I made a mistake there, and I hate myself every day because of it. I still like her but I got confused and scared and ever since then anytime we are around each other it's just alot of silence and awkwardness. This has been ongoing for months.Recently one of my best friends keeps texting and IM'ing her daily mainly "flirting" with her, the average conversation with the smileys and stuff. He knows about how I tried to go after her but now I've become highly depressed about it and with my best friend doing this it makes me very uncomfortable. I read his IM's all the time (I have his e-mail password) but he also texts here and I have no idea what talks happens on those. I don't want to speak to him about this subject but I don't know what to do. I'm depressed that I messed up and now my best friend is going to take what I wanted to be mine?I am full of many negative emotions. Any words of advice?

He's obviously getting a response from her. Possibly going about it a different way to what you did. Ask him for some tips on how to get a girlfriend next time. Show him you are over this, then maybe he will let you in on the truth about him and her. Also you must try not to let it ruin the friendship with your friend, he doesnt realize it hurts you and alls fair in love and war.
