The situation is, you are inlove with somebody. But before you open it to your best friend, you discovered that she is also madly inlove with the guy. You love your friend but you also love the guy. Apparently, the guy was inlove with you. The dilemma here is, you love both of them. Will you answer the guy? or will you not answer the guy because you are considering the feeling of your best friend? this is so hard. Is it a form of betrayal for my bestfriend if I answer the guy because I love him?

This is a difficult situation.. If I am in your situation maybe I'll talk to the guy and tell him that my best friend is in love with you... Maybe, he should do something to my friend like tell him and he don't have a feeling for her and she should find another guy because he is in love with someone else... The guy should tell my friend the truth and also I so that I am not fooling her since she is my friend.. I will be honest to her no matter what will be the outcome because it is not nice to lie to her, the more she will be hurt if she found out that I am lying to her.. The more she can't understand and feels that I betrayed her even though I'm not.. Sometimes, the more we keep something just be to kind and not to hurt the feelings of others the more we are becoming bad because they were thinking that we are betraying and fooling them even though we are just protecting them.. So, I'd better tell her the truth so that she won't get really hurt, because the more she is in love with the guy and trusting you so much the more she will get hurt and find difficulty to move on... And the feelings that you have for that guy must keep it for a while until your friend had finally accept it..

I dont think that this would realistically ever happen between me and my bestfriend; liking the same guy because we are just so different and like different types of guys. But if this did ever happen, I dont know what I would do. I think I would have to talk about this and see what the situation is. I know that I would never betray her and she would never betray me, so I dont think I have to worry but if something like that did ever happen, I would be really sad and I dont know if I could continue being friends with her anymore.

love - love hurts
That is a difficult situation for anybody but if I am in that kind of situation, I'd just let fate decide. If I find out that the guy really loves and I love him, too, I wouldn't let my best friend's feelings for him get in the way. I might hurt my best friend but there is no point in holding back myself from loving the guy and giving him up to my best friend when he does not love her. It would only complicate matters. The best friend need to understand that. If she doesn't, and will insist her love to the guy even if it was obvious that he is in love with me, and that I love him, too, probably she is not worth the friendship. In your situation, let your best friend know how you feel for the guy, explain to her the situation, and just hope that she will understand. It is always better to face the truth than hide from it.
