ok so basicallyi fell inlove with this guy Aaron. he's simply amazing and really sweet and wow. we have stuff in common but yet wen have so manythings that r nothing alike. and it draws me into him. he's always there wen i need someone to listen and he's there for me even until 5 a.m cause i'm afraid to sleep. he's there for me even wen i'm being stupid and ergagful. my favorite time for him ta b there is wen we're both just actin retarded with eachother. but theres a few problems. 1. i've never met him in person or even seen a pic of wat he looks like. 2. he's one of my ex's best friends. 3. i still have some small feelings left for that ex. and lastly...i'm afraid if that ex found out he would probably feel hurt. he seems to still care a lot about me and potentionaly still love me and is now realizing his mistake of letting me go and dating someother chick less then 24 hours later. i don't like hurting ppl. if i could i would make everyone happy. but i'm not sure if i can take the pain it causes to act upon my love for aaron cause of it hurting the other guy. but at the same time...i'm not ganna live in the past and want to act so much on my feelings for aaron.

the question is..how do i act upon those feelings without hurting anyone?
