Why can't my BF be more romantic--like my BGF?


 

Check these out, too...

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
  • Saved the best for last day
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
One of my close guy friends is going out with my BFF. I like this guy a lot as a friend but, I admit, I am jealous of their relationship. They are going to a movie next week, and they already went out to dinner once. I have a boyfriend, but we never go on dates. I am worried I’m losing two great friends.

 

Dear Worried,

A little jealousy is perfectly natural. But a lot of jealousy can poison friendships. Take a deep breath, and try to be happy for them. And since you and your boyfriend don’t go out enough, why not suggest a double date? If you feel you need some one-on-one time with any of them, it’s OK to confess your feelings. But next time you get hung up about any of this, remember that time might change this relationship anyway. So do your best to stay friends with everyone.

MODMODMOD (:My BGF is like my brother, and I'm dating his friend (also my friend). My BGF really cares about
me, and when he says hi to me he'll squeeze my hand or put his arm around me. He's dating my girl friend, and I know for sure he doesn't like me. Do you think
his affection makes my boyfriend uncomfortable ? Thank you Smile

 

There is no way of really knowing unless you ask your boyfriend yourself. Also, if he hasn't said anything and doesn't look upset, most likely he understands that you guys are just friends.

MOD MOD! ok, this is something I really need help with, so any advice is great. I moved here 5 months ago. I don't have very much friends, my closest friend here is a guy. we talk 24/7 and are pretty much inseperable. I love him. in every sense of the way. I love him like a best friend, I love him like a brother,and I love love him, like, in that way. he flirts with me all the time and EVERYBODY is always telling us to stop flirting. we can't look at eachother without smiling ear to ear. and I know for a fact that the feeling is mutual. I even have half the school telling us so. seriously. I tell him everthing, he tells me everthing. the thing is is when I first got here I asked him out. but for some reason he said no. and I've tried to talk myself out of liking him but its impossible. I even got advice from mod! it doesn't work!so my question is: what should I do from here on? do I ask him out again? do I aimlessly flirt? I just don't know wat the best thing is to do. thnksforhelp

Hey girlie,

You could ask him out again, or maybe since you're so close, you could ask him why he said no to you before. Even if he likes you, he might not be ready for a relationship right now or want to focus on school. Talking to him will give you a better sense of what you should do and will answer a lot of your questions!

Maybe we can get their attention by making slight suggestions or hints about being romantic or what we like and want to do. Instead of mentioning about being with friends, maybe make suggestions about being alone with each other. Does anyone think that some guys ever get resentful about our hints?

hey! You have to either tell her to stop repeating what you're saying to her, or stop telling her things you don't want repeated. good luck, girl!
