I like my friend's "boyfriend" !

My friend at college has a girlfriend and I know know know he likes me - and as soon as she sees me walk into the canteen, she's all over him.

She's my friend as well but it really annoys me that I like her boyfriend. I'm not big headed but they just don't go together - they don't even talk, she just sits on his lap like a dummy. :eek:

I think he thinks I'm too good for him but I want to try and let him know that I'm not and we're perfect for each other. How shall I do this??!!!

You sound deluded.

You don't like your friend's "boyfriend", you like your "friend"'s boyfriend.

(In case that was too subtle: back off. She's the one going out with him. You're just being a bitch by trying to split them up.)

If this is what you do to your friends i'd hate to see what you'd do to an enemy.

It's simple really. Either you want to be the girl's friend, or you want to steal her boyfriend. You can't do both, so you have to decide which one you want more.

Hehe, akward as anything I would think. Depends how good mates you are with ur girl-friend.... would you be able to tell her? Probably not. So leave it well alone.

I'm seriously not but I don't know how to prove it! He's a bit of a player and he's made what he's thinking crystal clear.

Friends come and go. Epic relationship breakups and even more epic sex lasts is remembered forever.

Seriously? Be machiavellian. There aint no other way about it. Learn to manipulate people.

If he wanted to date you, he would be dating you. At the very least, he wouldn't be dating anyone else.

There should be inverted commas around both words - she's not a good friend and she's the one who jealous when he spends most time with me. But at the same time I don't want to hurt her and lose a friend.

Lol, "he's a bit of a player" why the hell are you even interested. "He's made what he's thinking crystal clear" so he's pretty much already cheating on your friend in your eyes. Sounds like a rite top bloke to me. :rolleyes:

I'm not like that - I'm a good person, but you can't help who you like, and this in this case it's obvious what he wants.

I hope so, and I'm trying not to be presumptious but he's really playing me now!

Whoa - time out!

You need to go out and meet boys. Lots of them. Forget all coupled fitties until you've seriously built upon your social experience and value.

Oh come on, it's not rocket science is it. If you don't want to hurt someone, you don't steal their boyfriend! In fact i'd say the decent thing to do here would be to tell her that her boyfriend is an ass and you both get rid of him, which by what you've said he probably is.

Whatever, he's her boyfriend. Not her "boyfriend" or her 'boyfriend' or her '''''boyfriend'''''. They're going out together, so you back off and leave them alone and stop thinking you know exactly how good or bad they are together.

Sounds like ur just crushing on him because he's unattainable. And it also sounds to me like he's just trying to get you to make a move, see how desperate you are for him, how far you'll go, bit of an ego trip. Seriously, either stay well away, or get him to flirt with you and then shuv it in his face by telling his current gf. Guys like this deserve to be castrated. :smile:

Everyone will hate you if you are perceived to be the reason they break up. In their eyes he'll be a hero and you'll be some kind of tramp. Best not to go there.
