So my best friend (1) and my other friend (2) will be leaving tomorrow to Bali, and I know I’ll miss them heaps.
Today is the 22nd of September and they’ll be coming back on the 4th of October just in time for my birthday.
friend (2) has a crush on me and wants to date me but I don’t see myself dating him. He’s just not my type.
Best friend (1) likes my friend Jess and she likes him back but he told me today that he likes someone else and doesn’t want to date her.
Best friend (1) started sending me kisses more frequently, making me think that maybe I’m that person he likes.
I sort of like him too, but I don’t want him to suffer from my problems that come with me.
Maybe I should shut them out, like I do to everyone now.
But I know I’ll seriously miss them.
I’m afraid to reject friend (2) because he’s very sensitive and I don’t want to lose our friendship.
What should I do? I think I’m overthinking this. :\

I think you have to reject friend 2. Not rejecting him when you don’t feel the same way would only cause more, much worse problems long term. Hopefully if you let him know how much you care about him and give him time/space to get over it, it’ll be something you can both get past relatively quickly. Usually if a crush isn’t reciprocated it’ll fade over time. I wouldn’t worry too much. If he values your friendship too, he won’t want to lose it either. 🙂
If you like your other friend and he turns out to like you too, maybe you should go for it. It might be complicated if it upsets Jess though.
Don’t shut everyone out. Friends (and more than friends) are precious. Just do the best you can not to upset anyone, but follow your heart. Sometimes you have to let people down – it’s better for you and them too.
