Triangle...

I am in love with my best friend. I am 18 and he is 17. I think he likes me too, but I can never be sure because he is the quiet type. But when he is drunk, he tells me he loves me and has even kissed me in his drunkennes. His cousin, who is 15 about to turn 16 likes me, and has told me. I feel trapped because if the cousin were older i would date him, but I love my best friend and could see myself with him forever. I just dont know if it would be wrong to be with my best freind knowing his cousin is in love with me but then again im not even sure that our feelings are mutual. Please give me some advice. I am so confused. Thank you.

Um....
I suppose, the only advice I can offer is to wait.
I know it seems hard, and somebody else may have better advice than I do, but I believe that with patience, things can work it out.
You can never takes drunken statements seriously, no matter what. The cousin is too young now... wait for your best friend, and after a while, if you find you just can't wait, approach him (while you and him are both sober, lol) and ask him about if. Make sure you are alone and do not bring up your cousin. If you truly love him, you cannot see yourself with any othr, even his cousin.

I'm sorry, that's the best advice I have to give to you... hope it helps, even the slightest bit. I know, love is tough and complicated, and whatever happens, happens for a reason.

Good Luck!

Love

Okay, first of all, I'd like to point out: Don't let age determine your decision.

Secondly, follow your heart. If you want your best friend, then ask him. As you've stated above, he's the quiet type, so he probably will be hesitant to ask you. And if he says no, then you will know for sure that he doesn't feel the same for you and then you can continue being just friends. =/

well, love is never easy...is it? i understand what you might feel about this whole situation but we need to be strong to pour our hearts out and stand by the truth. the cousin has been fairly courageous to confess his feelings for you; while that certainly sounds honest, you musn't forget that he's a tender age right now and prone to many a changes in his world.

and about your best friend- well, its tough already that you have someone you share your intimate thoughts with and he's the one you love too while he's certainly restrained with his response. it could mean a lot of things until you both take a stand and TALK about it all. also, try to have an honest conversation with the cousin about your own take of his feelings and be tender in handling his emotions. i am sure when you are that honest, things will work around fine. be brave! all the best.

Thanks guys

Age shouldnt matter.
But if you are just "intersted" in this cousin, and you love your best friend....I would say go with your best friend. Dont go withsomeone just because they love you....you have to love them back..and im pretty sure that if you have these feelings towards your best friend...that he has them aswel!! You need to strait up find out!

I would wait and see if ur best friend comes around..its really the only thing you can do

I hope everything works out
Take Care
