I’d talk it through with both the best friend and the person, and see where that leads. Worst case scenario you grow closer to them through your vulnerability, and if it doesn’t work out, you open up the space to find someone new!

I want an Australian boyfriend so badly

I want korean boyfriend But I can't find it. 🥺

Maybe have a chat with your best friend and see how they feel about your crush? Talk about it together. At the end of the day, it would be a shame to step away from a situation which might be good for you.
