    Hey, heres the low-down on the situation.

    My best friend has this seriously huge crush on this boy. This boy has a serious crush on me. I have a serious crush on this boy. And this boy happens to also be also one of my best friends.

    My question:

    What is the best solution to this problem?
    A. I don't acknowledge the fact that this whole love triangle mess is in the middle of our friendship.
    B. I talk to my best friends and tell them how frustrating this is.
    C. A&B are good.
    D. None of the above (please give me a better solution if you choose D.)

    Please help a girl out. I sound like a whining little kid, but I could seriously use some help. Just suggestions. I know I should figrure all this out on my own, but Id like some more experienced wisdom involved.

    I wouldn't go so far as to say that your friend wouldn't have "any problem with it whatsoever." In a perfect world, a friend might be able to completely put aside her emotions in favor of a friend, but in reality, people are kind of messy. She may try really hard to support you, but still feel hurt, possibly betrayed. It's just one of those things. Love happens. The pbest you can personally do is, perhaps, to just be honest, but have some consideration. If you end up with this fellow, don't automatically think it's ok to makeout with him in front of her. You know? Be assertive, but sensitive, and remember that people don't always do what they're supposed to do, but that love, like the one you have contained in your friendship, can almost miraculously cover the gravest trials.

    THANKS! SERIOUSLY THANKS!

    Im just going to talk to her, and kind of bring it up that I like him a lot. Then he plans on doing the same, but about a few days apart so it doesnt look so planned. Hopefully she wont be crushed.
