I really like thise guy, Michael, who ive been best friends w/ for 10 years. Im afraid he likes my best friend, Erin. He says he doesnt, but whenever he like talks to her, or comments on her myspace, i get crazy and jealous. I know i shoodnt. I really cant tell anyone, just for reasons ... telling some1 is not an option. How can i like calm myself down? He will never like me back ... can i get over him?

I'm living proof that you *can* fall in love with your best friend-- so don't think that! I thought the same thing with my guy, but I was completely wrong. Don't just assume that because you're friends, he'll never like you "that way".
Take his word for it if he says he likes Erin. Considering that you're his best friend, you probably talk about crushes all the time, so why would he lie about it? You could be his ticket to getting to know Erin better, so I don't think he'd lie to you.
I really think you should tell him, even if it's just in a joking way so you can gauge his reaction. If it seems like he thinks the idea is crazy, then you'll know it's time to get over it. If you just sit there & insist that it's impossible for him to have feelings for you, you're not doing yourself any good. [ kailey's advice column | Ask kailey A Question ]
