text: If you really like the guy, and feel you a had a connection worth taking further, then you need to go there and talk to him in person - these types of conversations are never well suited to phone-calls or emails.\n\nKeep in mind that a three-way deal such as this can be tricky at times, and Brian probably feels caught in the middle - possibly even feels a little guilty for getting so close to his best mates ex. Just don't feel like it is something wrong with you - these are never easy situations. \n\nThe only thing you can do is talk to him face to face - if your friendship is worth anything to him, he'll open up and talk top you about how he is feeling. If he doesn't then simply chalk it up to experience and move forward.\n\nJust don't let this stop you from being true to yourself or allow it to close over your heart - then you really have lost something precious.\n\n*EDIT* - scandalous my butt! That's just worrying about what other people think - the one thing which usually does more harm than good. Be true to YOURSELF not to what other people think you should be like
