How to Ask a Best Friend if They Like You  
HOW TO

When that old "check yes if you like me" method just doesn't seem right maybe you should try out these tips.

1.	Make sure you are sure you want to hear the truth! If you are really into him/her it can hurt (more than any other feeling I have personally felt) to hear that they don't feel the same way. Don't expect high results.
2.	Think long and hard about what you are going to say. I personally like the bog-standard "Look, I know this seems a bit random, but do you like me as more than a friend?" the problem with straight out asking is it can lead to awkwardness. Remember to act like it's no big deal. If your palms are sweaty and you are stuttering, he/she may take it too seriously and be nervous as well.
3.	Consider calling or even instant messaging. Only do this if you feel you cannot summon the courage to ask in person (these methods are not recommended). But remember, if you have strong feelings towards your friend, it is best to ask them straight out, face-to-face. It is less likely to be taken as a pratical joke and your sincerity will come across.
4.	Don't panic and don't get tearful on him/her if nothing goes according to plan. Don't push your friend away; keep talking to him or her, try and let it be known that your friendship is the most important thing. If he/she doesn't like you as more than a friend, try and laugh it off or make it seem like no big deal. If he/she does, you have two situations: you can either say that you like him or her too, and see where it goes (if you fancy the person) OR if you don't, reassure your friend that you still love him or her as a friend as much as you ever did, and don't let it change your friendship!
