I know i should stop liking one of my good friends, but i can't help feel the way I feel about him. I'm pretty sure he doesn't feel the same way, but I want to stop feeling attracted to him because I don't want to hurt our friendship. I feel awkward having this crush since we've been good friends now for more than two years. I just know I am not his type because his standards of a future gf are very high. Also, he's a devout Protestant, while i was raised Catholic.. but he prefers to date someone of the same faith.
Since liking him, I get all uncomfortable and shy whenever he's around since my feelings for him are getting deeper.. I don't think I could ever tell him, nor do I want to keep having this crush since I don't want to get potentially hurt or get into a relationship right now... but would it hurt our friendship if i ever got a chance to say how i feel?..

It could hurt the friendship unless he likes you too.....
You could ignore him or something. But then he'd probably wonder why!

You need to ask yourself which would you value most. Friendship or potential lovers? If you really do value your friendship with this guy but find yourself being physically attracted to him, you need to try and find something that will avert your attention from him. Hang out more with other friends. Date more. Try thinking gross things about him. The more you hang out with him, the worse it could get.
It is possible that you could ruin a friendship if you tell him that you want to take it to the next level. Especially if his feelings aren't reciprocated in return.

Stop taking baths, don't wash or fix your hair. Don't change your pad, that will do it every time. Wear the same clothes everyday. Do all of these for a couple of weeks and I'll guarantee you'll have to find new friends in a month, maybe sooner.

from personal experience, i fell for my good buddy andmade a mistake of telling him. things have now changed from bad to worse. i cant just go visit him cos am afraid he will not appreciate my presence. ever since i told him how i feel we are not free with each other so i suggest indulge in self motivating activities and avoid situations that make you vulnarable to certain things like you being alone together in his bedroom
