my crush likes my friend


Question Posted Monday January 20 2014, 10:09 pm

So I have known this guy since we were thirteen. He's 22 and I'm 21 now. We've always had a thing for each other but we were never vocal about it. We spent new years together and ended up having a moment. He tried to kiss me, and as much as I wanted to I couldn't agree because he had a long distance girlfriend. A week later he was talking to my best friend explaining to her how much he liked me and how he wasn't sure if I liked him back and how he had broken up with his long distance girlfriend. So anyway. This past weekend we got together with a ton of friends and decided to go bowling. It was horrible because He and one of my other friends that he had never met before kept starring at each other and giving each other the "eyes". I felt like he was attracted to her and one of my other friends noticed it too. Later on that night when I got home he texted to see if I had made it home okay but I had forgotten to pay for my phone so I couldn't really do much. so later on in the day we ended up talking on the phone and I was teasing him about how he liked her in a playful way and he admitted it. He admitted that he liked her but he felt that there wasn't a chance with her and blah blah blah...I was acting as the supportive friend who wanted to help him out since she was my friend when deep down all I wanted to say was.....I thought you liked me? I've always known that he was a player and stuff but I never pictured him acting this way with one of my friends. And I never expected that it would hurt this much. He doesn't know because I keep acting like I support him and her and that I will help him get her attention...a part of me wants to confront him about everything, but then again I don't want it to seem like he hurt me and that I'm so butt hurt about the situation. I just don't know if I can handle seeing him and my friend together. And she's evil too because she had an idea that I might like him and she was being flirty. Idk what to do.
Please Help!

So he's probably still interested in you, at least it still sounds like it by texting to see if you made it home okay and then talking on the phone.

He's made it clear that he liked you by trying to kiss you and he was never sure if you liked him.
Why would he wait around? He's right to try to move on from you and now that you're supporting him dating someone else, he's probably thinking that you're not interested in dating him.

But one thing you mentioned that he is a player. You don't want to get involved with guys like that anyways. I mean he tried to kiss you while he was in a relationship, he could very well do it again while he's with you.

So your choices are either step up and tell him how you feel or let it go and move on.

He likes her. That doesn't mean he doesn't like you. People often like more than one person, so don't think of this as a rejection or that she's replacing what you wanted to be. Since you didn't kiss him, he probably thinks you aren't interested. If you told him how you felt, things may be different.

At the same time, you know he's a player. You two aren't in a relationship and you're already hurt because of his interest in someone else. In addition to this, you know that he tried to make a move on someone just recently while in a relationship when he tried to kiss you. Think about how much you hurt right now and ask yourself if there's a good chance pursuing this person will lead to feeling like this more later on. I think there is.
