There could be a few reasons why you feel that way.

#1. Maybe you like him and you just don't know it. Sometimes when you like someone it's not obvious right away. Girls tend to take guy friends for granted, and sometimes it takes a wakeup call - like him flirting with your friend, for example, or him showing attention to someone else - for us to realize that we have feelings for them that are stronger than an ordinary friendship.

#2. Maybe you're scared that if he and your friend get together, you'll be left out. You might be afraid that the closer they get, the further apart you'll be from both of them. That is a tricky situation, and it would be perfectly normal to wonder what role you'll play in their lives once they're together. Nobody wants to be the third wheel and nobody wants to lose their friends.

#3. Maybe you're jealous because you want love too. Not necessarily his love, but a love of your own. Maybe the way he treats her or what he says to her are things you want from a guy. If this is the case, it's perfectly normal to feel jealous. Everyone wants love, and no matter how happy you are for your friends, deep down, it's difficult to be happy for them if you're feeling lonely.

#4. Maybe you're jealous because you're into her. That might sound strange, but it's certainly a possibility. Many girls discover they're bisexual or lesbian when boys come into the picture and start flirting with their friends. Before boys come along, it would be easy to confuse romantic feelings for platonic friendship. Again, sometimes it takes a wakeup call to realize your true feelings.

Hopefully these suggestions help to bring you peace.

Maybe your not jealous because you like this guy.. perhaps your jealous because you want something like that too?!?

Perhaps you want the same attention from a guy that this guy is giving your friend!!

It's normal to feel jealous over something like this but your friend could possibly like the attention. Don't ruin it for her by being jealous, go find your own fun with a guy ;)

Hope I helped :)
