In love with my best friend's boyfriend

So, a few months ago I fell pretty hard for a guy. I knew that he and my friend liked each other, but they weren't going anywhere as far as a relationship was concerned, and I didn't feel bad for letting myself like him. However, back in February they started dating, and my feelings never went away. In fact, I'd wager to say they are even stronger than ever.

I like him a lot, but I don't necessarily want him for my own, because they're a great couple. It's a bittersweet feeling. I'm happy for them, but sad for myself. Is it normal to both want your best friend's boyfriend for yourself but also want her to keep him?

    I just went to a friend's birthday party, and her boyfriend, who I like, was there. I felt really sad because I liked him but extremely happy because he's simply perfect for her. Yes, very normal.

    happened to me many times before but for me it never worked out with the guys for various different reasons.
    If you don't look for love or that special person to be in your life, he will come along when you least expect it. It happened to me, he came into my life when I least expected it, and was not looking for it.

    Yes, under the circumstances. Stay on the high road.

    Definately normal. As Sleek says, it could just be that you want a relationshoip like theirs, but if it isn't you seem like a really lovely and mature person for realising that they make a good couple and you'll just have to grieve for a bit.
