Dear Alex,
I'm need of advice, any advice I can get, really. I might be in love with, though I'm not really sure, my best friend's boyfriend. They've been dating for almost a year and I'm leaving the school at the end of this year. Should I give up? Should I keep trying? If I give up, how do I move on? If I keep trying... what is there to do?
Sincerely,
Readingandstuffs

Dear Readingandstuffs,

    Well this is starting to sound like your book. Yes, I do read your book (: But I feel like this is a sticky situation and either way its a tough one to get through with. The thing is you may not know what you feel for this guy. You did say, your not sure. See, the thing is, its hard to tell someone that you like or maybe even love them when they are in a relationship. I for one would say go for it, if they didn't have a girlfriend but they do and it's your best friend also. You may just hurt her and get hurt in the end also. This unfortunately isn't a book, you can't always have a happy ending. Unlike the book, you won't be able to get the guy that you are in love with. I say, that it's risky to keep trying. I think you should find someone else to like or even love but don't give up. There are plenty of guys out there. The way to move on, well the path to moving on is  rough one. I know this from experience. But let me just say that it isn't an impossible one. If you are leaving at the end of the school year then you can guarantee that you will find another guy that isn't taken by any of your friends. I know it's not the answer you want to hear. You probably want to hear that you should keep trying and to see how he feels about you but reality is, that he probably just sees you as a friend. Think about it, if he liked you as more then he would dumb your friend and go with you. But even that is going to be a predicament because then your friend will not only be hurt by him but be hurt and betrayed by you. I say, be a good friend, don't hurt anybody, and save yourself from being hurt, a bad friend, and something you may regret.  I hope this helped you and I hope you find happiness at the end of the day <3

Yours sincerely,

      Alex
