Help! I'm in Love with My Best Friend!

What happens if they don't love you back - will you lose their friendship? Get the answers to these questions and more. (The only answer I don't have is whether or not they like you back. You'll have to find that one out on your own.)

* Your friend is on the rebound and acting vulnerable
* Your friend got a new style and has been looking extra cute lately
* Your friend just started dating someone, and they're spending less time with you
* Someone said that you and your friend would make a cute couple
* You and your friend became close only recently
Then you might just have a temporary crush on your friend. Give it a couple of weeks and see if those feelings disappear on their own. If they do, you'll be relieved that you never said anything.
