Never commit to a new person before resolving past commitments. Doing so will be unfair to the new partner and will only leave you frustrated.

If you're in love with your friend, confront your friend with that fact. We tend to hold onto fantasies when we choose to just live them in our head rather than checking them out. Let him know you have deeper feelings for him than you would for a friend, and your body responds in arousal when there is any physical contact between the two of you. Tell him your friendship with him is what is most important to you, but these feelings will probably continue until you know exactly how he feels about you. Let him know you won't act on your feelings, if he doesn't share those feelings, or do anything to complicate his life, no matter how he feels. Say, "You'll always be special, appreciated and an important part of my life, no matter what does or doesn't develop between the two of us."

Yes. You are dishonest to yourself in the first place. You need to act on your feelings

Only if your lying to the guy around and not being truthful with him.
