What do i do?

[Patpatpainter]

Ive had feelings for my friend for a while now, he had feelings for me too, but now hes in a new online relationship with a girl he hasnt even known for two weeks yet. It hurts me when he talks about her, what doesnt help is that shes basically my double. What do i do?

Friends make the best lifelong partners, but why didn’t you act when he was single? Is there a possibility that you are only wanting to act now because your friendship is possibly compromised by his new relationship?

Just tell him how you feel?

Also, this is a fair question.

Sorry im new to this ive been trying to figure out how to reply. Honestly i thought he stopped having those feelings for me so i never brought it up, when i did find out and i brought it up he didn’t want to talk about it so i didn’t push, i also didn’t do anything about it because i felt like i was being pressured by the people around us to do something about it. I was planning on saying something because the new year but something happened that cause me not too. You might be right but at the same time im not sure, our friendship hasn’t changed so much because of his new relationship, it almost feels like everything is the same

Ive tried too once before but i couldn’t find the right words so i played it off, i don’t want to upset him if i tell him now

How would that upset him?

Im mainly just getting in my own head about this, but i guess i don’t want him to be upset that i told him now he’s in a relationship? I feel like a bad person for even considering to tell him now

Relationship smationship!
2 weeks is hardly happily ever after.

So you really think i should tell him?

You would not be bad person for telling him. And you can’t base a friendship on dishonesty anyway really.
Your call. You only live once. Good luck.

You’re right, i think i know what im gunna do, thank you for the help!

Two weeks isn't a 'relationship'. Have they even met if it's all online?

At the very most, it's the early stages of 'talking'.

I know what I'd do 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes, tell him.
Your friendship isn't really a friendship, is it? It's two people who are awkwardly dancing around these feelings that they have for each other, not communicating properly and being allround pretty disingenuous.
When "friendship" is just the smokescreen for people to get close enough to confess their feelings for each other, then there was never really a friendship to begin with. So basically, you have nothing to lose.
Worst case, you tell him point blank how you feel and he rejects you. In which case you can let go of this "friendship" and invest your time and energy in other places and other people.
