Theres this boy, Jake, who is one of my best friends, ever. I love him, but he doesn't like me. I'm almost positive that he likes my best friend Jenna, who likes him. It hurts, but I love him and I just want him to be happy, even if its without me. But i'm afraid that she's going to hurt him. his ex girlfriend hurt him really badly last year, and im afraid that it Will happen again. I really, really want him to be happy, but i'm afraid that jennas feelings for him arent really that deep, or that its just a little thing that she'll get over. I really dont want to see him get hurt.
chuckweed007 answered Saturday March 24 2007, 3:37 pm: I would go up and talk to him too, tell him you dont want to see him get hurt, and you just want him to be happy. If unfortunately he endes up going out with Jenna, try to remain friends with him. If he does end up getting hurt, make sure you are there for him. He will remember that in the future and you should eventually get what you want. Your question sort of sounds like the timing isn't perfect for you and Jake, so just wait until the timing is right for you two! If Jennas feelings really aren't that deep, I would guess that it is (or will be) a quick little fling. [ chuckweed007's advice column | Ask chuckweed007 A Question ]

I know it probly hurts you to see her and him together but that's just how life is.They can't help the feelings they have for each other. Maybe after all being you and him being best friends will work out best for both of you.♥ [ xOViLLYxO's advice column | Ask xOViLLYxO A Question ]

I know you dont want him to get hurt, so it sucks that you have to deal with this, but it is his life you you have to let him live it. Yeah that may mean that it will hurt him and your friend may hurt him and all that stuff that you dont want to happen, but dating is about learning, and he has to learn that sometimes girls hurt guys and he has already made the mistake, so he has to make it again. If she hurts him swoop in and try and be his confident. But you never know, if you think positively then you never know, they may fall in love. You see going into a relation being skeptical of what will come out of it is a stupid thing to do, and whether or not you are the actual one going into the relationship or not you have to think positively, other wise you will just be a downer. You see probably 99% of relationships end right? Unless you get married and die together, your relationship will end, whether or not it will end badly or not is up to the way they end it. And thats what he has to learn. So you can be happy for them (which you want to do I can tell) or you can try and stop it, and prevent them from that little bit of happyness they may get from each other.
If you're over protective of the bird it will never learn how to fly eh?
WEll thats that part of it. The other is moving on. You could chose to swopp in quickly and try and get him before her, but that would hurt her wouldnt it? So you have to decide whether you're going to take it or leave it. Who deserves him more? Once you choose, you can follow that path. But as far as moving on, well you can do about a zillion different things, and I know about all of them, so if you want some help let me know you didnt really ask for any, so I wont give them to you, but if you wnt some just let me know, I'm the moving on tips queen. :P.
Jakes your friend and you love him, as a friend and more, be that buddy that he needs and when he needs more, be that too. Okay? I really hope I helpped, if you need anything, I'm here. Love ya lots,
