Dear Panel,

I'm only 16, but I believe that I'm falling in love with my best friend.

He's the sweetest most personable person I've ever met and I have more fun with him than anyone else. Whenever we're close to each other there's definitely something there.

The problem with it is that he thinks he's gay. I want to tell him my feelings so badly because I think we'd have a wonderful relationship and would never break our friendship, I've gone out with friends before but none as close as he.

He's very confused about his sexuality and "doesn't know whether he's gay or not" yet, but he's thinking hard about it.

Should I tell him, or just let it go?
