Answer 1

Maybe you want him because someone else has him. You'll feel that way about a lot of people.

Answer 2

I was in a boat similar to yours in high school. I met him in one of my classes and he was my absolute best friend from the start. We talked about everything. He developed a huge crush on me and at the same time I wasn't really wanting to date anyone. I pushed him to date this girl I knew liked him and soon after they were dating... And I started to have feelings for him... it developed into a huge crush... He would always say he liked me back but he didn't want to break up with his girlfriend and date me and have all this drama.... He would tell me how much he liked me but to just be patient... I spent a good year of my life waiting for him to come around and finally break up with her. He never did.

My advice as someone who has been there? Move on. It hurts I know, and it will for a bit, but you won't feel better at the end of the day hurting an innocent girl to get a boy who strings you along... Well that is if he returns the feelings... And if he doesn't you do need to move on.  

You will be okay, you will meet someone amazing who will love you the way you deserve to be loved one day. Trust me, 4 years later and I am engaged to the love of my life and about to have a beautiful child.

One day you will realize this boy wasn't worth the time and heartache and you will find your true love.
