Hey Crazie...wow, your life is packed with drama alright!
It kinda sounds like the two of you are confusing each other and yourselves?!
Try to think of it from his position: he doesn't know how you feel about him yet. I don't know about you: but when I think someone is just my friend, I don't sit and pine away by myself. I keep my eyes open for someone who might be an interesting prospect :wink:
I don't know what you should do, only you know.
But this best friend of yours?! Yikes! That's not very cool. I would confront her about that.
Then, I would tell him you like him already!
Just find the right opportunity, and do it casually. Get a feel for what his feelings are. If you do it right; you can avoid feeling weird afterwards if it turns out he would rather stay friends.
Remember Crazie: sometimes we have to go through a bunch of bungling, awkward, and confusing situations to get what we want. It's rare that two people are on the same page at the same time: so have patience and courage!
I know everything will be alright with you, because it's obvious you care about him and will do what is best.
Take care sister
