Is it normal that i'm pushing away a boy i like towards other girls?

I've met this really amazing guy, and for the first time, I can really trust someone and feel comfortable when I'm talking to them.we've became pretty close, and we talk quite often. But, sadly, he likes this other girl a lot, and for some odd reason, I just feel like she deserves him more, even though I know that she has already rejected him. when he come to me for advice, I keep willingly helping him get closer to her and make her like him more..if only he knows beneath all the smiles and encouragements I've been giving him, I'm secretely wishing that I was her. Is this normal? the fact that I'm practically pushing him away to someone else?

Is It Normal?

  • Being selfless is almost a lost art. I really admire you for being able to do it so well. You may not get the guy, but I'm always going to admire you for this.

    • aww.. thank you. :) I guess in a way this is easier, at least now I know for sure that neither of us are terribily unhappy.

  • But ItDuz this is a woman...we first have to stalk him for weeks, write about him on LiveJournal, cry into our pillow at night and then years later tell him about it.

    One of the wisest men who ever lived wrote a 2000 page book on women. It was blank from beginning to end.

  • I often think like that. I once liked this boy in high school A LOT. He was the sweetest, most perfect guy a girl could ever hope to have. But, I believed that I was not good enough for him and that he couldn't possibly be happy with me, so if he were to confide in me that he liked another girl, I would push him to ask her out. I regret doing that now, and I wish I had done things a little differently. What I'm trying to say is, this is totally normal but it's very toxic. Chances are, you'll end up beating yourself up if you don't make a move.

  • If you have guts you tell him that you like him.
    Its best to get it out, it is hard to do and much easier to say. But if you can talk to him normally like a friend then you just have to say it up hes face.

    He is probably going to ignore and avoid you for atleast a week or two. But its not like your going to die. Its just a phase in life you got to deal with your own way.

    If you do this, then you might lose him as a friend but you will gain more confidence when other things occur in your life.

  • It's normal, but a little strange. I used to do this a lot, and still do. Yet, not as much as I did before. But the reason I did it, was because I get this feeling like I want the person I like to be happy. And I alway's think that if it's really meant to be, it will be. Maybe you do it, because deep down inside that's how you feel too? And I used to wonder why I alway's did that as well. I don't know, but us girl's can have a strange way of showing our feeling's.
