look at things from this angle, it seems that you're very interested in this girl and so is your friend. now are you willing to let her loose the feelings that she has for you now because you're unable to give her the feelings that she wants in return? more so being that she has another option, your friend, she has nothing to lose.. but only your interest. now if you could change all this by opening up to her and forgetting about the past. as i have said before, i think the people in general tend to worry too much about the future that they get caught up in the present and forget that life is too short for anything. to be satisfied later in life, you're gonna have to only worry about NOW and forget tomorow or the past because it's either too far ahead or too far behind to think about. raverboy
