How do I stop being so childish now my best guy friend has got a girlfriend?

Question - (29 November 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 29 November 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

OK, so it's sounds pretty trivial, but i've been having a complex about it.

Basically, i've had a crush on my best guy friend,for as long as i can remember. I wasn't that fussed about dating him to be honest because he'd always assured me that i was really the number one girl in his life. I never, thought it an issue, until lately since he's gotten a girfriend.

I thought at first i was just insecure about not being this "number 1" blah blah blah best friend, but once i thought about it I think I've liked him from the beginning. Of course, I don't expect to be the "relationship-wrecker" his girlfriend is lovely I'm not about to ruin things. But how do I stop being so i don't know... childish? every time he mentions her i seem to involunatarily shut down (so he says) i don't want things to change. x

I'd recommend getting to know her. Have some 1 on 1 girl time. And then you can think of it less as losing him to her, and more as gaining another friend.

I get the impression you feel rejected after another girl came into his life.

It's easier than it sounds, but you simply have to be more open-minded & positive about the situation, accept it and move on.
