The_Invisible_Man

Well to clarify, we've known each other for four years but we were just friends until the start of last summer when she and i became closer and closer to each other. She was not with this guy when i began to like her so i don't think its the forbidden fruit concept of wanting something that i cant have. I think the best option is to abstain from telling her and just waiting it out.

I am best friends with this girl. I have known her for approximately four years and have liked her starting about two months ago. She liked me too, but i didn't know so i never made a move on her because i didn't think she would accept any advances i would make (i've got a lot of issues like anorexia and depression from being abused as a child and my parents divorce and some other things that have gone on in my almost 17 years of existence). Well anyway back to the story, i really like her, she really liked me and wanted me to kiss her, ask her out etc but i never did even though i had ample opportunities to do so because i was unsure of whether she liked me or not. So now she has a boyfriend and she and i are growing further apart because of him and i'm really bummed out about that because she and i were so close for so long and now shes being ripped away from me by this guy who i don't particularly like for various reasons, not just because hes going out with my best friend and girl i like. Anyway i'm wondering what yall would do in my situation. I dont think im going to tell her how i feel and instead just wait it out but that would drive me up the freakin wall. So what should i do? PS. for anybody out there who says "the friend zone in impenetrable;" you need to have faith and stop being so pessimistic.
