Me and my friend Jay have been very close friends since the 8th grade. We are Juniors in highschool now, and in the beginning of last year he became very attractive. I developed a crush on him, and recently it's become really intense. We've expressed some intress in one another, he used to like me at one point this year, and vice versa, but neither of us told eachother. (i found out from my friend). I've been itching to tell him how i feel, because we hang out almost every day and i just feel it necessary. But last week he told me, unexpectedly that he likes my best friend, lindsay. They never hang out, and if they ever do, it's with me. She already has two guys that she's with and it would bad of me to say this, but she really is in some way a slut. I don't know what to do. I've built up all of these emotions for Jay, and now i really cannot tell him about it. When he told me about his crush on Linds, i acted a bit weirded out and he caught on a bit. Since then we havent hung out or talked. What should i do?
BuffaloGirl answered Sunday July 10 2005, 2:07 am: well if you truely feel that then you should just come out and say how you feel & maybe he will focus his attention on you for a while & just dont worry about your friend because if he feels the same way about you ( which he probably does )he wont worry since it sounds like she has her men i hope every thing turns out peachy for yew ;)
good luck x3
orphans answered Friday July 8 2005, 3:13 pm: Jay seems like a good guy. He liked you in one point of the year, so now all you have to do, is convince him that lindsey already has 2 guys liking her, which is true, and that you like him, and how much you mean to him, since you have developd a crush for Jay.
karenR answered Friday July 8 2005, 1:37 am: I think you need to tell him. If Lindsey has a couple of guys already she probably won't be very interested in Jay anyway. Tell him, and if he doesn't feel the same at least you'll be able to move on from it. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

i think that you should tell your best friend your feelings for Jay. her reaction to it will tell you if she's a true friend or not and she can also help you out with it. but with the whole her being a kinda slut issue i don't exactly think you should bring up those feelings to her. lol. (p.s.) if you become closer to Jay and act like yourself around him he'll probaly like you too and when you feel the time is right, you can tell him how you feel about him.
yourWordsareDEADLYweapons answered Thursday July 7 2005, 11:26 pm: if i were you i would tell Jay that you have fellings for him and tell him that ur best friend gets around ..that might turn him off a bit..but i think the worst thing u can do is hold your feelings in!
WhoKnows answered Thursday July 7 2005, 11:05 pm: i think your best bet is to just tell him. he may like you both, and if he knows you like him back, he might move on from your friend lindsay, expecially since they dont hang out as much as you two do, he may figure youd be better together. but if you dont tell him youll never know if he still likes you too.

Razhie answered Thursday July 7 2005, 11:02 pm: Keep hanging out with him and talking to him. Ignore the crush on your friend if you can. He clearly doesn't really know the girl yet, and badmouthing her to him wont help you any.
I think it's time you come clean about the way you feel and that you've been feeling that way for a long time. Don't try to enter into a competition with your friend over this guy, cause that will only hurt everyone. But at least let this guy have all the information about your feelings before doing anything.
