punch him
Your female friend may feel more pressure or have different emotions around you compared to her other male friends. This could be due to feelings of attraction, nervousness about your opinion of her, or feeling unsure about your feelings towards her. It's important to communicate openly and discuss these feelings to understand each other better.
It means he still has feelings for you, but doesnt like you as much as he likes the other girl.
Then you just have to say to both of them 'look I really like you both' (even if you don't) this will spare the other guys feelings once you pick the other boy you like and then hope they stay friends best of luck :)
Give up, because if she knows you like her, and if the feelings aren't mutual, she may give that excuse to make you feel better...I've done it.
Maybe tell the other one that likes you you're not really interested in him
You tell her as soon as you have time. I was in this situation 2 years ago, and believe me it it much better if you tell her. Because if the truth about your true feelings is not out, this can and probably will cause some frictions in a few month. For myself and my friend who had other feelings for me, today we are the best of friends.
You should tell him that you are aware of his feelings for you and if he really likes you then he should just embrace it and not worry about what other people think because he can never know if your the one for him and if he just ignores his feelings because his friends might make fun of him then he could miss out on the love of his life.
It could be many things, but the most common reason would be because he feels an attraction towards the girl - but doesn't know how to express his feelings to her.
You should tel them how you feel because you never know what can happen.
It means you have to tell her to make a decision because this is a love triangle that isn't really meant to be. It has to be either you or the other guy. If she picks you, go for it. If she picks the other guy, be friends because she doesn't deserve you in that more than friends kind of way.
Girls are aloud to have other friends, that are guys to. just because she talks to them doesn't mean they don't like you.
He probably cries because he feels he has hurt your feelings because he is not in love with you like you are in love with him. He likes you and that is a start so stop cornering the poor guy by telling him you love him because it will only corner him and may breakup whatever chance you have together. Take the relationship slow and easy and get to know each other and until then treat each other as friends with no sexual contact.
