    My two best friends (boy and girl, who have been dating for 2.5 years) and I are all really close, but it’s becoming hard to hang out with them (together or separately) and I’m jealous of them being together because I love her. I disguise my feelings well but I feel I should tell her because its really hard for me to hang out with either of them now and I’ve held it in for so long. On the other hand I really don’t want to ruin anything between us but holding it in makes me miserable whenever I see them. What should I do?

    You can’t have it both ways. 😕 Either you continue on as you are and stay friendly, but harbor misery because you’re jealous and you have feelings for her that aren’t “friend” feelings, or you ask her out on a date, and change the relationship, but risk losing her — and him — or she is delighted that you asked her out on a date and that the relationship is changing, and your male friend is understanding and empathetic and remains friendly with both of you.

    But one thing is for certain, they are both going to figure out your feelings sooner or later, because good friends pick up on these things.

    I never recommend that men and women harbor friendships because someone always likes the other one more. What’s happening to you is very common in friendships between men and women, and it never ends gracefully. My advice is to accept that your feelings of friendship have changed and make a move to ask her out on a date. 😉
