Love help: I’m in love with my best friend.

peter_panda_6

I’m in love with my best friend.

We met in Middle School, and have been pretty inseparable since.
But we’re going to different high schools. We promised to stay in touch, and even though I’m kind of worried about that, I’m not really thinking about it now.
He had his first day yesterday, and I talked to him for a few minutes yesterday about it. But he didn’t really tell me anything, which is unusual for him. I thought about that for a moment, but then I decided that he was just tired.
He’s going to high school with this girl that was his best friend back in elementary school. He told me that he was in love with her up to 6th grade, but that he’s been over her since (And in case you’re wondering, I in no way believed him).
I ran in to a friend today who’s going to school with him. She told me that he and this old friend of his had been all over each other all day.

I know he still likes her. Just as much as I like him.
And I know that she’ll end up liking him too — everyone does.
And I know that soon I’ll just be forgotten.

What do I do?

As luck may seem to have it. I’m going to give you the realistic view.

What is happening is what you’re right about. You’re still young. You can easily forget in a few years. I’m sorry to say it, but you should let him deal with that. Keep in touch with him until you know it’s official with them. If it never happens, then make the move and he might cling to you. If it’s a no-go, and believe me it’s a long shot, then just move on. The only hope is that you move on now and hope the best for him, because if they get together and you keep in touch and then he breaks up with her, guess who’s the rebound? You.

tell him about your feelings & see what will happen but don’t sit there waiting for him to get free & choose you at the end .

You deserve to be love so don’t ever give him a chance to treat you as a second best chioce .

Guys are attracted to girls for their self confidence. Sweetie, if you act desperate & like a doormat, you’ll be treated like one. Don’t hand over your own power to any guy. If he doesn’t see how awesome you are, forget him. I know that it can be hard, but when you go after someone that is interested in someone else, you’re basically saying to them, treat me like crap coz I’ll take any attention you will give me. People can only treat you how you allow them to.

Well, no one should let any one take their power so it’s for guys & girls. If you treat yourself well, others will treat you well! Why would you want to control anyone else anyway? I don’t want to feel like I have to make someone like me. It’s a cruddy feeling & too much work!!!!! :)

Very true.
And I guess that I would never want to risk our friendship by us becoming more.
So maybe it’s for the better?
