Yet another love question... (sorry about the length)
I'm 18, and have never had a boyfriend. For the past four months, I have liked this guy, and he has shown strong signs of liking me, too. He stares intently at me all the time, he searches for me at parties... He's even practically admitted to liking me to a friend of mine. I've tried letting him know as much as I can that I'm interested, too.
However, I just found out last night that in the last month, he started dating another girl. But he seems to be trying to keep the relationship a secret, especially from me. The girl will try to hold his hand in public, and he'll draw it away while looking nervously at me.
This girl had only recently broken up with another guy, a friend of his no less. I'm pretty sure she knows how I feel about him, and knows he was at least watching me. I get the feeling it was her who asked him out, but I still don't know why he said yes. And she seems to have changed him, for the worse.
His best friend, though, has shown evidense of caring about me (not in that way), and not really liking this other girl very much. I invited them both to my birthday party recently, and only the friend showed up, and I later found out that he kind of rubbed it in to the guy.
I guess what I'm asking is, what's going on? I want answers, I want revenge, but I also just want to completely rid myself of the whole situation and it's emotional baggage. What would be the best thing to do?

Don't let it eat at you, as they say there are plenty of fish in the sea and it's very true. This should be a lesson to you though: people go out with people who ask them out. I'd say 80% of the time, almost everyone gutsy enough to ask out a guy or girl at least gets a chance to prove themselves and the invitation is accepted. You should have asked him out or at least been more clear about how you felt. You can't expect a guy to read your mind and turn down everyone else because he *thinks* you might like him, and you can't expect a girl to put aside her feelings for that guy, either. I'm not sure who you want revenge on but I don't think you have the right to inflict it. Get over this guy and in the future tell people how you feel, that's my advice.
