Dilemma!

Ok... so I have a bf... we've been together for a year.. "anniversary is coming up in about 2 weeks" *blush*
anyway, I know almost all of his buddies.. and I talk to one of them online! he knows about it of course and he doesn't seem to mind at all!
Me and his friend got really close and we talk about almost everything!
I'm a girl who knows her boundaries.. we never went out together, we rarely speak on the phone, and i hardly ever tell him about anything that me and my bf do together; either intimate or casual!
However, I noticed lately that I miss that guy so much when i don chat with him, I feel happy whenever we actually chat, I feel sad when he's sad, and I think about him every now and then 'not CONSTANTLY though!'....
As I said before , My bf doesn't really mind it! But he's expressed his discomfort b4 saying that he feels that his friend has crossed the line around me! But I just can't accept the idea that I'd actually BLOCK him outta my life for good! It's rude and stupid!
My dilemma is: If I feel that way about that guy, does that mean that I don love my bf enough???
If u ask me, Do u picture urself with his friend? I'd definitely say NOWAY!
But he's just a sweet, kind person to me! & that's why I like him!
Tell me ur honest opinion people!
Thx for taking the time to read :)

Ok, I think that the way you see him is your best friend because I think all the things you feel... since you cant picture your self with him then I think that you see him like a friend or a brother... But if your bf feels that you guys are getting to close then maybe you should talk to him tell him that he has become like a brother to you and that you only love him(your bf).... maybe he just needs to hear that... to be comfortable you two talking... I think that you just consider his as a really good friend... that is all....

I know how you feel. a situation similar to yours happened to me. i am married, i became friends with a lady. we were the best of friend. we loved to talk about everything. i was the best friendship i have ever had, other than with my wife. she is also married by the way. our spouses were ok with us being friend. we never met anywhere or anything like that . we chatted online some and talked when we saw each other out somewhere. her husbands best friend had a real problem with it. i actually think he was jealous of our friendship. another man also had a problem with it. so pretty much it is over. its hard to tell all that went on, but i do understand. true friends are so very rare. do all you can to save it. it hurts so much to lose a close friend.
this situation is what got me to writing. most of my early stuff is about this problem. i hope everything works out for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I appreciate what all of u said.. Really! and as for what courtney said.. i really disagree..! I didn't say i got butterflies when i think abt that friend! on the contrary, i just miss him!
i do get butterflies everytime i see or think abt my bf! I know I love him.. I'm SURE Of that! but i just felt a lil guilty bcuz i feel that way for his friend! but i guess, from what u ppl said, it's a normal thing & I should be ok with it! as long as there are no limits crossed... :)
thanx again people :)

I do doubt myself a LOT! I just want everything to be right, that's all :)

I agree with bob. why can't people be friends with a person of the opposite sex. my friend and i even talked about not crossing the line. it was just so great to have someone to talk to . it really bothered her that a couple people thought something was going on between us .
