Question Posted Thursday September 1 2005, 3:17 pm
i really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLLLLLLY like this boy whos my age but a year younger grade wise. but one of my best friends (a year younger than me so going into his grade) who goes to my school is going out with him! we both met him at the same exact time and stuff. but he doesnt go to our school. any way she know that i like him! like i told her i did and then she was like ME TOO. and that was before they got together. i like him so much but so does she. its soo hard. but im happy for her. i dont want to get over him but i dont want to be soo obsessive. i kno this is SUCH a common question and stuff but like you know. have u ever been in this situation? what did you do?
Additional info, added Friday September 2 2005, 11:56 am: she knows i like him!!! she has all along! she knows how i feel!. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships? iiLOVEyoux0o answered Friday September 2 2005, 11:33 am: Dear Asker, This happens ALL the time. Just put yourself in her shoes. Both of you really like him, if you were going out with him, would you want to break up with him because your friend likes him too? Well, I`m not sure about you, but I wouldn`t.
Just try sitting down with your friend, and explaining how you feel about it. Ask your friend how she would feel about you going out with him in the future. She might not know. I can`t tell you she`ll break up with him. But it would help that she knows how you feel. I would say, look out for other guys, because there could be one you will like more then him someday. Hope I helped. xOxO-->Alexxa [♥] [ iiLOVEyoux0o's advice column | Ask iiLOVEyoux0o A Question ]

Best thing to do is keep being happy, you'll have to let her know you still like him, it wouldn't be good to coop up your feelings to your good friend. Just don't flirt with him or try and steal his attention away from her. It wouldn't be a good thing to do as a friend. You ought to just stay good friends with him, and teen relationships are usually really short-lived. It might only feel like they're going to last forever just because your waiting for him. Don't give him up, just hang in there if you really like him. You can't get completely mad at her either, because he had a say in their relationship is well, so it's not all her 'fault', so to speak. Just hang in there and wait your turn. I wish I had some sort of magical answer of getting you guys together quick, but the truth is somebody would have to get really hurt in the process of that, and you wouldn't want it to be you or your friend!

xothatwasrichox answered Thursday September 1 2005, 4:23 pm: Yeah, I have been in this situation before. Actually, i'm in this situation now. Tere's not really anything that you can do except wait it out or tell you friend how you feel. I told my friend (lets call her jill) that she could go out with the guy i like (jack) and i would be okay with it. Well, friendship is way more important than some guy. Well Jack and Jill have been ging out for a couple days now, and as it is, i don't think they're going to hold out much longer. The BEST advice i can give is to just wait it out. They'll break up and then... Well, you can do what you want. [ xothatwasrichox's advice column | Ask xothatwasrichox A Question ]
