Hi Pet, Bigmamma, and everyone else (who's probably fast asleep now),
Somebody deleted me and another person on here. I think the person who is doing the deleting (I think we all know who it is) is just having a clear out. I haven't taken it personally and I will still continue to contribute to their threads like I do every now and again.
Max, I've been in similar situations to you. Many years ago I was friends with a guy I really fancied. I was too scared to mention that I wanted something more than just a friendship and I thought that he felt the same way. Anyway, another girl came on the scene who we became friends with and a few months later they started hanging out together alone. This made me feel sick and I couldn't deal with it. My other friends knew how I felt so they got me to go out with them instead and meet new people. I did so and after about a week I started to feel better. As soon as this guy saw that I was hanging out with other friends he got jealous and wanted to hang around with me again.
Basically, just take a back seat and don't contact him. He will then realise what he is losing if he is that much of a friend to you. Maybe that will jog him into action as well.
Good luck hun xxx
