a friend of mine likes the same guy i like. i'm afraid to hurt her, so i keep telling her that i only admire the guy. yeah, its true, i dont love him (yet), and i dont want to fall in love with him even though my friends, including the one who also likes the guy, tell me that he seems to like me. i dont want to hurt her. also, just a few months ago, i broke up with the only bf i had my whole life. i feel its still too early to get into another relationship. i dont know if im still being true to myself. im not hypocrite, but its true when i say its fine with me that she likes him too. even of he happens to fall for my friend, its fine with me. but i get a little jealous when my friend flirts with him. am i a bad person? am i being a bad friend? am i bad to myself?

Girl, I would worry about hurting people in another life! Friendship should be based on truth, honor, honesty. Throw the jealousy and so forth out the window. What do you feel? Let it be known you like him. Show her. Show him. You only go through life once. Make the best of it!

hi! im sorry, i forgot to mention that my friend knows that i like the guy, too. the truth is, i can somehow sense that the guy likes me, and maybe, with the kind of friendship that we have, we have become afraid to let our feelings grow. also, my friend knew from the start that i like the guy, and sensed that the guy likes me. its just that she flirts with him openly. im not bad-mouthing her, in fact she's the one who told me she's flirting with him. and that is how my problem started..
