honest opinion from myself
is tell him, i hate it when women won’t tell us there feelings, friends or not, if somone really likes somone that much, then the way i see it, you can’t just be friends with them anyway
so nothing to lose, you lose the friendship.. or you gain your man of your dreams
call him now :) let us know what he says, if he tells you to pish off then don’t blame me, blame my upbringing :)
