Well a few years ago i reconnected with an old family friend. She was best friends with my aunt in the 60s and they grew up together. After my aunt passed she became friends with my mother but they ended up having a falling out when i was 5 and i hadnt seen her since. We have so much in common and she’s become my best friend and kinda a mentor to me. She understands my family situation and is so supportive and helpful, if i’m having a bad night she’s a 5 minute drive away and i’m always welcome there. The ‘problem’ is kinda her son. He’s closer to my age (i’m 18 and he’s 22) and we get along great. He’s become a really good friend to me but a while ago i realized i was forming a crush on him. We have a movie night at least once a week at her house and we watch the movie in his bedroom. She’ll often go to bed early and me and her son will just stay up, talk, and play video games till like 2am. We get along so well its crazy. We really understand each other and can act weird or dumb without being embarrassed. I started realizing a few months ago that i had this awful crush on him but he had a girlfriend and it was just a fantasy. But a few weeks ago he broke up with his bitch of a girlfriend. I want him to have all the time he needs to grieve the relationship but in the mean time i don’t know what to do! He’ll put his arm around me or compliment me and i’ll just melt. He’s not just nice, patient, understanding, and supportive… he’s HOT! Like way out of my league (i’m overweight). So i guess i’m just looking for advice on how to deal with the crush? after he’s had time to get over his ex should i say anything at all or just keep my mouth shut? i don’t want to screw things up because than i’d lose my two best friends.
