Love help: ive liked a guy for over a year and a half(march of 6th grade - Help.com

if you like him that much you should ask hiom out dont be shy you might be missing a great oppertunity but you do have the right to be mad

Ive been in a very similar situation with my best guy friend who I had a major crush on! I told my male friend (by the way, I’m a girl in case you weren’t sure!) how I felt and he said he just wasn’t looking for a relationship. He didn’t want to hurt me by giving me false hope– he promised he didn’t want to be with anyone, not that he didn’t want to be with me. I was crushed but maintained the friendship. now, several years later, we are together, and I appreciate his kindness in not taking advantage of my feelings or stringing me along when he just wasn’t ready. If the two of you are right for eachother, time will bring you together. As for your best friend she is young and naive–she likely doesn’t realize that best friends come before boyfriends. Don’t resent her for this, even though it must hurt a lot. I have also traded a friend for a boyfriend and deeply regret it. Be a better friend than she is and try to let the anger go. She will later wonder what on earth she was thinking. You are clearly the more mature friend and can choose to handle the situation with grace and class. Oh, and look for a new crush– I’ll bet that there is someone you know who has feelings for you that you wouldn’t have expected. Give other boys and friends a chance to know you!
