Okay so my best friend and I have had a sort of weird past. I’m 8th grade, he liked me but I wasn’t even friends with him then. In 9th grade, we got closer and he still liked me but I didn’t want to mess up our friendship. And now we are super close, like talk every day and night and he is my absolute best friend. Recently, I think I’ve started to catch feelings for him and I don’t know what to do about it! His laugh always makes me smile, he gives me the best advice, and he makes me super happy. But, he said he was over his crush thing but sometimes he says things like he like me? I don’t know if I should try to make things work with him in a relationship or Ray best friends. Please help!!!

This is him btw...
