I'm missing a person.. whom I loved very much, However, I suppose he wun get to know it....
I met him in school, became gd friends... We chat almost everyday, regardless of anything..I have a bf, he has someone in mind.. just like normal friends, chat about our problems. My bf and I have been together for 2 yrs but we had quite a number of miscommuincations and arguments, therefore sometimes i tend to be rather disheartened about this relationship...
He..my good friend, we started to get very closed no matter in school or when chatting, we started going out, doing things together.. very soon, we fall for each other. I did declared my feelings to him and he too... I didn' know what happen but although i am very happy being with him, I would remind myself that i should be responsible of my actions, cus I have a bf.. I don;t want myself to betray him... however in my heart I understand who I really like... but I have to be responsible... One day, he ask me to choose between my bf and him ... so out of frustration, I asked him to go.....telling him that I am a responsible person... I will not leave my bf just like that. Just imagine if I'm a kind of person that could leave my bf for another guy, i could have done that to him too... I just wish he understand... we never contact every since not even take one single look in school.... I feel miserable... cus I really loved him... In order to attempt to stop missing him, I agreed to engaged with my bf... I have make a mistake I know, hurting my bf and him.. i am a sinner... but it's no way to return... During Valentines', I only can send him a msg, secretly send him a bday gift on his bday without a name.... always dream of him that we were back like how we used to be..... I love him... really... not a crush.....

Many times in life, there we are often given better choices as days passed - morally, what you did is admirable and sensible - just that subconsciously, you have already slipped pass the line - the line that marks 'best friend'.

So you both fell in love - Do you believe me if I were to say its perfectly alright to like each other, yet at the same time not being together? Remaining platonic that is. It's true that you should not leave your boyfriend because of another coming guy - because your present boyfriend is a choice you made - if better guys are coming and you leave, this is a vicious never-ending cycle. You knew this and suppress your attempt to start this cycle.

By the way, trying to be responsible for your choice is not = to love. Your first and deadly mistake came from the engagement - you shouldn't even speak about engagement/marriage since there is this unresolved issue involving this possible potential. To make a hasty and rash decision is to hurt everyone in the end. Especially your present boyfriend, who was kept in the dark from everything.
I must admit one thing - that guy is pretty immature when he asked you to make a choice between him and your bf. I mean, seriously speaking: apart from friendship status, who is he to ask you to make a choice right? Even though the both of you like each other: but the thing is that he KNEW from the beginning that you are already attached. He made the choice to like you - that's his own problem. You too made the choice to love him - its your problem, but you did what you think was right. (apart from the engagement thingy). Then he? By avoiding?

From the avoiding, we can see that right from the start he already had the intention to chase you because when he sees there is an opportunity to get you, he was rejected. If this intention wasn't an intention early in your friendship, even after being reject, he would have opt to remain as friends forever because the both of you knew each other so well - think wanna sacrifice a good friendship over nothing?

Ok enough of analysis; here's Cloud's piece of mind.
Two wrong doesn't make a right - you made the choice, you have to stick with it. Even though you chose to engage with him - you have discuss and improve certain aspects in the relation with your present bf, instead of thinking of an easy way - which is a change of bf. Do your duty as a gf in your relationships and let this little chapter close.

Feelings and liking is one major part in everyone's life. By acknowledging it quickly and know where to draw the line is very important. If he wants to avoid contact, etc - let him be. There is a great risk in trying to chase an attached woman - he took the risk and failed, therefore avoidance is taking place.
As for you: As his avoidance continues, this love will gradually diminish. It won't go off - but at least take the good time to calm your heated passion and irrational sense. The both of you need some period of time to ponder over life's priorities and each personal 'right' thing to do.

Even when friendships returns next time in the future - lay down the ground rules and never attempt to across it.
Phrase of the day: To love someone, isn't always about being together as a couple.

Cheers
