Is this a bad idea?

I know should have told my best friend that I want to be more than friends already, but I am not really sure how, should I make up some email address and send her emails from it telling her that I know someone who likes her? (not giving a real name for the person sending emails) and then try and get her to guess, or would that be a bad idea
 
what are you? 14 years old? ..u dont go into that zone if ur already best friends...unless ur damn sure he/she likes u back or else it becomes all wierd.
 
Since this is a double post...

I think she would have a lot of respect for you if you asked her yourself. Just say something like, "Don't you think it's great when two friends become a couple?" or something of that nature.

The worse she could say would be "no."

 


<< maybe you can also quote the song, &quot;every breath you take.&quot; >>

That song was about stalking, you know...
 
I am graduating this year, and so is she, I want to tell her because she is going away and chances are that I will not see her very much, I don't think she is the type of person to let something like this get in the way of friendship, but I am scared

Hehehehehehehehehe...

Kind of ironic, eh?
 
I know - and sending e-mail saying &quot;someone likes you&quot; doesn't say strange?

Dude, either tell her or let it go - don't do something freaky like sending random e-mails -that's just not right....
 
yeah I am not a stalker either, she is my friend, but I am just worried about what will happen if I do tell her, and so I am doing what I do best, procrastinating, and trying to get an answer without actually having to ask the question, if I do the email thing, what should I say, should I say peoples names and ask what she would think if it was that person?
 
The e-mail thing is stupid. Either ask her out and go from there, if she accepts.... Or just let it go... Don't be a pussy.
 
Just ask her in person. By doing so, it'll let her know you're more serious about it (hopefully you won't be &quot;showing&quot; her how serious you are though).
 
just ask her out...better than left wondering &quot;what if&quot;...

if she says no, then so be it..life goes on...salvage what you can of the friendship..there's a chance you'll be closer friends after letting her know (not bf/gf, but good friends)...
 
I think you should just ask her in person. The email thing is not a good idea IMHO. By not talking to her directly you are not showing how serious you are. Also, she might be pissed off because it's kind of a dirty trick almost. Also, she'll suspect it's someone she knows, because of the names you're giving her, and she might speculate and think it's another guy and show interest in the wrong guy. She might not tell how she really feels because she doesn't know for sure who is emailing her. I think you should talk to her in person. It will show her how you feel and show her that you are serious. Also, it is a more mature way than the emails.
 
Oh good lord!! Why don't you just have a friend give her a note that says &quot;My friend likes you. Do you like him? Circle yes or no.&quot; Freaking childish!!

Jeebus dude....grow a pair and just tell the girl!!!
 


<< I have already started doing the email thing though, she is responding to every one >>

dis is a veddy bad ting you've done, veddy bad! Man, too bad you don't drink...least it would help to get some liquid courage, cause this e-mailing this isn't going to work...why would she even guess that you're the one that likes her? You're prolly gonna be the last person on the list, right behind that guy down by 7-11 that keeps asking for spare change. You're best friends...you need to tell her how you feel, and then open her up to the possibility that she might have, or could have, feelings for you also.

Or take her on one of those daytime talk shows...don't they always do those crush/best friend shows? And you get a free trip out of it, and maybe you even get to meet one of those chicks that got picked on in hs, but now she's back to show everyone what she's done w/ her life...some of those girls are kinda hot....if things don't work out w/ your best friend, go for one of them 😉

Very bad idea. But if you are dead-set on being more than friends then for God's sake quit your asinine game and tell her personally. Just stop sending e-mails and with a little luck she'll never know it was you.
 
Uh oh, damage control!

What did you put in the email?

DO NOT EMAIL! How else am I supposed to get my point across.
 
If you already decided to send the emails why did you post. THat stops at like the 5th grade. Don't be a pansy and just ask if she wants to go see a movie with you this weekend or something, IN PERSON!
 
she already guessed me, but I told her to keep guessing, and it was kinda weird the way that she guessed me, because all the others had a couple names in it and mine said oh, how bout ___? So i told her to keep guessing, and once there are like 10 guesses I am gonna get her to narrow it down by saying things she likes about that person and stuff
 
in the emails I put
#1. I know someone who likes you, need more info
she said yes please
#2. I said it is someone you know,
she said not a good hint
#3. I told her that it was someone she was friends with
she said have a lot of friends, then asked same grade
#4. I said yes same grade
she said I need more hints
#5. I said you gotta guess some names
she guessed some
#6. I told her that I need more guesses
she guessed me
#7. I told her to keep guessing
she said no I need another hint
#8. I told her that it is someone who would never tell her that they liked her
she said hmm, who is this person friends with
