Hi,
I am a guy and in summer 2012 I participated in a two month co-ed program at my summer camp. I met a ton of new people and made a bunch of new friends. Immideately after it ended I kept in touch with a lot of them but eventually it turned into just two friends I was keeping in touch with. They're both girls. Let's call one Stacey and the other one Clara (these are not their real names). During that summer, I liekd Clara and those feelings lasted quite a while after the summer, until mid-January. Clara and Stacey are best friends, and I developed an immensly close relationship with Stacey as well. She became my best friend. Eventually I lost contact with Clara but we reconnected on a teen trip that all 3 of us were on. We became extrememly close as friends, even more than before. My feelings for her also came back. Then all 3 of us worked at the summer camp this past summer and became very close as a three-person friendship. Last night we were all invited to a house party. Since it was close to where I live and not to them, the plan was to sleep over at my house. Also, we were gonna have a sick night as 3 best friends since they both missed the staff party after camp. This was also the first time we were gonna get drunk together and we were all really excited. Anyway, we went to the party and we were hanging out and drinking but then some guy who none of knew came to join us. My two friends were instantly more interested in spending time with him than with me. The three of them ended up cuddling on some outdoor bed thing leaving me alone and without my 2 best friends. They all went inside at one point and later on Stacey came out because Clara and the guy were hooking up. I was devastated. I know that Clara doesn't feel the same way about me and I can't stop her from being with other guys, but it broke my heart. It ruined the night even more. We all went back to my place and stayed up very late just hanging out as best friends again but the whole time I was upset. I was upset because my best friends ditched me for some guy they didn't even know when this was supposed to be our night. I was also upset because of Clara's hook up. I really just need someone to talk to right now because usually I go to Stacey when I have problems, but right now I don't want to tell her how hers and Clara's actions, by ignoring me completely, pretty much ruined what was supposed to be the best night ever.

Hello welcome to VT

I fully understand what you are expericence, happened to me aswell.
The best thing you can do is forget Clara. I know it hurts and seems impossible to do so, but trust me is the best thing you could do.
Go out with different friends dont think about her.

I think we've all experienced an unrequited crush at some point and the best you can do is try to move past it. It's highly likely that she doesn't feel the same way, but don't let that hold you back. There are plenty more girls and you're young so there's also plenty of time.

it's not just that Clara hooked up with another guy. My two best friends and I planned on having a night for the 3 of us to have fun together, and I got ditched. This whole summer we spoke about how close we got and how we became best friends, but suddenly it doesn't feel like it anymore
