So, I just found out that the girl I love (who happens to be one of my best friends) and my roommate (who happens to be my other best friend) have been going out for a couple of weeks now.→[More:]*sigh*

Oh man, Pusher, that suuucks. Some friends -- they didn't even tell you! :\ Well, here's to hoping it won't last, and you'll get your chance, yet.

I bet your friend knew how you felt too! Man, this sucks.

If you are his (her?) roommate, you shouldn't have too much trouble stirring enough trouble to break them up pretty quickly. Not that I would suggest you do anything to spoil your friends' happiness.

Well, it's been made pretty clear that my feelings for her are not reciprocated, so if they're happy together, good for them. Doesn't really make it much easier to take, though. (And they hadn't told me because they didn't want me to be upset--because, you know, finding out several weeks later certainly wouldn't have that effect.)

You're better off without her and someday she will run into you will your perfect match and she will see the error of her ways.

Visualize man.

I'll be leaving in a couple weeks after the end of the quarter (I'm a college student), so I'll have several months of kick-ass internship before I have to start dealing with it again. I've within the past month or so managed to start the whole accept-it-and-move-on process wrt my feelings for her, so hopefully things will be better come fall.

I've felt the pain of unrequited love and it really hurts. Be good to yourself, and never let them know how much you're hurting. Dignity is all.

This exact same thing happened to me in college except at the beginning of the year and I was in a dorm with no chance to move out. It totally sucks.

I feel for you TPR.

Oh man, the pain. The PAIN! I have so been there and I completely sympathize. I am so glad that you are going to be getting away from the situation soon. A little time and distance can do wonders.
