my friend has a huge crush on her cousin's boyfriend

Sometimes we can't protect our loved ones from themselves and they may have to learn the lessons of life on their own, the hard way. I hope you don't set her up, because with her attitude as it is, its not fair to the guy.

I actually think you should protect your guy friend from her and not set her up. He doesn't deserve to be put in this ackward situation.

I think she's got a thing for the cousin's boyfriend because he's unattainable. People want what they can't have, it gives the brain something to latch onto and fantasize about, which is what she's doing. Even if they broke up, she's got no business dating her cousin's ex.

I have some feelings for my cousin's boyfriend. Here is a little bit of background. My cousin and her boyfriend grew up together since they were 7 and 8 years old respectively. Her boyfriend is in love with her for few years and until recently, about three months ago, my cousin return the feelings to him. I like her boyfriend for a while, like before they became the couple. But, her boyfriend did not return same feelings as I do, because he loves my cousin. I told my cousin how I felt about her boyfriend, and she told me that I need to move on and find someone who will likes me back. Do you think she is right and do you think you agree with my cousin about that? But, I can't move on, and I still like her boyfriend. I don't know, but I think I will stay single forever because obviously, the person I really like do not love me in a way I do. I know that it is wrong to break up my cousin and her boyfriend, because they do really love each other. But, somehow, I can't stop feeling upset because he really loves my cousin and want me to stay as his friend. How can I move on? Do you think that I will able to find someone else? I don't know if I can able to find someone that I would really love because there isn't any other guy that would be like my cousin's boyfriend. What should I do?!Also, I have another dilemma. My childhood friend, who I grew up with since we were eight years old really likes me but I do not like him more than friends. He repeatedly asked me out few times and each time I turned him down because I think it is wrong to say yes to him since I only love him as a friend. He is one of my best friends and I will always still needs him as my best friend, no matter what. But, his asking me out is getting tiring for me, and I do not know how to make him to understand how I feel. Any advices? Thanks for listening!

It doesn't seem like you have much of a choice. You need to move on. He doesn't want you, he wants your cousin. If someone doesn't like you as much as you like them, then it will never happen.
Just like your other friend that likes you. You don't like him the same way, so what chance does he have. Think about that.

I agree. But add, you are obsessed with your cousins boyfriend (guy A) and you are compairing all other men including your friend (guy B) to guy A. It really isn't fair to him to be compaired to another guy that you will never have a chance with. Even if he is the perfect boyfriend guy A will never be yours because he does not want to be. Also we have a tendency to want what we can't have, its always like that. But here is the thing, your cousin has her flag up on his body and heart, he is hers for the time being and it would be very wrong of you to take her boyfriend or try to. Go out with someone else and maybe you'll find the love you're looking for, but you have to look for a love that is possible. You can't complain about always being single if you are not actively looking at possibilities instead of the impossible.

First of all how old are you?

Move on, he is off limits, he's dating a member of your family. She is right, go find someone else

You have to move on and find your own fellow. Family is important and you just don't step into any family member's territory.
He is totally off limits!

As for your friend asking you out. All you can do is to keep reminding him how important your friendship is with him and that you have no romantic interest at all in him. If he doesn't take the blunt truth from you, you may need to find another best friend.

First it was your friend, now its you, Hmmmmm!
