Last week, my best friend told me she liked one of our friends (he's more my friend than hers, they're more like aquaintinces) and she kept bugging me to ask him who he likes so I finally gave in and asked him and when he didn't answer she made me ask him again. She really really likes him and told me she would be upset if he didn't like her. He told me that he'd text me later. And he told me the girl he liked was me and he thought I was pretty and smart and nice and all that stuff. And that he'd liked me since fourth grade, he lives in my neighborhood too....like on the next street over. So my best friend likes him he likes me and I have a boyfriend. He's my friend and I don't want things to be awkward between him and me and her and me and I don't know what to do! This is more of a vent than a question but I kinda need help figuring out what to do :)

Your best friend told you to ask your guy friend who he liked, hoping he would say it was her. So presumably she wouldn't mind if he knew that she had feelings for him!Secondly, you need to tell your guy friend gently but firmly that nothing can happen between the two of you. Even if you weren't already in a happy relationship and had feelings for your guy friend, it'd be a bit cruel to date him (at this point in time anyway) knowing that your best friend liked him so much.Finally, you could point your guy friend in the direction of your best friend. You mention they're just acquaintances at present; how about suggesting they get to know each other better? Tell your best friend to be more proactive in his regard too - if they don't associate with each other enough, they'll never know what they might be missing out on.Don't worry about it too much though, sweetheart. I remember being in situations like this very well :) Whatever happens, it'll all blow over in time, but for now that's the best way to deal with it I can think of to avoid any awkwardness or hurt feelings. Good luck and take care x
