A male United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Ok, this story/question is long and convoluted... Here goes. I have two friends, one is my best friend ever, she is the most amazing person I know. The other is a friend who lives a while away from me, and we get on really well. Now the part where I look bad, I really liked them both at one point in time, and had the opportunity to take one to a fancy restaurant, all expenses paid. I took the friend who doesn't live near me. I really enjoyed my day with her, we got on really well. I then ended up thinking we were going out.

We met up a couple of times, nothing ever physical, but we were close. Even going to her prom together. The problem is,that all this time I had growing feelings for the other girl, the feelings grew day by day and I started to regret the decision I had made of who to take, and finally. I realised what a massive mistake it had been. I am very good friends with the girl I did take, but to me, we aren't girlfriend and boyfriend. at the prom she started to seem more intent on other people than me.

I have told the girl who is my best friend all of this. I told her that I have had feelings for her for 6 months. To which she replied saying that she had had feelings for me back then as well. Yet taking the other girl had broken her heart. I told her that I have been regretting the decision I made ever since. It has caused my to lose sleep, I am often depressed, knowing that had I made a different decision I could be going out with the girl who I dream of every night, the girl who to me is perfect. I don't know what to do she has said to me that she may start liking me again sometime. But how do I know when that will be? I could be waiting a lifetime. I have tried to move on from her. But every time I try it just gets harder. I can't stop thinking about it. I hate this situation, just one thing, thank god my best friend is still standing by me through all of this. What do I do?

you obviously really hurt this girl by taking the other one it maybe a good idea to stop talking to the one you took to the prom so the other one can see how serious you are about her and that way you can show her you want to be with her as for knowing when she likes you again there is no way to be able to tell it may take a while with you hurting her i would just try talking to her again and explain everything to her again
