Okay, it's simple. I have liked this guy for a year and a half and considering he likes my best friend, its pretty clear he is never going to like me (we're also going to different high schools). For a while he knew I liked him, but I finally gave up and made him, along with everyone else, think I didn't like him anymore. We are best friends now but I still have really strong feelings for him, although I keep them well hidden. What am I supposed to do? I don't want to say I love him, although I've never felt like this about anyone and I've liked plenty of guys. I just need good, clear advice to help me through this.
Additional info, added Tuesday August 1 2006, 11:24 am: P.S. If my best friend found out I liked him, our friendship would be completely ruined. :[.

GroovyChick answered Tuesday August 1 2006, 4:55 pm: ok, I think you shouldn't tell him straight away that you love him , it could be too fast , try general questions to find out if he likes you , then if he does then try to show your feelings slowly, if not then i think it would be better off inside so you don't lose the friendship between you and your friend.

I went through the same thing, & then I realized that this guy, that was tottaly sweet, & nice liked me.. & I never even knew it, because I was just concerned with the one guy. Slowly get over him. All the other hot guys you know, start talking to them. Who knows, i'm sure one likes you & you could end up liking them. You can't really wake up one moring, & not like someone anymore. It tooks me alonggg time. Like 6 months =/ But, now that kid likes me.. but I don't like him anymore, I've moved on. & in time you will too. I can't really give you much other advice, because its how you feel for someone. & you have to decide when your really ready to let go of someone..

DO you really want to lose your friendship?
In this case, maybe the best thing to do is try and find another guy just to have a "crush" on and maybe it will get your mind off your best friend. Chances are you will probably always have feelings for your best friend and maybe later on you can tell him. But for now, I wouldn't ruin the amazing friendship you have.
Hope I Helped
