Q: Okay, so I'm engaged.
I have a friend with whom I used to be extremely close. I found out, though, after I started dating this guy, that she'd had a crush on him for quite a while.
Just so there are no misconceptions, I'm going to emphasize that I didn't know she liked him before I started dating him. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone out with him.
I was talking to my fiance - he's friends with her too. From what he told me, I think she still likes him. She doesn't know we're engaged. He started to tell her on line, but she signed off before he could and hasn't spoken to him since.
She's going to find out at some point, but I'd like to tell her in a way that won't...hurt her too much, I suppose.
Is there a way to tell her without going "oh by the way we're engaged" so heartlessly?
The thing is, I could say that, but she'd never admit to me that she still has feelings for him because she wouldn't want me to feel bad.
Any suggestions?
Please, no smartass remarks. I'll just rate you down.
Thanks in advance :)
I think you should tell your friend before she finds out off someone eles. It would Be much worse if she herd it of someone eles. you should talk to your firend about how you love your fiance but let her know that you care about her feelings and you don't want this to effect your friendship. If she is a true friend she will be happy for you. In time your friend will hopefully lose the feelings she had for him.

Best of luck and congratulations on your engagement.

Thanks :)
