He said that my friend was f***ing gorgeous...?

Background information: I really like this guy and we've been friends for about a year but recently we've started to take things to the next level. We've decided not to be together because he's leaving for college in a couple of days (Montana to be exact) and the long distance wouldn't cut it for either of us. Two weeks ago, he came to California as a surprise (from Illinois-he moved after graduation because his father lost his job) and we spent the week together along with our close friends. Well, I introduced him to one of my good friends and everything went well. There was this one instance when we were eating and we were talking about Tiffany (my good friend) and he made a face and blew out a breath and said "Tiffany is..." like he couldn't finish his sentence. I felt a little awkward after he made that comment but I blew it off with a "yeah, she's really pretty" response.

Problem: We were texting the other day and tiffany came up again. I jokingly said "does she know that you have the hots for her?" it was innocent, I wasn't trying to trap him or anything. His response: "Who doesn't? She's f****** gorgeous". Well that really hit a nerve because everyone knows that Tiffany is prettier than me. I guess it just bruised my ego and my self esteem lowered. I stopped texting him and I still am a little angry...am I being childish?

    I wouldn't say childish.. maybe jealous? There's always going to be those friends who are prettier than you or smarter or what not, you have to get over it and be confident with yourself. He soudns like he likes you but I would watch out because long distance leads to heartache almost everytime. So I hope you make the right decision.

    I can see how that would hurt. I would be a little upset too, I don't think that you're being childish though. I think you just really want him to think you're gorgeous too. I think that you shouldn't quit being his friend though; I think you need to continue to text his and stay as just friends. Eventually, you'll probably be over him and the fact he thought your friend was really hot. I think that he does think you're pretty too, but I think he might be too shy to straight up tell you that you're gorgeous. So it might have been easier to say your friend was good looking than to tell you straight up that you are too.

    So, in other words, don't sweat it. (:

    If you want to fix your ego or jealousy text him or call him and ask him what does he think of you? Like seriously he knows he can't be with your friend keep that in mind. Good luck.
