AITA

So I like this boy at the beginning of the year my friend put me on with him and we were talking but it didn't go anywhere since we were both shy but now idk what to think probably like a month ago I overheard her telling our friend she was developing feelings for him she knows I still like him fast forward to now and yesterday she was sitting in his lap and just being really close I didn't know how to feel since me and him don't talk a lot but...idk she HAS known him for years but...it makes me feel bad I don't wanna talk to her about it I'm not very confrontational so am I the ******* for feeling how I feel and it doesn't help that my confidence is already low and I think she is more pretty than me.
Why would you need to be 'confrontational'? This situation isn't just about your friend. You haven't done much to get with this boy, he hasn't done much to get with you, your friend has and it's worked out for the moment. He has a choice in this as well, and so did you.

I know this also it's just the closeness that bothers me but I don't say anything because at the end of the day she has been his friend for so long but sitting on his lap in front of me when she knows I like him feels a bit weird to me and at this point it's not really about the boy it's more just about that she is my friend sitting on my crushes lap it's a respect thing too me

Also I'm not entitled to him and I wouldn't mind if she dated him but again it feels weird and backhanded she should just talk to me and if she wants to date him I'm not saying ask me for permission but dang just let me know where your head is at so I can fully move on and let you do you without any hard feelings

Move on from what? You talked to a guy, he talked to you, neither of you asked the other to go on a date. End of. Anyway, you know your friend likes him, so why do you think she has to say anything to you; what about the other way round? Did the guy look unhappy or try to push her away? If not, there's your answer on how he feels, but you aren't complaining about his behaviour.

I can understand why you’re upset but if you aren’t making a move on him or he’s not reciprocating towards you then I think you should probably move on. I understand that she knows you like him but she doesn’t have to put her feelings on hold just because you like someone and you’re not pursuing him. Again I do understand your frustration but yh
