Linda vs. luara for shannon

Me and my friend luara like the same guy but the thing is that laura doesnt know i like him and friday he told me that he liked me. but this whole time i was trying to get them together so i was blocking out my feeling for him. then he surprises me with this now i dont know how to tell luara that i like shannon and he likes me.cause i know it going to hurt her so bad

What i would do in this situation is talk to her. tell her u dont want to hurt her feelings and explain to her exactly what happened. tell her u liked him too but wanted her to be happy so u tried hooking them up. but then it turned out that he liked u. just explain everything to her. and if she gets upset. then just let her cool down for a while. if ur friendship is more important to u then this guy. then neither one of u should go for him cuz it could turn out ruining your friendship. umm idk. hope this helped a little bit.
