Hey there, /relationships. I'm 16 and have been dating my girlfriend for the past 3 months and have become distraught lately.

A year ago, I was in love with my best friend. I can see many of you rolling your eyes at the thought of a 15-year-old being in love but feel free to click away at any point. She and I were perfect together, she was the most down-to-earth person I knew and we told each other everything.

Her parents were adamant about not letting her date at this age, which was a major roadblock for us, as she really liked me, too. I ended up waiting two years for her in hopes that things would change and her parents would loosen up with no luck.

A couple months before I began dating my current girlfriend, I was extremely upset. I'd waited so long, passed up so many opportunities, and after all of those late nights crying, I finally gave up. I never told my best friend that I was going to stop waiting for her, she found out through a Facebook relationship status update.

I heard through mutual friends that she was very upset and wished I had talked to her. My reasoning for not telling her ahead of time is that if I talked to her about it, I never would have moved on from this girl, the feelings were just too strong.

To this day, she and I haven't talked. Lately I've been thinking about talking to her about it, but I have a feeling that if I do, the feelings will re-surface.

My current girlfriend and I are happy together, but the feelings aren't as strong on my end as they are on hers. She isn't as down-to-earth, and I've refrained from telling her things about me that my old best friend knew like the back of her hand.

I just really want to know whether I should get tangled in the mess of my old best friend again, putting my relationship on the line or if I should just focus on my current girlfriend and leave my old best friend in the dust with burned bridges behind us.
<bot>: I still have feelings for my old best friend even though she and I stopped talking after I gave up on the hope that we may one day date, even though I have a girlfriend now.
