Hi guys, I hope somebody can help me with a small problem, its short and simple really but the solution is more difficult.

I have recently met a beautiful man, who I have started to like, not a lot but want to just keep hanging out etc and see what happens.

My problem is that this guy's friend is one of my best friends, and every time I plan to meet this guy or vise versa, this friend always tags along...then he ends up asking his friend and eventually its a gathering, not what i initially wanted which was just us two now and again.

I don't know what to do about this or what to say exactly to my friend without upsetting him.

This guy and I are supposed to go for pizza tomorrow, but no doubt my friend is going to be tagging a long.

Background if it helps a bit: My best friend is a guy, its got nothing to do with him liking me and is trying to stop us growing something as he was the one who introduced us.

Thanks

xx

oldbag agony auntHi

Does the new guy know your attracted to him,want to get to know him on that level?

Could be they both think of you as just a mate at the moment. Try asking new man out,buy 2 tickets for something and ask just him along.

Or simply tell your best friend you need alone time with this new man and why.

person12345 agony auntAsk the new guy on a date. If you are having trouble being that bold, just be up front with your best friend that you want to try going alone with him.

if you are mentioning to him that you are the new guy are hanging out stop mentioning it till after the fact,

if the new guy is inviting the other friend... ask the new guy if it could be just you two so you can get to know each other.
