I can't stop flirting with my best friend out of desperation. I'm not even that into him... I think.
Why do you think that you flirt with him?
I do know that it is kind of sick to put your best friend on your toes like that. I made up my mind long ago that I would no longer flirt with him. I think I do it because I feel so inadequate in my own life right now.
I see what you mean, but you're right. You shouldn't lead your friend on with your flirting. He is probably very unsure about your relationship.
You're probably right but it's nice to be adored by someone.
You should also keep in mind the long friendship and the value that you have in that.    Losing both because of your action could make you feel worse than you do now.
