Put yourself in this situation:

- You are basically dating this one guy/girl (basically being that their parents said to wait a month or two before dating seriously)
- you have already dropped "the L-Bomb" and meant it (in fact you dropped it first)
- he/she reciprocates this feeling and you know it
- you made this person promise to never leave you and always be there for you and they gladly obliged without hesitation
- everything is dandy to say the least...
*insert wrench here*
- your best opposite-gender friend in teh whole world ever (and friend of person A) tells you they like you.
- this person is just a friend but still you don't want to hurt his/her feelings right? so you say that your parents won't let you really date for a while
- you tell lucky person A that in order to not hurt person 2's feelings, they need to stop flirting with you and all that jazz when there are other people around
- person 1 doesn't like this at all but loves you so accepts
- person 2 keeps pesisting, unaware of person 1 entirely (due to ^)

what do you do? do you risk hurting friend's feelings and tell them the truth? or do you let things ride as they are hoping they will resolve themselves, while unintentionally leading on person 2 and distancing yourself from person 1?
