He likes someone else


Question Posted Thursday May 10 2007, 4:03 pm

Okay. For about a year and a half now, there's this guy I've had a HUGE crush on--I've never liked someone THIS MUCH. Anyway, I was talking to him on the phone and he ends up saying he met a girl at a track meet. Now he doesn't know I like him, we're friends. I faked a "That's great! Who is she?" as I punched the pillow on my bed. I was a little worried, but then he said he really liked her and was going to ask her out. And then what next? I practically died. I'm still happy for him though, because I want him to be happy, even if I'm not the one he likes. But it's been killing me. I don't want to tell him I like him--I don't think that would go very well. What should I do?

There are two things you can do here:

Option A: You get over it. He doesn't like you, and you can't do anything to change that. If he doesn't like you, then he doesn't like you. There's lots of guys out there & he's not the only one out there.

Option B: Tell him how you feel. If you told him how you felt about him, things may change for the good or for the worse. You won't know until you tell him though. If he doesn't happen to like you, then option A can still go into effect.

Good luck.

hey i know what you mean it really stinks when this kind of thing happens. the best thing for you to do is to be patient in the meantime. if he does ask her out and she says yes then you will have to wait for them to break up or forget about him but seeing as you like him soo much that might be hard to do rite now. if she says no then maybe he'll bring it up and seem kind of sad about it on the phone or something. thats ur perfect opportunity to tell him how you feel. say oh im sorry but i know someone who likes you! and hes gonna ask who and then you can either say its you or make him guess by giving him clues. take the risk if he says he only sees you as a friend then say ok its no big deal and just leave it at that-[you can cry once he hangs up on the phone if you need to]. if hes your true friend he wont care if you like him he will still treat you the same as always. my friend who ive liked twice[and still do] told me both times that he doesnt like me like that but it never messed up our friendship. and i just told him yesterday and today it wasnt awkward at all. seriously take the risk and you will most likely get what you want! and if you dont it'll be fine and you can talk to me more about this if you need anything at all. hope all goes well. good luck.

hey

oh sweetie, i'm so sorry! that's a really tough situation to be in, but there are ways of handling it.

if i were you in your shoes, i would just wait it out & let time do it's thing. you didn't specify how old you are & that's okay, but it might affect my answer a little. if you are 13 / 14, they will most-likely break up (if he does ask her out) in like, a couple weeks. honest. if you are 15, 16, 17, they might be together for a little longer & have a more intricate relationship, but if you like him so much, it shouldn't matter. after they break up, you will feel a lot better.

my other suggestion is to simply tell him how you feel. he could possibly like you on the side, or perhaps he's trying to make you JEALOUS! so maybe you can consider just telling him how you feel & you guys can be happy :]

it sounds like you really, really like him. you are very mature for saying that you are still happy for him because he is happy despite the fact that he (possibly) doesn't like you.

anyway, don't worry too much. & you never know if you will stop liking him when they start going out and meet a better guy. so, perhaps it would be a better idea to just not tell him how you feel right now in case he doesn't feel the same way.

time solves most things :]
