Hope you enjoy this one – let me know what you think!

Dear Amy,
Okay, you were right. I am in love with my friend. But here's the problem – I think she's in love with (or at least seriously infatuated with) that jerk I told you about before – the one I thought was leading her on. Well, I guess he's not, and they are either together, or this close to getting together.
I don't know what to do. It kills me to see them together, but if he makes her happy, I don't want to ruin it by interfering. But I can't just let them be, either – I'm so used to protecting her that I can't just detach myself like that. I still think he's not right for her, and that's not just jealousy talking. I honestly think this guy isn't what he seems to be, and that he has some ulterior motive.
What should I do? And this may seem like a bit of a weird question, but I'd also be really interested to know what you'd advise the girl I love to do.

Dear Torn,
Let me answer your 'weird' question first: I would advise this girl to stop being an idiot and open her eyes to the great guy who's there right under her nose. I'm serious – I'm not just saying that; I think I'm a little in love with you myself after reading your letter. :)
As to what you should do – it seems as though you still have some uncertainty about the status of their relationship. Maybe they aren't together yet, or maybe their flirtation didn't really mean anything. In any case, don't give up hope. Before you do anything drastic, bide your time and see what develops.
But... I must stress this: DO NOT under any circumstances approach her with your suspicions until you have some concrete proof. Your gut instinct is not going to cut it, especially if you tell her you love her; that doesn't exactly make you an impartial observer when it comes to the guy you think she likes.
I hope everything works out for you. Let me know if it does, and if all goes well, pretty please can you tell me who you are? I promise I won't publish it – I'm just curious.
Amy
