Is my problem more about my own jealousy than anything else?

Question - (20 August 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 21 August 2011)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I really like this girl. And she's a good friend of mine. The problem is she is best friends with another guy. They are way too abnormally close. This concerns me. I have a feeling something will happen between them. She always chooses him to confide in over me. It's like they are inseperable. I have nothing against this guy, but I can't stand the fact that he is the number one guy in his life. My question is, how do I tell her without this being jealous and awkward?

I think i understand where you are coming from, it can be really difficult when someone you like appears to like someone else more! I would definately say that you shouldn't say anything to her about this other guy because she will choose him. If you do end up in a relationship together and it still bothers you, then you should talk to her.

Um, I don't quite understand the question. You're a friend. He is her best friend. If she wants to confide in someone it's perfectly normal and likely she'll do so with him.

Of course it will come out as jealousy, because you ARE jealous!!!!

What is it you want, to be her best friend instead of him or be her boyfriend? If the former, suck it up because it ain't gonna happen. If the latter, then ask her out. If she says no, then move on.

Aunty Susie agony auntIf you are friends and not dating, I don't quite understand. Are you jealous as a friend, or is it that you want to be more than friends? If you want more than friendship, you need to let her know this. If she wishes to date you, then the dynamics with the other boy might change.
