Feeling really confused...:-(

This guy (your new friend) seems to be a good listener. Perhaps you should express how you feel. Be open and honest with him and let him know how you feel.

I did the same thing and it improved the friendship and now the ambiguity is no longer there. We know that it's just a friendship and that my heart belongs to someone else.

And you know... there is such a thing as the old Postal Service you know. When's the last time you've received a nice HAND-WRITTEN letter from your BF... you know with a hint of cologne on it, etc. Those can make the distance and the time apart seem not as bad. It shows that you still love each other and you aren't going to let this obstacle ruin something special.
