So I've been chatting with a boy who lives about an hour and a half from me and we've been getting on quite well, even going as far as talking about meeting up at Christmas time. He's just the perfect boyfriend material - good looking, fit, intelligent, funny and from an incredibly wealthy family (not that I'm a gold digger, but it's a bonus to an already amazing guy). I like him a lot, and we get along quite well.

Only problem is, he's got a supposedly straight best friend who he has very strong feelings for. This guy he likes is better looking than me, richer than me, fitter than me and likely more intelligent than me. I wouldn't be worried if he wasn't apparently "quite camp" and acted a little flirty towards the one I like. I really quite like this boy and I honestly don't know how he feels about me, whether we could ever become serious, etc.

I'm not sure if I'm just wasting my time as he has feelings for this other "straight" guy, or whether I have nothing to worry about? Should I confront him about it? Ignore it? Please help!

Talk to him and explain how you feel towards him, (irrespective of his feelings) then at least it's out in the open, from there you really are dependant on his reaction.

Try not to get your hopes up if he has feelings towards somebodyelse, and remember hopefully the friendship will remain in tact and there are other guys out there.

Hope I've Helped :)

I know that kind of Conversation can be awkward, but you should try and tell him how you feel before meeting up. then you would know where you stand with him in terms of the possibility of a future relationship (and if this other guy is straight, you've got nothing to worry about!) Good Luck! :)

Gandalf's hit the Uruk'hai on the head there. Tell him you are attracted / think he's great or whatever you can manage : anything that makes him realise you are interested. Otherwise I can see this playing out like a bad romantic comedy and the 'straight' boy will just turn out to be in the closet, and since he clearly isn't as brave as you are, you deserve to win your prince charming by getting in there first.

Good luck!

Okay thanks guys (: I'll have to have a word with him about it next time he's not completely bogged with school work, which is for about an hour per week ahaha.

Dude. You close to him so tell him. Not like its a race to the finish with this other chap but like its really something he needs to know about you. Or of he already knows, let it loose by telling him how "good of a friend" he is. It will only get better from there.
