be doing. If you swallow your pride and your worries about it and take the leap and speak to him properly, you'll probably find it more or less sorts itself out.

As usual, Nadkor is right. Go talk to the kid.

None taken. I realise i may have been a bit harsh, but meh. I'm a harsh person.

I said the same thing too- but it is sound anyway.

Liasia']None taken. I realise i may have been a bit harsh, but meh. I'm a harsh person.

not you. the no offense was for the french. "let them fall" is a bad translation.

it seemed mean to anyone who understood it. to ArcticFox, not you.

though you were a touch harsh.

meh. whatever.

I was trying to imply that you had a history of being right, and since you were supporting my position, I would get reflected glory from your (alleged) past history of rightness. Devious, eh?

Oh right, yeah, I'm always right.

So, by extension, so is DrunkenDove. He's clever. Listen to him.

Have you ever been in love with your best friend???

Been there done that, if you don't say something to him then the chances of him saying something to you are pretty unlikely. There is no point in losing your friendship because the two of you are too scared to talk to each other, and there is no point then you not saying anything seeing how you've already taken that first step. If he likes you then he'll respond, if he doesn't then you have the choice of being friends or nothing at all, but not talking about it is going to get you nowhere.

Liasia']Yeh but drunk people are cocks. Depends what kind of shit you're smoking, with the paranoia. Sounds like you need to get a new dealer or something.

Haha no. It is "set and setting" as I was saying. It is larely dependent on the person individually their mood and attitude and the setting they are in. The type of weed has no effect. Just possibly it would be much stronger and then you would exibit more or less nervousness depending on how you felt about that. It is pretty interesting actually look it up.

If you two understand each other's jokes, and can make each other laugh then you should be ok. There's nothing worse than going on a date with someone and not being at the same level.

I'd kill to have some girl say that to me. Makes things so much easier.
