Yes, my ex and I were friends before we dated.  Actually I was trying to fix him up with a friend of mine.  She had a huge crush on him, but he was not interested in her at all.  He later confessed to me, he had a huge crush on me but was scared to say anything to me.  At first I turned him down when he asked me out, because I felt weird that my friend wanted him and he did not want her.


My goodness, you just described a situation I have been in twice now-- once in high school, once now.  My best friend was absolutely infatuated with one of our friends in high school and about two years after we graduated he told me how much he liked me and wanted to ask me out, but knew she liked him and I would never date him.  And now, I have another friend who I tried to set up with one of my best girlfriends who has all but directly said "I'm in love with you."  He knows I won't date him either, though.
