For the past five months, I have been in love with my best male friend. Trying not to show it, I encouraged him to like one of our mutual friends. I know, it was stupid, but now they are together. She knew how much I liked him, but disregarded it.

They have been together for a week now, but I still can't get it off my mind. All sorts of questions go through my mind.... what if I would have told him before? When will they break up? Should I try to break them up? My other friends offer as much help as they can, but it's pretty much all the same. "There are other fish in the sea." That's great advice, but it doesn't help me much when I am still in love with him.

Oh, don't even! YOU knew you liked him, yet YOU encouraged him to date her. YOU disregarded yourself.

Your friends are right on target. There are other fish in the sea, so get ta fishin'; YOU let the big one get away.
