Oof. I hate it when that happens. It's happened to me quite a bit. It might take a while, but I'll tell you the story. It might help.
I had this huge crush on a guy in my class for months. I knew it would spread insanely, quick, so the only person I told was my best friend, who for right now I'll just call Sara. Anywho, Sara knew and didn't tell, and over time all I could do was think about him. You can tell I was kind of upset when, irony of ironies, he asks HER out, and she agrees. She asked me over and over if I still liked him, and that she could leave him if I really wanted her to. But I would have felt so bad if she did, because it was his choice who he went out with, not mine, and she agreed...so I lied and said it was fine, I was over him. They broke up in a few weeks. good thing, too, 'cause I was crazy jealous, and I'm not a jealous person, which just shows how freakishly obsessive I became. I became friends with him, and we hung out all the time, but no matter how many times I hinted, he always said he wasn't interested, he just wanted to be friends. Sara then told me again that she really liked him, and that she thought she was in love with him. I get ultra freaked out- after all, she had him once. Who's to say she can't have him again? And I compete like crazy.
In the end, I asked him out...twice. And he turned me down both times. And, it took me a while, but I soon realized that if he doesn't want me, he's not worth my time. My advice to you is that, as scary as it may be (and I know it can be heart-stopping, pee-your-pants scary), you need to put it out there. For all you know, he may like you too. And you can either just tell him how you feel, or risk losing him. After all, the worst he can say is no. And I know you're wondering if it will affect your friendship, but it really won't. Just don't be pushy, and it'll all be fine. If he does say no, then he's not worth it. Why would you change yourself or risk a great friend over this? You and your friend will probably fall in love many times in your life, but as boys come and go, true friends won't. If he can't see how beautiful you really are, then your better than him. And I can guarantee that someday he'll look back and feel sorry.

kill your best friend and then there you go. problem solved.

trust me. it works.

I had the same problem last year. me and my friend kk, had a hudge crush on a boy we called drama... all she wanted to do is have s*x with him. we got in a big fight over it. but then my other friend started liking him bre bre, then to make matters worse he asked my closest friend hannah out! she even though she has a boyfriend said yes! well word got around and drama heard about it (I told him) well he wanted to stay with her. she broke it off with him. his jackasses of friends hinted to me that he practicly liked me, and at the end of the year (I asked him out 3 times by that time) gave hannah a note saying that she is the most beautiful girl in the world, she has the prettiest name ever(all of this knowing that I liked him, and knowing that she shows me everything) he said the he will always LOVE her, and it was dstiny for them to be together, (Buddhist) and he will never forget her. he worded it all up to 2 and a half pages. on the last day to make my haannah mad, I went over to her ex boyfriend and hugged him. it kinda backfired and he wouldnt let me go untill the teachers broke it up. I got on the bus and he bent over the seat patted me on the shoulder, smiled, and said 'Sorry about the note...' his smile widened 'I didnt know she would let you see it' I was sooo mad! but I learned if he cant see the beauty inside you, and see who you are, he's not worth it.
