I have a boyfriend, but I'm falling for my best friend
Question Posted Thursday November 9 2006, 10:22 pm
What do you do when you have a boyfriend who you love and you have been goign out for 5 1/2 months but you statrt to fall for your best friend and your best friend likes you?
I think I'm starting to fall for my best friend who I am always with and I know I flirt with him. He likes me too but the problem is I have a boyfriend. I feel like each of them has one of my arms and they are both tugging away and I can't decide whos hand I want to let go of because I don't want them to fall.
What Should I Do?

Your going out with you boyfriend now but on the other hand, you like your best friend. Well, it really does depend. I mean does your boyfriend treat you as good as your best friend does? If your constantly flirting with another boy thats like kinda being dis-loyal to your boyfriend and why would you wanna do that to him. It like your making him waste HIS time on a girl who is flirting with other boys. && thats not really right..Also, if you let your boyfriend find out on his own that your flirting and stuff with other guys, then its worse then just breaking up with him.
BUT, if you break up with your boyfriend for your bestfriend, what will your bestfriend think? Like if you break up with your boyfriend for another boy, what will that person think because if you broke up with your boyfriend for another guy, then what makes him think you would do it to him..? Also, lets say you go out with your friend (because lets say you dumped your bf) and then you guys break up. it might ruin your friendship.
Theres postative and negative reasons for both.. but if your constantly flirting with your friend and you like him..then i say you probably shouuld go out with your him... it really depends on what you think is right to do...
