I've been seeing a guy for a couple of months - just casual, but it looks like it's going to get more serious. I like him a lot but there's a problem in the form of his mate. His friend told me he liked me not long ago and has been weird with us if he knows we've been out or have spoken. I made sure that his friend knew what was going on between me and the guy I like and that I didn't like him as anything more than a friend. We've even made sure that he doesn't see us together when we've all been out the past few weeks.
I don't want to hurt his mate..but I'm really started to resent the way I'm having to rethink plans just so things aren't awkward. Like tomorrow for instance..there were lots of us going out and now it's dropped to just me, the guy I like and his mate. Cue the awkward. I'm starting to find that my frinedship with his mate is suffering because it always feels like there's some spare part hanging around when we go out.
I really just don't know what to do anymore..
