A good friend was in love with me, but gave up because I've been in a relationship, which is now going bad. I still have strong feelings for my friend and want to be with him. Is it too late? What can I do?

Email him and talk about other things in common and at the end, say, call me sometime and maybe we can have dinner.

1. Break up with current S/O
2. Chill out for a couple of weeks
3. Look up friend and let it be known you are available

Please don't pursue anything with him unless its real. By making him your "rebound guy", you will only crush him. Take some time before deciding.

dont mess him around, dont rekindle somthing he may have spend ages getting rid of, only to then maybe not be happy with him. it would kill him

The problem is he already told me a few months ago that he only wants us to remain good friends, that he 'pushed back' his feelings for me because of my relationship.

I can't just expect him to alter this 'only friends' feelings.... If that's the way he feels, that's (rather) fine with me.
But if this thing together could work out (I think it could), I will never forgive myself for not having been completely honest about this.

The fact is, if I tell him, I will probably just scare him off. That is, if he was completely honest with me at the time. It could be he wasn't, I know I wasn't totally honest with him. I didn't tell him I really loved him at the time, I only told him about the physical attraction I felt. And I know, I probably should believe what he told me, and I probably shouldn't count on any 'changing of feelings'.
We already talked about this in the past. We're very very close friends, he's been a great support now that I finally broke up with my boyfriend (we have been good friends for years), and I am awfully scared I will ruin that by talking about my true feelings. But I don't know if I can stay 'just friends'. It hurts.

It's never too late! After all, "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow because yesterday's gone and today is here."

Simply tell your friend how you feel about him and see if he feels the same way about you.

If he does, then good luck and if he doesn't, then remain friends because you can never have too many friends.

Good luck and make sure that you don't use your friend as a "rebound guy." That is, don't transfer your feelings for your ex-boyfriend onto your current friend because that's not fair to him and you might find yourself without a boyfriend AND a friend!

Think about it!

You can probably let him know what you just said and your feelings. All that is needed in a partner is the heart and will and spirit to get on. Try not to have more complications.
