May I ask you a question?
jabberwacky: I think I like my best guy friend but I don't know how to tell him?
user: Are you okay with being just friends with him?
jabberwacky: Yes.
user: Then talk to him about it. If he doesn't return the feelings, tell him you are okay with being friends.
jabberwacky: I am a boy.
user: That doesn't change my answer.
jabberwacky: No, it doesn't.
user: It might make it more awkward, though.
jabberwacky: How so?
user: Well, he might not accept it.
jabberwacky: Wow. Do you really think that?
user: I hope it will not be a problem, but it is a possibility.
jabberwacky: That doesn't make sense.
user: Hoping and thinking are different.
jabberwacky: I hope they are too.
