So I like this guy. Maybe he likes me, maybe he doesn't - who can tell with these annoying mixed signals?
Regardless, I need to become better friends because he is a great guy, we have a lot in common and we work together at a volunteer club.
But the way I feel makes me so nervous and awkward that we are really strained around each other.
When we have something to talk about its great because we have very similar senses of humour but when the ideas run low the silence gets really uncomfortable. Online we're fine too (we joke back and forth on myspace all day) but in person I choke up, mumble, get stuck for words and end up avoiding him so I don't have to deal. I think he's picking up on my nerves too because often the awkwardness seems to be mutual.
Has anyone successfully made friends in spite of romantic feelings?
Has anyone overcome the nerves those feelings give you when talking to someone you like?

Hello! Just get him to accept that he loves u and everything will be fine..
Maybe u can take help from your best friend to know his feelings.
All the best!

It's really hard. I'll be the first (well, actually the second) to admit that it isn't all easy going. The thing is, you have to accept those feelings, but more importantly, you need to be yourself. Just talk about things you are comfortable about. If you run out of ideas, ask him about his opinion of something you feel strongly about. Maybe you are not supposed to be friends, although I hope, for your sake, that this isn't the case. And if it all comes to a halt, take a break. Try not to see him for a few days, and maybe when you see him again, your friendship will be a lot better off

One time there was this girl who was pretty hot and she wanted to go out w me, but we didnt really no eachother that well so we sort of lost contact with eachother. After a year of not talking were now good friends. So if u want to just be hisfriend thats really easy. but since he sounds sort of nervous around u that proboly means he has feelings 4 u. id ask him to hang out sometime while ur volenteering. i GUARANTEE he'll say ok, and this will make u feel much more comfortable around eachother.
