I'd give you advice,cause i sorta got the same problem,a little different though.i wish i could help,but i don't think i can.i'll try:comfront your friend and tell him that it's bothering you.try to be yourself around this girl,talk like your friends for a while and maybe you'll soon be more than friends.
ugh thats almost exactly the advice i've been following since 2nd grade
i've liked this guy since second grade,so i've talked to him every day since the begining of second grade,we are going into 8th grade now and were still just friends.
