How did you feel, when you got into your first relationship? Options

Actually, its a story about mine. My crush, who likes me back, asked me to be his girlfriend on Leap Day. He's really shy and so he talks more online than in person. That's even how he asked me. In a sense, I'm happy but I also have mixed feelings about that... Is it really a relationship if he can't talk to me (due to embarrassment) in real life as much as online? I also have another problem. I'm really really close friends with this other guy S. He's my closest guy friend and he's the person I'm most comfortable with. We're irreplaceable to each other. But our feelings are not romantic. Yet I felt guilty when I told him that J and I got together, and he was confused and saddend at my controversial actions (I don't believe that high school relationships are the ones that go on forever... but I think it's a life experience. Yet, I just got with a guy.)... to the point of crying...
What's the meaning of all this and what should I do?

I'm still in my first relationship, two years on. I was a late starter to the world of dating because of my cynicism of highschool romances.

Being best friends with a guy and either one of you having absolutely no romantic attachment to the other is, I think, very hard to maintain. By dating this other guy, it's understandable that S, after so much time spent together, would feel as though he were coming in second place.
