Now it shows up that a close friend of mine and the boy I like are in love with each other. I never show I like him though. And I'm just tryin to understand that--maybe I'm not his type.
The thing is that, she and he expressed their feelings to each other by chattin on MSN yesterday night [she told me--and god, it is valentine's day = =] . I'm sad, but tryin to keep my kool. He's a friend of mine too. I guess he doesn't know yet that I already known the story. I wanna consult you whether I should act like I know what's happenin , or should I act like I don't know anything ?

Thanks much friends

Act like you know what's happening. Honesty with frirends is always a priority.

"If I do good, people might accuse me of selfish, ulterior motives, but I will still do it. Because I believe no one is malicious, not in their core, in their raw being.
The best in them is clouded by sorrows and fears, take those away and you'll bring out the brightest of lights in them.
Because no one can be happy without being kind, without giving ourselves to another, and we all love to give ourselves, it is our true nature.
That is why, even if I might get disappointed, I'll always give the best I've got. A single candle can light a thousand others and still burn." - Skezra

I went through the exact same thing last year; my best friend started the dating the girl I really liked. And then I went into a downward spiraling depression just about until they broke up. That was also the one time in my life where I tried cutting.

My suggestion would be to let them know that you know, and also tell them how you feel. That way, if they start dating, they might try to not do anything romantic around you; they'll know that it might cause you pain, and they might be more cautious about it.

be honest, if your act like you know nothing then later on he finds out that you knew all along he might rethink the friendship or something like that...

thank you to you all,,

be honest...

Well, although your envy here is understandable, you have to also keep in mind that neither of them know your true feelings. So, it's not like they're doing something to betray you or intentionally hurt your feelings.

It's unclear to me what your q is, are you asking if you should reveal those feelings? The answer to that is no. They are in a relationship and happy together, and inserting your feelings at this point will only create complications. That horse, as they say, has left the barn. Elvis has left the building....You must now address your own disappointment privately.

If you're asking if you should tell the other one about your msn convo, the info the other one shared, the answer to that depends on the agreement you have with the speaker. If they've given you expressed permission to share it, then it's OK..but if they have not, then treat it as confidential.

Of course, the moral to the story is that you cannot catch the fish if you don't hook the worm. Next time, take the risk and share your feelings with the guy....the result is often very nice!

I would let my friends know, so they try and not dating around you, if they even start to date.

if you don't act now then you will never know, don't keep stuff bottled up inside. Talk to your friend, if she is a true friend she will understand

Talk to him and tell him your feelings and then at least he knows how you feel.
And then the best thing to do is to see where it goes from there!(:
Hope this helped!(: xx

Well the first one you understand is right, that's my question : )
thank you for your very helpful help--actually it's just like my idea
