I have a bestfriend and a boyfriend in one, but he had a "girl" that time, I told him to end our relationship since he's attached with another girl. I tried my best to avoid him but lately ive been missing him and "us" im confused. Am i just missing what we had because i craved for attention? What should i do? Did he like me or was it just a "guy" thing? HELP! i think ive fallen for him.

Well I feel it is very normal to fall in for the best friend as you have lots and lots of understanding, for you it is better to keep your fingers crossed and hope that he also starts missing you as you do. One can hope for the best.

I think falling in love with a best friend makes perfect sense. Falling in love with a stranger is ridiculous to the max in my opinion. So I don't agree with you should not have a relationship with your best friend.
OK got that off my chest....
Alright, to your question, your emotions are yours. I wish I could tell you why you feel what you are feeling for this person, but honestly I can't. There could be many of reasons you miss him.
You don't want "her" to have him.
You, like you said, miss the attention you received from him.
You miss the thrill of it.
You are lonely
You fell for him
The reasons go on and on. But the reasons are not important. What is important is you did the right thing. If he could not be focused on you and you alone, it was best to nip the relationship there in order to save the friendship. Now you just have to focus on going on with your life, not letting this hold you back or slow you down. Sure it hurts, sounds like a heart ache to me, but if you want to continue to saving the friendship, don't let this drag you down.
I found moving on with your life as if it was no big deal does wonders.
I fell for my best friend when I was 19, I had known him since he was 11. Sadly he didn't feel that way for me, he felt like I was a sister. The real reason was, he had the hots for some string bean that was popular. So it hurt, but I said OK. I went on. Seven years later, he came around to falling for me. We have been married for almost 11 years now.
The key was not letting my heartache screw up our friendship.
Hope something in this has helped and I am sorry you are going through this. Just hang in there.

well firstly i would say tat going around with your best friend is not at all a good idea. i was with my best friend fro one year. we were madly in love but its broke on a bad not and i lost my love as well as a friend in him. i would realy suggest you to just concentrate on him as your good or best friend. that would be my advice. take care.

yeah, i think it's not a good idea to turn your best friend into bf. Maybe it's just the novelty of the change of relationship. Besides, he is still attached to another girl and it will surely cause pain and harm to his date. To judge if he is falling for you is quite simple as he should firstly end up with his current date if he is in love as you.
Take care:)

Well the best thing would be is to talk to him. Dont tell him that you like him. you could end up losing him. Check how his other relationship is going? Find out for sure if he likes you or not. Its a complicated situation. so be careful. If his other relationship is a casual one then I suggest you step things up coz you seems to be a lot more serious. The most important thing to remember is that you care for him and his happiness. Keep this in mind whatever you do. I wish you all the best
