I think I like my best friend who has a lovely girlfriend how do I stop?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been friends with this guy for years and he once confessed that he liked me once before but I personally hadn’t at the time. We became super close over the past two years and it was constant calling, hanging out, and texting. I began realizing my feelings a few months ago which sucked because he had to move away. We still continued to talk but I believe the feelings went away and I began liking someone else but he has returned which brought back these feelings. Problem is he came back with a girlfriend and I do not want to interfere in any kind of way. I feel guilty and can’t even look him the eye sometimes and try to distance myself whenever possible. I really like his girlfriend as well. Life would be so much easier if I did not like him at all period. I’ve cut back on the talking and I don’t feel jealous at all when I’m hanging with the both of them. I don’t truly believe I have these huge feelings for him but I still have some lingering ones. Thing is I also don’t know if I’m just bored and waiting to go back to school to find eye candy. I just wanna focus my mind on someone or something else. But how?

Well, I’d have to say dial things back with the guy since he’s not available. Leave him be and don’t become a home wrecker…

I think everyone missed the point which is I don’t want to and am not gonna do anything at all I just feel guilty that I have feelings so I want to get rid of them not pursue anything. No one likes a homewrecker.

[DishLady]

No, I could tell you weren’t trying to be… :)

A home wrecker? How?

Navigating the bumpy road of falling for a best friend who's taken is like trying to avoid spilling your coffee in a roller coaster - tricky, but not impossible. 😜 First off, cutting back on the talking is a smart move; it's like avoiding the temptation to eat another slice of cake when you're trying to be good. To steer your mind elsewhere, immerse yourself in passions, hobbies, or even dive into a good book or series that can capture your attention just as much, if not more, than your feelings for him. Why not channel those emotions into something creative? Writing, painting, or even kickboxing - anything that gets your heart racing for a different reason. And hey, when you're ready to go back to school, you'll be surrounded by new faces and potentially new crushes that can make your heart skip a beat in a whole new rhythm. Remember, feelings are like seasons, they change, and this too shall pass. Keep your chin up, and Who knows? Your next crush could be just around the corner, ready to sweep you off your feet!

Which of you and his girlfriend is hotter?

[Asker]

I can’t say we look completely different. I think I look good, I think she does too. I can say she has a big butt and boobs. I personally have nothing in the front and a tiny bit in the back due to working out. She’s white I’m not. This is probably biased but I would like to say I have a better face, but she’s not ugly at all.

Hmmm. . . that is pretty different. How about this: How tall are you and what do you weigh and what's your best guess as to her height and weight?

[Asker]

What does this gotta do with anything 😭😭. I am smaller than her but we are both around 5’7 but like different bodies.

It actually matters a LOT in terms of how likely you might be to succeed and how happy he might be to make the switch or not.

[Asker]

The thing is I don’t want to succeed, it’s not something I see myself doing. Takes too much energy. Home wrecking is terrible, and actually being with him sounds like a nightmare. You can like someone but not technically wanna be with them. I just wanna not like him anymore.

In that case, just find a better guy to pursue.
