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?

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.

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.
