     I think you should tell him. If you don't, believe me, the relationship will change as if you had told him. You will not talk as much, because you'll be afraid he knows... and for so many other reasons. You should just tell him. He might like you back! If not, take a break 'til your crush is over, but agree to hang out (as friends!) when it's done.

     I think you should just wait a little bit and see what happens with you and your best friend. Like you said YOU THINK you are falling for him. You aren't completely sure. Wait and see, you might have a change of heart.

     I was in the same situation as you. I had feelings for my best friend for 2 years before I told him how I felt. He didn't feel the same for me as I felt for him. Obviously I felt like an idiot at the time. We didn't speak to each other for 6 months after the confession. Looking back, it was the right thing to do because I got it off my chest, and I wasn't hiding anything. It was no longer tearing me up inside. Being apart from each other forced us to grow up and now we are back to being best friends and there is no weirdness between us. We also communicate much better now. So I think you should tell him how you feel. If he feels the same way, that is awesome, but if he doesn't you can express how you feel and take it from there. You don't know if the relationship will become weird. If he cares about you, he will not run away. Hope that helps. :) Good Luck!

     You really should wait for signs that he likes you back. If you notice that he stares at you or if he gets shy around you, take charge and ask him out. The only problem with asking out your best friend however is that things usually never go back to the way that they used to be if you break up. Are you willing to sacrifice everything you have now for a fling that may only last a few months? Take all this into account. Good luck.

     Wow...I've definitely been there sooo many times. You say that you've just fallen for your best friend--do you think it's just a temporary feeling, or is it the real heart-thumping crush? I would (and did, for that matter) wait to see how these feelings sort out...it might pass, it might not. If it doesn't, try to see if you can read how his feelings are (hard, I know). Or, crazy as it might seem, just come right out and tell him! You could learn so many things. Be honest, and tell him exactly how you feel. If he really does care about you (as a friend, or as something more), he'll tell you exactly how he feels. If it makes you feel any better, I did this when I felt for my best friend, and we're coming up on our eighth month together.
