I think I am truly in love with this guy at my school.

The problem is one of my friends likes him a lot too. I don’t really think she likes him as much as I do but I know she will be hurt if anything happened between me and this guy. She always talks about her convos with this guy and sometimes it hurts. I guess I don’t know I hate the thought that he may like her more. I have tried to get over him but I just can’t get him out of my head. I don’t think I want to get over him but I think I have to. Should I just back off or go against my friend for him because I know she will choose him over me?

Let the guy choose…he’ll choose whatever the one he likes most…I think it’s fair this way…

And have you told your friend that you like him too?

PS: if she doesn’t end up hurt, then you’ll…

Yeah, I have told her how much I like him but she really doesn’t take it into consideration. It hurts that she doesn’t even think about what is gonna happen to me when that is all I can think about, hurting her.

Youi should tell her how you feel and the both of you should agree to move on to someone new. Your so worried about hurting her but what about you? If it goes on like this you will end up resenting her and then before you know it you’ve lost a friend. Take my advice if ses really your friend she will agree to move on and so should you.

Ok, don’t seek revenge if the guy likes her…this kind of situations often destroy friendships…
What do you know about the guy?
Do you know who he likes?

Maybe you should come to an agreement that neither of you should have this guy because if either one of you gets this guy it’s going to hurt your friendship. Both agree to stay away and maybe talk to him too and say that as much as you both like him, you are out of bounds.

I don’t know just how much he likes me but we are pretty good friends for the time being. I pretty much no everything about him except who he likes more which is most crucial.

Make a joke about him telling you and hope he does.

This can only end badly if he chooses one of you two. So don’t let him have either of you. Unless both you and your friend can deal with him choosing one instead of the other, I suggest you move on from him. No man that I’ve come across in my younger years was ever worth the pain and guilt and the loss of a friend.
More will come along.

I just don’t know how to forget about him.

:) I wish there were a magic potion to make that happen.
Or if Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind were based on a true story, we’d be all set!

But instead, we only have our human emotions to help us get over someone.
Think, there are plenty of other guys out there…and certainly many that wouldn’t have to choose between you and someone else because they already know they want YOU and only YOU.
He’s out there, I promise.
Until then, talk to your friend. If it’s the same girl as the last post, she doesn’t seem like much of a friend now, but let her know your side and how you feel.
There’s more to life than this single guy, I promise this, too.
Find what else is out there for you. Not just for a relationship but other things that make you happy and make you feel good.

YEah I totally agree with you. And no it isn’t the girl from the last post. Thanks for remembering though.
