AITA for how I feel about this taken middle school boy?

Okay, For context, I(F) and this boy(M) we have never really got along and I didn’t like him until October 30th. They got together on my birthday and his girlfriend and I didn’t become friends until like almost 2 weeks later.

Currently, It’s a snow day at school so I haven’t seen him but the last time we spoke was Friday and we just talked like normal humans, about what he was doing because he was on his school computer(needed for the snow day) after getting trouble. I know this post is kinda boring but I am really confused and I feel horrible for acting this way towards my friend’s boyfriend.

About their relationship, it’s awkward and cute at times. I personally don’t really care for it but maybe that’s because I still like him even after trying to get over him. Usually if I like someone and I find out that they are dating someone I automatically stop liking them as a respectful thing but, for some reason I can’t do that with him.

I still really like him, I don’t want to but I do, like way too much than I probably should. If he or she read this, they would probably either hate or be disgusted with me. I just want to end this off with sharing that I mean absolutely no harm towards them. I respect them as people. I will update y’all and post more things about different situations today or any day I want.

  1. You are NTA for having a crush on someone that is taken. You would be an ah of you acted on it – which you are not.
    It’s hard, i know, but you just gotta accept that this will feel weird for a few weeks and I’m sure by then you were able to move on.

  2. From someone who was in the same boat as you 20 plus years ago, in a short amount of time you’ll think about this and laugh and wonder why you felt like this.

    Long as you dont act upon it, you’re just a normal person with normal feelings.

  3. Having a crush on taken people is totally normal. Listen to sad music, and process

    The inside of your head is not a shared space. You’re allowed to feel however you feel about this as long as you aren’t doing things to make them uncomfortable…which it sounds like you aren’t

    You’re fine, this is a totally normal experience that a lot of people have.

    NTA
