Spiralling

Every time I reach for you, you slip through my fingers

Spiralling - Keane

Why me? What did I ever do to deserve all this?

So basically, one of my guy friends likes me. I already knew this, so this wasn't a huge shocker. But he would always say he would never want to be in a relationship with me, so I never saw him as a potential threat to my singularity.

Unfortunately, he just told me that he really likes me. And would like to take me out on dates, etc. He's already asked me to formal, and I've turned him down. He says he'll ask me to prom in may, but I'll probably say no to that too. He's a nice guy, but, well, here's the thing...

I like one of his best friends. ALOT.

I know, I'm pathetic. But I started liking him before I even knew the other guy liked me. And the guy I like, more unfortunately, probably knows that his friend likes me. Which is horrible. Because you know the rule; bros before hoes. I'm no hoe, but the rule still applies.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've told him I don't like him like that, and that dating a friend would just be too weird. 

Why can't life just be simple? I feel like I'm just spiraling down into this hole that I can't pull myself out of.
