(You know you're the first one I'd come to if I needed it.)
[ He loves you Damon - and also Damon is one of his best friends. Assuming it doesn't involve Damon himself, there's no one he'd rather turn to about his ridiculous love life than him.
Of course he's on Damon's side. Sam's just about always on Damon's side - and he's pretty sure the fact that Damon actually expected him to be is a pretty damn good sign. It means that Damon's starting to believe that Sam means what he says when tells him that he's not going anywhere.
He stays quiet as he listens to what Damon has to say - and it'd be easy to say that maybe Elena should get to decide whose girl she is, or that Stefan made his own choices and Damon's not responsible for them. But he gets the feeling that Damon knows that, somewhere in there, and none of that is the point.
The point is that he doesn't think he should want Elena when Stefan wants her, and that he doesn't think Elena could ever want him if she had Stefan there with her. ]
(I know what it feels like to care about you, Damon, and I know what I've gotten from her. The way she feels about you - it's not just because the one she really wants isn't here.)
