    How can I stay friends?

    Last week I met this incredibly sweet and cute girl. She is 3 years older than me. It turns out she is dating one of my best friends. I acted normally until one day I randomly got sick. She thought it might be because I am jealous of them. I'm not the type to get jealous and that was my first time that I thought I might have a crush on her. Now I get depressed and sick when I'm not around her. I just want to stay friends with them both, but I don't know if I can get over my emotions. Can someone please help. I've never felt this way before but I just want to be friends...

    Well I guess being "love sick" or "sick with love" is true. Dear it will make things worse not better if you are friends with her. It is best to cut off all ties and work on not thinking about her. In time you will have moved on and be happy with life again.

    If you feel this way, you should avoid spending time alone with her. Just hang out with her when her boyfriend or other people are there. As long as you're doing that, there's no reason for you to feel bad about it.

    If you're sad because you're feeling jealous of their relationship, just keep in mind that there's somebody out there for you. Be patient, and know that your time to find somebody even better will come. Try to focus on other things and not let this bother you.

    @smackie9, I thought that would be best, but I don't feel like I'll ever get over her.

    @verticalmoon, I try spending time talking with both of them, but it is kinda awkward when they talk about their future. I think I just need to talk to her about it. (He doesn't know yet)

    You are just like dog running around already taken bone. Better go out and take another girl. Socialise with people to fill the gap in your life.

    You just met her last week, so obviously you don't see her much. Stop seeing her, but continue to be friends with your actual friend, and just don't hang out with him when she is around.

    You've only known her a week, you're just being dramatic by saying "I don't feel like I'll ever get over her."

    Matt, Serious question: Do you have any sense of what is right and wrong? Don't embarrass yourself by telling her about your ONE WEEK crush. She'll think you mad.

    She already knows, I just want to talk to her more about it. I didn't realize it but I was trying to impress her all last week. She saw that I was, though.

    Wow thats cool. I always dreamed about drawing girl more beautiful than she really is. You should be no probs to find amazing girl if you can draw. Just ask some random pretty girl to stand still for a while and whola give her draving as for a kiss, phone number, even invide for cofee straight away if she have time.

    I ask again: Do you have no sense of what is right and wrong? She is your friend's girlfriend. You are acting like a real douche bag.

    I tried to not get inbetween them and to save my friendship with them. How am I being a douche bag?

    Would you like if your friend will be messing around when you are with your girl?
