Dear Friends Or More?,
You're friends with a boy who's nice to you? Great! None of this is a problem. Maybe he has feelings for you, or maybe you'll suddenly find yourself with feelings for him.

After all, your evolving relationship isn't a spectator sport, and the only feelings that matter are yours.
