SHE LIKES GUY FRIEND WHO IS MOVING

Dear Jellybean,

Okay I think that I might have fallen for my guy friend. I've had the biggest crush on him for years! well he might be moving in july so I only have a couple of months left with him. I don't know what to do! Should I tell him how I feel? I'm afraid that he won't feel the same. I kinda think that he might like me back but I'm just not sure. When it's just the two of us together the sparks are flying and we have so much chemestry! Please help me!

Dear Writer,

This is a tough call. If you confess your feelings to your friend and he likes you back, you could get to enjoy a new kind of relationship, and new levels of emotion, with him. That's the best possible scenario, right? Except that when he moves in July (if he does - you say he "might" be moving), it could be harder than ever to let him go.

Of course, even if you don't tell him how you feel, it will still be hard to let him go. And then you'll always wonder what could have happened, and if you two could have spent those last few months together as a couple, if you had made your move. So it will still be hard to let him go, and you'll have all these regrets.

But then there's the other side of things. What if you tell him you're crazy for him, and he says, "I like you as a friend"? That could make things awkward between you, and you might find the friendship falling apart, even before he moves away. What a sad ending to a long friendship.

So my advice is, tell him how you feel only if you have a pretty strong sense that he feels the same way. Even then, give some serious thought to whether this would make you feel better, or worse, if he moves away. Would you rather let him go as a friend, knowing there could have been more, or let him go as a boyfriend, knowing you can't have him that way anymore? There's no right answer here, just your feelings.
