Completely caught up, and he's leaving

    I met this guy a few months ago and we got very friendly rather quickly, hung out, etc. After the first two weeks or so, I realised I had strong feelings for him, but was afraid to voice this as he had just broken up with a longterm girlfriend. I feel so strongly about him that it frightens me- I dream about him, I can't stop thinking about him, when I see him, I feel like I'm melting into a puddle of besotted love-mush...

    Then, I find out, he's attracted to my best friend. He's leaving tomorrow to spend the summer working abroad for 12 weeks and I feel absolutely awful. I also realised today that a friend of mine is attempting to hook up with an ex boyfriend that I never completely got over. I feel indescribably yuck.

    What should I do? I don't know if this guy is attracted to me, he's very laid back and tends not to show extreme emotions- he's a very aloof type.

    This guy is going to be gone for 12 weeks. even if he feels the same as you, there is no point starting something the day before he heads off for the summer.

    To me it seems pointless to say anything to him now. i would try enjoy your summer, get out & meet new people etc. if when he comes back you still feel the same then maybe try do something about it then.

    Sounds like you're a bit buggered. Your call in the end but doing your best to quench the feelings might be your only realistic course of action. He's attracted to your friend, if he told you that it pretty much rules out the possibility he's after you and puts you pretty squarely in the "friends" zone.

    Sorry OP, but I wouldnt bother trying to start anything, at anytime, with someone who was attracted to my best friend.

    Has anything actually happened between you and this man?
