What to do when a teen has a crush on a good friend. You both have been good friends for a long time but recently you have started developing feelings towards that person. You feel really jealous when your friend goes out on a date with someone. You don’t know since when you’ve started feeling attracted to your friend and you have strong feeling now. Most teens must have experienced this. But they don’t know what to do about this. There are many options for you. Here are a few situations; you will have to analyze thoroughly and then perceive the status of your friendship and then act accordingly.

Keep your feelings at bay: If your friend is in a relationship with someone then you well have to ignore your feelings. If she/ he have found someone special you will have to be supportive of the fact that the person is good enough for your friend. If you do not keep your boundaries in check chances are that you would lose your friend.

Discuss your feelings with your friend: Discussing your feelings honestly with your friend could be very difficult because it involves the risk of ruining your friendship.

Make new friends: Going for this option may hurt your friend. It might create a lot of confusion and pain. If you spend less time with your friend then your friendship may suffer a set-back. When you do successfully distance yourself from your friend, one day you would realize that the crush on your friend has withered away and then you could get back to your friend and maintain the friendship.

Continue the relationship: you may choose to go on with the friendship no matter what. You might hope for the best that your friend one day realizes that she/her has the same feelings for you.
