I like my friend's boyfriend


Question Posted Sunday September 4 2005, 11:50 am

So my friend graduated high school last year and she invited me to her graduation party. Her boyfriend was there- who is a year behind her so he's a senior this year- and I almost immmediatley liked him from the start of the party. I feel like a horrible person.

This situation only got worse. He's in my Drama class this year and I'm not sure if I flirted with him or not. We did this thing where we brought in what described who we are (I brought in a blank journal) and when I was done I passed by him, and smiled: but no, it gets worse: *he smiled back.*

I feel horrible and I just don't know what to do. Help!

I think friend ship is more important than a boyfriend because your going to have a lot of boyfriends that are jerks but your only going to have one good best friend. so I would not go to the boyfriend part. And if he starts flirting with you and know he is just say friend ship is more important. Hope I help. And good luck.

This really depends on what you mean by "like". Do you have romantic feelings about your friend's boyfriend, or do you just think he's a great guy and you like being friends?

Liking him as a friend is nothing bad. It's a good thing. You're supporting your friend in her choice of having him as a boyfriend, and you're making a new friend. Smiling at the guy and having him smile back at you is no big deal. Lots of people smile, it doesn't mean they're in love with everyone. Don't feel so guilty.

If you like him romantically or if you think you might be beginning to, now is the time to stop and think. He is just one guy. And he belongs to your friend. Why can't you score another guy? That way you'll find a guy JUST for you, and you won't lose your friendship with anyone. Just think about it. If you had a boyfriend, you wouldn't want some other girl to steal him away would you? That would be painful, not to mention backstabbing if it is your own friend. There are a lot of guys out there. Just because you find one nice guy doesn't mean he has to be your soulmate. There are plenty more.

it is ok to br friends with him. and no your not a horrible person to smile at him. it is ok. i personally i think your friend should date someone out of high school anyways. you should not be afraid to be his friend.

So far there is nothing at all wrong with anything you've done. You are blowing this way out of purportion inside your own head.

Are you not allowed to like and admire someone else's boyfriend? Are guys who are dating someone not allowed to smile at thier female friends.

Give yourself a break. It's really great that you have such loyalty to your friend but it's time to let this go.

Chances are the guy doesn't even realize any of this is going on. So be friendly and casual and forgive yourself. Feelings are fine when you realize that it would be wrong to act on them, and don't.

wait it out. if your friend's at college, the relationship might somehow fall through the cracks. id just get to know him and since he's in a really fun class (i really love drama too) then you guys might have a lot of really fun times together that might show how awesome you are...
just be yourself.
Good luck!
