I was gutted when my friend asked him out!

Here's my problem: I really clicked with this guy who goes to my college, quicker than any friend I have ever made. He's really physical and touches me a lot. He likes carrying me around, sitting next to me - when our knees touch under the table neither of us move, he tickles me - I am really ticklish everywhere!, he compliments me and makes me laugh all the time. we were both single when we met each other and I thought he liked me but then a girl who I am friends with and who knew I liked him, asked him out and he said yes and now he does to her some of the things he was doing to me - I say 'was' because since they started dating we've not hung around as much even when we can and I can't help but simply avoid eye contact with him when I can feel him looking at me. Things were so easy and relaxed now I'm really confused about what I should/ shouldn't do, how I should feel.. People on my course think he is just her rebound. I've noticed him calling other people by my name several times, by accident, then quickly correcting himself to say the right name. He has called his girlfriend by my name and me by hers. I keep trying to persuade myself that he's just a friend and that's all he'll ever be because I think if I don't then I'll be letting myself hope too much, but..I still really like him, I wish I knew whether to get over him or not - that would be hard. I was gutted when my friend asked him out but got consolation from the fact that the asking wasn't the over way around. I could go on but I need you to be awake if you're going to write a reply :)
