ehh, i think im in love with my best friend. Me and my friend matt have been best friends since 8th grade, now were going to be sophmores. He's also my neighbor and i cant really think of a way to describe our situation except if you watch Laguna Beach. It's kind of like LC and Stephen. Theyve been best friends and LC has always really liked stephen. Yeahh. it kinda sucks seing as i dont know if hes into me. idk what to do.
Since I don't know Matt, I don't know how he thinks. You said yourself that when you've told him your feelings before, he didn't react in a bad way (which is good.) If he wasn't at all interested in a relationship with you, he'd tell you. Maybe he is a shy person, and you might have to "take the lead" so to speak. Or maybe he's trying to find out just how much you like him. Flirt with him a bit and send him some signals. See how he reacts. Or if your more of a direct person, sit him down and just tell him how much you like him, and that you're interested in a relationship with him. That should get a pretty direct response from him. If you have to, ask him what his feelings are for you.
I hope some of this helps you to decide what you'll do next. I know it's kinda hard telling someone you like them because there is always a chance you'll hear the response you dread. Stay positive, and realize things will work out, if not now, at somepoint.
Best of luck from a friend, Nick

the only thing im worried about is that i have told him in the past..seeing as i have had feelings for him on and off for a while. When i told him he didnt react in a bad way but the relationship never went anywhere.
I think the best thing that you can do is tell Matt that your feelings for him are stronger than just friends. I honestly believe that you will get positive feedback.
I was in a very similar situation. About a year ago one of my best friends told me that she liked me as more than a friend. I was thrilled, because to me she was an amazing person. The few months following were great...We became even closer than before. Right now, though, we're just friends (but still very close.)
I think it's worth telling Matt. Even if things don't work out, your friendship will still survive because of the strong bond you already have.
