A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Ok this is a bit of a complicated story which I really could do with advice on. About 2 weeks ago I broke up with the guy I had been seeing for a month - who we shall call Harry. We'd been very good friends before hand but the relationship just didn't work. Although this wasn't the reason for the break up, through out the relationship, Harrys best friend - who we shall call Edward kept trying to break us up. Edward is also a good friend of mine and I have known both men for quite some time. At first Edward was just doing small things to try and split us up - never leaving us alone, sending us funny messages, and then it got a bit more serious like he'd text me and tell me not to be with Harry. It always seemed a bit bizarre and in the back of my head, I had suspicions that perhap Edward had feelings for me, but ignored them. As I said, Harry and I didn't work out. He ended up using me for sex and it wasn't very nice. I am very heartbroken - not that I was in love, but because I expected more from someone who has been my friend for so long. What I need help with is Edward. Ever since the break up, it's as if he has begun activng very oddly towards me - he's been phoning a lot to see if I'm ok, leaving my nice voicemails, asking if I want to meet up for coffee to talk etc. On one hand I think he may just be being the good friend he has always been and even though it is his best friend who has really hurt me and upset me, he is sticking by me to help me through it. But, it's always in the back of my head that he kept trying ot break us up and I am concerned this may be because he had, and possibly still does, have feelings for me.

The other day, Edward and I ended up on our own. Everyone else had gone to the bar or the toilets and we were just left sitting outside. He was asking how i was coping, was I ok etc, and asked if I needed a hug. So i said yes thinking it would be no different to any other hug he's gven me. But it was. It was very intimate, very tight and his arms completely surrounded me. His hands were very nearly on my breasts (he hugged me from behind) and his mouth was on my neck. It lasted for ages and has left me really questioning what is really going on with him in regards to how he feels about me.

Anyone got any idea? Am I just over thinking this all because Im upset and hurt, or do you think this could be the reason he tried to split us up, because he likes me?

pepper27 agony auntHi Hunny

Well it really does sound like he like you from what you have said, What you need to think about is were will this go...If he really cared for you and your happiness he maybe would not have done all the stuff he did to his best friend as that isnt really how a best mate should act. But saying that it could be that he new what his friends intentions were and was concerned for you and didnt quite know how else to act..As you are also a friend..You have been hurt by one friend love so just be very carefull and see how things go..Thats if you are interested hun TAKE CARE WITH LOVE MANDY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
