My guy best friend (also my crush) just told me that he likes my girl best friend. I'm literally broken, what should I do?

[Anonymous]

Give up on him

Try and continue to be his friend

Stop contacting him

Consider this as a small rehearsal for the future heartbreaks. There will quite a few, the ones so intense that you’ll look back and laugh at your today’s worry.

But it’s tour pain today, it hurts you a lot and It’s hard to deal with.

Raise your chin up, and value people who like you for who you are.

People who like you are unique, because you are unique as well.

People who prefer others over you are not your type of unique. They are not good enough for you.

In future we will all face our biggest fears, everything we were scared of, will at some point happen to us…

Enjoy your present, and don’t let a little immature boy ruin your sweet beautiful days. Those days must be filled with happiness, confidence and love, so when you look back and need some fuel to keep going in future when life strikes you much much harder, you’ll have all these beautiful memories to ground you and make you confident that you overcome anything.

So… Give up on him and start loving yourself.

You are beautiful,

you deserve to be the first choice and if you aren’t, that’s not a man who deserves even one more second of your life. Nope. Don’t even think of staying friends with him.

You’ll lose his respect and romantic interest if you keep being around even when he offers literally nothing and instead of reciprocating your feelings, likes your girlfriend.

Have fun and don’t let boys ruin your days.

If you plan to cut off your relationship with him, at least tell him why so he's not left in the dark wondering what he did wrong. If you want to try and continue a relationship, commit yourself to moving on from him (work on seeing his faults more clearly, find reasons you're incompatible, etc) and actively open your mind and heart to pursue someone else. You technically and rebound off a crush, but it's better if you try to find a legitimate connection. Just try not to compare the new guy to your friend.

If you really think you can maintain a friendship, then make a list of all the reasons you value him as a friend rather than as a potential romantic interest (I'm aware many are the same) and focus on what your friendship itself brings to your life. But if you aren't confident you can maintain the relationship, it's ok to walk away. Staying may hurt everyone involved and if it's real, you can always try to rekindle your friendship one day as long as you left on clear terms.

You should learn three lessons from this:

1. Regardless of how YOU feel, you cannot control or necessarily change how another person feels.

2. You should NOT allow yourself to invest too much emotionally until you know those feelings are being reciprocated - otherwise you are valuable to emotional pain and it's your own fault.

3. If you have feelings for someone, let them know right away, because life won't wait around for you - you have to strike while you can.

These are difficult lessons for a lot of people to accept, but it's part of being an adult in the real world. Life isn't a fairy tale or a RomCom - it can be cruel and unfair, and you have to work and sacrifice to have any chance at getting what you want.

VULNERABLE to emotional pain. Damn autocorrect...

As for love it works in mysterious ways & love is such a wonderful thing. As for the heart the heart wants what the heart wants & unfortunately the heart can’t always have what it wants & I’m sorry to say some hearts do get broken.

As for you a crush on your guy best friend you have & your crush has a crush on your girl best friend so at this point maybe it’s time let faith takes its course.

In life if you never try you will never know & in life if you like someone don’t be afraid to let them know.

Have a heart to heart with your guy best friend & tell him how you really feel.

This dude would leave her if she did that. Things would get weird

[Guido]

He told you he limes your best friend but has he told her or asked her out. If not, then tell him how you feel. Maybe he also likes you but thinks you only want to be friends. Never hurts to take a chance. If he already asked your friend out then wait to see how it plays out.

[SnowedIn]

So, this is one of those times when you have AMAZING advice.

Exactly what @MrOracle and @Alli39 said.

[serious]

It seems like you are in a one-sided love with your best guy friend. I just hope you are okay.

[ShesRad80]

as hard as it is stand back and let it play out or just tell him you have a crush on him.

[Staximus]

Did he know you like him as more than a friend? Guys aren't psychic you know. We are pretty clueless to things that aren't obvious, especially when we are young and dumb.

[Pacquet]

Ask him “what if I had a crush on you though?” but ask without expectation or if it’s easier just expect the worst.

[justabuddy]

I've been here. Their is no easy answer, but the one I would say is he is using you to get to her and more than likely will continue to do so. I would recommend moving on.

[Anonymous]

Just turn off your emotions. And if you can't do that cut him off

[BigDog1989]

Now you know how it feels. This is why you SHOULD NOT CRUSH ON FRIENDS

[Wise4myage]

Tell him how you feel, so at least he knows.

[Cheerfull009]

You kick on his ass and get new boyfriend, forget that cheater

[rienna888]

Nah you can’t get out of that, ditch his as

[jimmy2]

It not for you
