Question Posted Monday June 27 2005, 9:02 pm

I'm 15/f and I've had a boyfriend for about a week who has been my best friend for a while. My problem is that he's been trying too hard to become close with my friends. I know that sounds stupid, but I just don't want his relationship with them to be as close as his relationship with me. I like that he's a separate part of my life than my friends are and I really just want it to stay that way. I'm just used to my friends stealing my close friendships away and I don't want that to happen with him. Am I being too paranoid? How exactly do I tell him how I feel?

I don't think you're being that paranoid but maybe just a little. He is your boyfriend so obviously he likes YOU, if he's going out with YOU. Myabe he just knows how much your friends mean to you and want to be friends with them to. But say exactly what you just said. That you like that he's a serpeate part of your life. If he likes, he'll listen!


Good luck and if you need help with anything else please feel free to come to me anytime.
I hope I helped you!

if this is really bothering you, doing something is always better than doing nothing, the best way to deal with it is to be honest and direct. mention to your boyfriend that it bothers you but try being as nice as possible about it because i'm sure he was trying so hard because he wants to impress you. to show you how great of a guy he is by getting to know your friends.

however, this probably isn't as big as you think it is and you've only been going out for a week. so maybe just try only seeing him without your friends for a little while

i understand how you feel. you dont want him to be as close with them as he is with you. first, let me just say, usually these "best friend" relationships dont usually work, so good luck. but as far as not wanting him to be so close with them, theres nothing you can do exceot for bring yourself closer to him than they can ever be. there isnt a way you can tell him not to be close with them without sounding like an asshole.
good luck,

He is probably just trying to impress your friends cause he thinks you want him too, so just tell him you don't need him to be super close with your friends and you rather that you and him just focus on being close to eachother. He'll probably be flatered and relieved.
