Hello, i'm Melanie. My bestfriend's name is Lily. Ok so she had a boyfriend named Jake. Well, I've liked Jake for a long long time.. Now I think I love him. I'm serious, here. I can't ever get him out of my mind, i've written SO many songs about him, I listen to songs about him, ect. Well, Lily still likes him. At least I think she does. Anyways, I think Jake And Lily will get back together!! If they do, i'll cry so much.. What do I do? I feel so bad for loving him when she likes him. What do I do?!

Your 12, there will be more opportunities and you cannot love someone of the opposite gender when you are that age. If you like Jake then you will need to tell Lily that you do. She will understand.

She obviously doesn't want to give him up and neither do you... soo.... either throw your friendship away and TRY to date this guy which is iffy at this point. Have you thought about if he likes you or not? [ Ginguhh's advice column | Ask Ginguhh A Question ]
solidadvice4teens answered Saturday October 27 2012, 12:06 am: You need to talk with your friend about him. Tell her that your friendship has and will always come first when it comes to guys because they come and go but you both won't.
Tell her you have always had feelings for this guy but put them aside for her for the good of the friendship. Find out if they are completely "done" or if she's looking to get him back. Maybe if she has no desire to be with him she might even give you her blessing to proceed.
If she still likes him as much as it hurts you have to respect the relationship they have and back off and let your friendship remain in tact. If they break it off again.. well then you can move in on him. It's hard but over time it gets better and putting her ahead of a guy is the right move.
