Is it normal for my friend to be so upset over this?
My best friend is easily one of the World's biggest sweethearts. He's always putting everyone else before him and doing things for others and when he gets feelings, he pursues them relentlessly. He loves somebody HARD (and no, not like THAT lol), to the point where its damn near insanity and never gives it up. He recently reconnected with an elementary school best friend and wanted to introduce him to his friends, me included. Theres this girl that he likes a lot, Rachel (I'm gonna change the name) and the minute that she and his friend saw each other, it was like there was never anybody else. Those two are crazy about each other, and its seriously eating him up. He doesn't sleep at night, hardly eats, and when he looks at you, its like he's looking straight through you. His friend, being the nice guy that he is, knows about his feelings, so he says he's going to back off. But of course the attraction is still there between those two. My friend told me that its getting to the point now where he's the third wheel and he's the one who introduced them! Its really taking a toll on him and he really cares about this girl...maybe a little bit too much? I know, its a confusing situation, but please, try to help if you can.
