Is it normal to not be able to tell a boy i've liked for 7 years?

Well there's this really cute boy, we've been best friends since I was 5 and he was 7! I've loved him for 7 years now but I've never been able to tell him that I do. I donk think he has a girlfriend but I've always been scared of rejection so I don't have much experience, what should I do?

    I've had feelings for a male friend for about six years and I've never once told him. I've been able to tell him very personal things like my sexuality, yet I've always been a coward when comes down to what I feel in my heart... I feel like There are too many things that will keep us apart, but your story doesn't portray them. That being said, I think you should tell him instead of let him slip through your fingers.

    Good Luck!

    If you liked him since you were 5 and he was 7, and seven years passed, I compute you are now 12 and he is 14.
    12 is much too young to even be having THOUGHTS like that! If cource, as I am type aromantic asexual I'm afraid I can't help you much, only to say that you should try to stop thinking about liking this boy and just be friends with him, although if this is impossible, just avoid him.

    He is major cute and kind and I really wanna go out with him, I feel like he's trying to say he likes me - he keeps finding an excuse to give me a hug.

      Then he likes you ..maybe a lot. Tell him that you would like to hang out somtime. That will get it started. Where it goes from there is up to you. :-)
