Wow, that's a very very tricky situation cheryl. I think childhood friendships are precious and if I were you, I definately wouldn't want to cause it to be any more weird feeling than it's had to go through already. I think you've got alot of changes going on in your body that are very very confusing for anyone when they first experience them and wow, it says a lot about your friend that he is still there along for the ride too. You are only just beginning to think you are finding guys interesting, and under the circumstances it's only the tip of the iceberg. You actually might not find them near as attractive once you've tried to take it to that next step forward. Friends that you cherish should be off limits when it comes to testing the waters. So, you really need to do a major brain wash on yourself with a big dose of self control and focus on how good a firend he is. Find somewhere to redirect your new interest of crushing on a guy and what's attractive and not in them.

Of course this is just my opinion and you knowthe situation better than anyone, so in the long run, it will be up to you what direction to go, but do put some long hard thought into it before deciding.

Hugs, Mel
