- Sometimes we just need to get our head out of the sand!
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
I am 23 years old and have developed a crush on one of my friends. He tells me he’s had strong feelings for me for a long time and can’t get me out of his mind. He wants to date.
There is just one little problem: my best friend since childhood has feelings for him, too. He tells me he doesn’t feel the same about her. I know he’s led her on, making her think there might be a possibility of a relationship between them some time down the road.
All along he’s been seeing other girls and not fessing up. He says he hasn’t told her that there’s no chance between them romantically because he loves her as a “friend” and doesn’t want to hurt her feelings. They’ve been friends for a long time, too. I’m not sure how to handle this?
I’m stuck in the middle!
Dear Stuck:
UNSTICK and QUICK!!!
Good friends last a lifetime -“crushes” don’t.
He’s led her on. What makes you think you are going to be any different?
This is not worth losing a lifetime friend over – and this guy doesn’t sound like a good bet at any table.
Life has a wonderful way of sorting things when we get out of the way.
