One of my best boy mates (lets call him P) really, really fancies me. I don't feel the same way about him, but I know that he's liked me the whole three years I've known him.
I'm in love with G, who unfortunately, happens to be P's best mate. G is the most amazing person I've ever met and he's what I look forward to first thing in the morning. He means more to me than anyone and if anyone ever tries to hurt him, I will never forgive them.
P, who is bisexual, also slightly fancies G, but G doesn't know this, and P fancies me a lot more.
G, however, has a girlfriend (lets call her L). On their myspace profiles, they both say they're in love with each other, but no matter how in love they are, I can still feel that me and G have a connection.
Before G started dating L, I thought he fancied me, and he says I'm hot, and everyone else has quite recently said he thinks I'm hot.
G and L's relationship is long distance, so is very hard for them and might not last that long.
The other day, me, G and P were all at a party. Me and G were in a room alone, sitting next to each other, when he poked my leg. I poked his leg, he looked shocked for a moment and then looked into my eyes. I gave him a flirty look. Then we just sat there looking at each other and he smiled. Then suddenly P walked in and G quickly walked away.
I really feel something there between me and G. I'm worried that if he and L did split up, and G did like me, he still wouldn't go out with me because P's one of his best friends and he knows how much P likes me.
What should I do?
I know G and L might not split up and G might not even like me, but I'm saying if that did happen, and what should I do right now?

And keep flirting I mean who knows whats going to happen but no matter what its for the better. Just keep an open eye for signs that hes intrested and signs that P isnt. Maybe you can even attempt to get close to L and mess with that a little. I am NOTT telling you to be a mean girl, jsut how to get what you want. ;) hopee I helped GOOOD LUCKK [ Diane_Delilah's advice column | Ask Diane_Delilah A Question ]

Now you need to focus on life, not on G. By life I mean that whole self development thing... what do you like to do? Do you have any goals and how can you achieve them? And all that other fun stuff. Or do whatever you want that will distract you from someone who is taken. Don't feel like you should like P just because he likes you.
If G and L did split up, as a friend it would be your job to console G if he needs consoling. Read, consoling. If you still liked him you would casually approach the situation from that angle a bit later, when G got over L.
But yes. Don't obsess over this. Even if G likes you currently, there's not much you can do that will actually work for either of you. Hang tight and focus on other things. [ junebug93's advice column | Ask junebug93 A Question ]
