People are always saying that dating in HS is a waste of time, but are there some fundamental things related to creating healthy relationship better off learned in HS? I mean what if I get so used to not dating, and doing other things that I never learn to date, and never embrace the moment to start dating, because I'm just so darn used to not dating?
I guess it all boils down to thinking I might like one of my best guy friends. He likes someone else that likes him back, but their relationship can't move any further than it is now due to many reasons. We've known each other for 11 years, but recently are friendship has just blossomed into amazing, but I can't tell if there is more than just friendship on his side too. We flirt constantly, but that is kinda both our personalities (kinda sorta). Everyone asks if we are dating and we love hanging out with each other.
Another problem is that he almost dated one of my best friends about 5 months ago. This friend of mine has not hung out with me since school got out 3 weeks ago, and even before that it felt like she was swimming away from me. Anyway I'm better friends with this guy now than her by far, we hang out almost every day.
I've never dated anyone before, and everyone always makes a big deal out of who my first boy friend will be, and I don't want it to be a mistake to tell him that I like him.
I also have a secret admirer at the moment, I'm pretty sure I know who it is, and he just broke up with his gf. He says he's had a crush on me for 9 months now, and finally got the nerve to tell me. If it is who I am pretty sure it is, then I kinda want to see where that goes too. He is different, and has a very unique perspective on the world, and I definitely like to get to know him better, but if I take the chance of telling my best guy friend that I like him, we could date, meaning I'll never have the chance to do so.
I don't know what to do!? Should I just keep all my options open, and not commit to just any one guy, and see where each option can take me when there is more definite path showing it self, or should I just take a jump and tell my friend I like him, and forget about all the other things that go along with that?
