I need one too. Ben is dating a friend, and I don’t want to be lusting after someone I can’t have. ---

I’ve got a crush…on a friend of mine. I’ve been hoping it would pass, but to no avail. It’s all I can do to refrain from biting the buttons off his shirt. He has NO idea. I have no plans on letting him know, because I don’t want to freak him out. I’d rather have him just as a friend than as nothing at all. He’s asian (from Brunei), a former competitive bodybuilder, and truly a nice guy. I like that cloud nine feeling I get after hanging out with him. Has anyone here ever let their crush in on the secret? How did it go? Even if the crush wasn’t interested in you, did it freak them out, or were they flattered? I guess it must all be in the presentation! Alexx ---
