I would go on what she tells you herself, not what another guy tells you. He could be competing.

birdynumnums agony auntUnfortunately, you really can't avoid her or ignore the whole situation. I suspect that she probably knows that you know too, friends talk. I think that I would sit her down quietly somewhere and hash it out with her. A bit of clearing the air will at the very least confirm what your friend said and then you can get over it. The first conversation is the hardest after hearing news like this, afterwards, it will get less awkward and finally, it may actually start feeling normal again. I'm sorry for your disappointment, rest assured, there are other girls at the school that are probably happy that you are single and available. XXX Hugs.

Start looking into other girls. It is THE way to move out of this. Every possible outcome in the book is pointing you in the same direction:

-- It makes you look less desperate to your crush/friend, and it will gradually make you BE a little less desperate even though it won't feel that way at first. That helps restore the friendship & comfort level again. It gets it over the "lump" that's been added lately.

-- Her seeing other girls liking you is the only thing that might possibly change your crush/friend's view of you. It probably still will not change her view of you, but at least it won't hurt. It's the only thing that even stands a snowball's chance in hell of changing it.

-- And if you don't move on right now, continuing to hang on your crush/friend will only make it even less likely that her feelings will ever change.

Well first off you should actually ask her if you should ask her yourself, even if maybe what a the mutual said might be true, you gotta always ask the person.

Thought be prepared to what shes gonna say.

and if it doesnt turn out good. than just be happy that you got her as one of your close friends and there is other girls around you just gotta look.

and who knows maybe she might fall for you just not now. so have your options open.

and good luck!
