SO theres this great guy who i really like (14/f). Hes amazing and I've liked him forever but my friend has this thing for him and he kinda had a thing for her and they went out for a while. He made out with her and she was his first. Well i really like him and i think i might have a chance. Now heres the difficult part. Theres this great guy who i think of as an amazing friend that i never want to lose as a friend. He comforts me when im scared (hes a big guy and beats up any kid that is mean to me) and i love him. LIKE A BROTHER. nothing more. So he likes me, and i found this out from people. Now i cant even talk to him! I'm too afraid and i don't want him to like me but i don't want to hurt him! So should i tell him i know? or just let him get over me? OR WHAT?! ah i want to try to move on with guy one but guy two is too important and i don't want guy 1 to get over me. what should i do? thanks for reading

i wouldn't worry about it.
maybe it isn't true, or maybe he just wants to save the friendship to.
and its not your fault you only see him as a brother,
so i would go after the one you actually like.
guy 2 shouldn't get mad because for all he knows, you have no idea that he likes you.
if he ends up saying something to you about it,
explain that you only see him as a friend and that you love him like a brother.
if he truly cares for you, which i'm sure he does,
he'll be okay with it and will eventually get over you.
pseudophun answered Wednesday April 9 2008, 11:04 pm: Well, that sucks, first. Second, what I would do is think about this long and hard and the consequences. Guy 1 is "claimed" by your friend. That's a hard thing. You have to think about how that would affect both relationships. Guy 2 sounds like he really cares about you.
If I were you, which I'm not, I'd leave 1 alone and try 2. I've had wonderful luck there and none have ended in tears and lost friends. If you really don't think it would work between you and 2, or you really don't want to try, ask your friend if it'd be okay to go after 1 and let the horrendous confusion go from there.

sin_c_chic answered Wednesday April 9 2008, 10:05 pm: Oh dear..you are between a rock and a hard place huh?! Ok lets start with guy 2 (the friend). If he is truly your friend and you don't want to hurt him, you need to be honest with him. If he hasn't acted towards you like he wants to be more than friends, then I don't think that there is need to bring it up. However...you need to stop trying to avoid him. Is this a guy that you can talk to about anything normally? Maybe mention that you kind of like a guy (then atleast you can scope his reaction). If nothing else, ask him for a 'guys point of view' on how to approach a guy. This way he can 1)take the hint that you like someone else and 2)you are allowing him to be a part of this relationship proving to him that nothing will change with yours and his friendship.
I wish you the best of luck girl! If he is truly your friend than he will want you to be happy!
