Strange situation...
It sounds like he's confused. It's best to talk to him and find out. Directly. NOTHING is proven until you get the words from him.
As for your ruined friendship, try to talk that out too. Explain that it was all a mess because of this and that, etc. If it doesn't work, move on and find some other best friend. The true best friend will always forgive, forget, and understand.
he probably does like you,BUT do want to mess up your friendship which he truly values.
If your friend likes him back, back down. Risking your friendship is not worth it. If he likes you both, but your friend doesn't like him, tell him. If he ONLY likes your friend, don't do it, as he'll use you to get to your friend.
Having feelings for a person is completely natural and you can have feelings for anyone, no matter your friend likes that person or is dating that girl. Don't stop liking her just because of this.. just be normal... don't try to get too close cause this may cause probems in your friendship. If your really serious about her, find out if your friend likes her as much as you do or it's nothing serious...If it's not that big a deal for him, then you can spend time with her n stuff, but tell him if your really close to him.. as in best friend sor something...
If your best friend likes you, they talk to you and help you with your problems without getting bored and changing the subject. If you doubt their friendship then its prolly not a true friendship, talk to them about it. If they're your friend they will understand an not get mad.
just ignore it. if you do something it might wreck your friendship with your friend or your boyfriend.
Talk with her or ask her out and then you will find out by her response.
it might mean that he doesn't want to tell you that he likes you or that he likes you as a friend not a girlfriend. but to find out if he likes you maybe ask his friend if he talks about you or who does he like.
I am going through the same as you. What I would do is talk to your friend and see what she thinks. If you start fighting over this boy then it's not worth it. You shouldn't risk your friendship for a boy. :)
A friend that is a girl likes you, then you have to decide if you like her more as a friend too. Taking the relationship to a different level will change things. It may also ruin your friendship.
You're in luck! It depends. Take some time and consider these things: Who do YOU like? Which one likes you more? How strong is their friendship? Is it worth it to ruin their friendship over you?
You might want to ask yourself how much he likes you, and how much you like him.If your friend likes him back, you might have to sit back and wait and see if it works out.If not, offer your support to both of them.If your friend doesn't like him back, perhaps ask her to talk to him and tell him she likes him as a friend, but no more, and hint about you and him.But generally, just keep on being friends with him, and remember he might be confused about who he likes more between you, and probably right now he needs friendship, not romance!
If your guy friend likes you tell him how you feel about it. If you like him let him know. If you don't, break it to him easily but not to easy that way he understands and you still have a friendship.
