I'm in love with my best guy friend, but he likes my best girlfriend.
I've known him for a good year and a half, and about four months ago we found out we live only about two blocks away from each other and started hanging out all the time.
At first it was awesome, for me at least a total click at least in the friendship department, I can tell him anything, and unlike other friends, even girlfriends, he gives me honest advice, and I like the way I am around him.
Since becoming close to him I've discovered how to actually like myself properly, and I feel like I've become a better person.
Now the problems really started when I began to realize that I might like him, at first I was more concerned with our friendship, because not only does it mean the world to me, but he has also told me on many occasions that it means a lot to him too.
Then one day I was talking about him to a friend of mine and she mentioned that the way I spoke about him and look on my face made me seem like I was in love with him, at first I denied it entirely but then realized she was right, and I'm not one to cry but I started to cry when I realized this.
He is the first person I have ever been in love with, and I didn't want to make a move because I knew something like this could get really bad really quickly.
It was about two weeks ago that while we were talking about relationships he mentioned my girlfriend as being the best choice to date currently, because he saw the best future with her.
It hurt to hear, but other then that he didn't really say anything further about it, but then the very next day we found out that another one of our friends was planning on asking her out, and he said that he was actually planning on asking her out too.
I was crushed, but not wanting to add my feelings into this already complex mix, I've continued playing the role of best friend, and have even been helping him.
The weird part is that he pretty much treats us the same way, I mean we stays up until 2 in the morning some days at my place just talking, and never seem to run out of things to say, or just the other day, even though he had ridden his bike he walked me pretty much the whole way home even though it was in the opposite direction.
The big thing that's really killing me is that I know him and I are closer then he and her are, and from what I can tell he doesn't know that much about her, and she doesn't know that much about him either, and I don't know if she actually likes him, or if she just sees him as handsome and might be a good idea to try and date.
This whole thing is just absolutely killing me, because on one end I want to be selfish and tell him how much I like him, but then on the other end I just want the both of them to be happy, and I'm afraid of losing both of them.
