(their relationship is on and off) i cant look at her anymore. he told her that he has feelings for me and shes really upset and i feel like she will hate me for talkin to him too much. (we use to have late night talks) He says that he cant be a friend to me anymore. but i feel really to close to him and i begged him not to keep his distance. ( i cant believe i did that) He said it wont be the same anymore. but i really like him as i friend and i dont want him to think that i cant live without him ( and that im desperate) because i really care about him and my heart goes out to him. i love him as a friend.i cried to him because i didnt want him to leave. he said that he didnt realise that some1 cared for him so much.

Too much drama. Stop talking to both of them for a while. Stop playing soap opera. Get yourself another friend and another man. it is never wise to scratch your friend for a boy because always the boy will dump you. He sound sweet because you have not rolled in the hay with him yet. Unlike most girl, you seem to be somebody with great integrity. go girl.. the less you give them the more they love you anyway. keep up the good work. tell your friend I am distancing myself from both of you because i think that it is disrespecful of him to target you knowing that you are her friend.
good luck

If he has feelings for you then it is going to kill him to be around you and have to keep them inside.
You have to let him have some distance and get over you so you can stay friends. That would also show his ex and your female friend that you have no intention of stealing him away and it will save your friendship with her too.
I know it's hard when you are close to someone but you have to let him go for a while.
Good Luck!! xx
