In love with my guy friend but I hate him at the same time..

Basically, I've known this guy for a long time and we're in upper sixth form. We consider each other to be really good mates. The thing is I'm besotted by him, he's everything I want in a guy but I know he doesn't feel the same way.
He recieves a lot of attention from girls and it makes me feel threatened. I feel as if he likes those girls much more than he likes me even though he's only known them for a few months. Lately, in order to stop feeling this way I've deliberately avoided the places he spends his free time in. However, when he does see me he always makes an effort to talk to me or if I walk past him I can see him staring at me.
What shall I do? I need some advice to help stop feeling this way...

I can't. It will totally destroy the friendship and make things awkward-I know that for a fact. I just need advice on whether I should maintain a close friendship with him despite it killing me or shall I just avoid him and keep it hi/bye? I'm so confused

I was in this situation with a girl. It developed into an obsession and although it was torture I cut off permanently and completely. It's the only way especially if they hurt you deliberately. You have to have self-control for it to work but after a while it does. Keel busy with friends and hobbies etc.

Loool never friends with benefits. And I have mixed emotions. I would feel sad to throw our friendship away but then relief too because I hate the way I feel and whenever he's around other girls I get really jealous and start acting bitchy- which is totally not my character

If it's bothering you that much, which it clearly is - tell him how you feel. You can't go on avoiding the places he frequents forever. He probably has no clue you feel like that and of course he'll make an effort to talk to you - you've said he considers you to be a good friend!

I think he can probably tell I fancy him but he hasn't said anything so its not awkward between us. I just want to stop feeling this way..its horrible

When I was in such a situation I started avoiding the guy. It helped me get over my feelings, but I did lose a great friend. So, while I think that the pain has helped me grow a bit, I sometimes regret my decision. The best advice would be to get over your feelings for him while still being friends, but how is that possible I don't know lol. Just seeing the person you like makes you like them even more. I have mixed opinions on confessing

Talk to him about it? You're both good friends so be open and honest. If you really are good friends it shouldn't ruin your friendship and he may feel the same. It has to be better than bottling it up and worrying about it, surely?

Yh I really don't want to become one of them obsessed types but he's all I think about ....how did you go about cutting off contact? I want to cut off contact without coming across as a bitch.
