Before I ask, I am going to provide a bit of background information. So there's this guy, I have loved him for almost over a year now, but we have not dated nor talked about it. Let's say I admire him passionately from afar, but we are very close friends. Just last Saturday, I went to his birthday party, and I really believed he was starting to understand that I liked him and maybe even like me back in the same way. The next day I walked into school and found out from one of my friends that he started to go out with this girl on Sunday whom he had known for less than a month as she was new to our school.
Needless to say, I felt horrible and was depressed for the rest of the day. I still am depressed, and he doesn't even know why. I really love him, and I want him to be happy, but I just don't know what to do. I can barely stand to be around him anymore, but I don't want to ruin our friendship either. Does anyone know what I should do?

i hope i helped with my life example...
good luck with everything ;) [ danny133's advice column | Ask danny133 A Question ]
staceyxlove answered Friday October 3 2008, 2:54 pm: It's clear to say that if you had of told him this to begin with then you wouldn't be feeling this way, but there is no point dwelling on that as it will only make you feel worse than you already do!! I can understand that you are feeling upset, and trust me, this has probably happened to every girl out there!! I know exactly how you feel, you really like him and you want him to be happy - but with you. You just need to try and take your mind off it for now, i'm not saying you should forget about him bcos that wont happen cos you love him, but he may not last long with this new girl, and once he has finished with her, you should be open and tell him how you feel.

sometimes when you don't step up to the plate and say what you feel, someone out the blue comes and grabs what you want. YOu probably should have found a way to tell him how you felt. You can't ever assume that a boy knows what you want. You have to tell him. That happens sometimes. I would't suggest you telling him anything about it right now since he is with someone.
It really doesn't matter how long he has known her. He was attracted to her and asked her out.
You kind of lost out this time, but that doesn't mean you can never be with him. Continue to be his friend and see what happens.
Perk up. Most likely his new relationship won't last and you'll have your chance again. Don't miss out.
I hope I helped.
Good luck,
