I've liked my best guy friend for a while. About a week ago, he asked my best girl friend out, and since she knew I'd liked him, she asked me if that was OK. I love my best friend dearly, and I want her to be happy and stuff, so I said it was fine. But I still can't help but feel upset when I see them together. Should I just let it go, or should I say something?

    Maybe you should have told her and him how you felt in the first place. I was in the same situation and I took advantage of it. I have known this guy since kindergarden and when I see him flirtig with another girl I try to ignore it. Sometimes when you don't give them attention they try to get your attention by trying to ge you jealous, do you understand? So maybe you and he weren't meant to be, but look into the future and think. Maybe your friend shouldn't have said yes, but it will come back to her and what goes around comes around. So I hope I helped you.

    Make Your Bed
    You told her in the beginning that you don't mind, so now you're being hypocritical. I've been there, so I know how it feels. Just forget about it and move on. You made your bed, so now lie in it. If you were uncomfortable with her dating him, then you should've said something from the start.

    Forget it
    You gave your friend permission to date him. It's nice that she cares enough about you to ask. Now it's your turn to care.

You told her it was okay, so now you have to start getting over this guy, so their relationship won't affect you or her. You'll find someone else soon, don't worry. :-)

    This is a really tough situation. You love them both, and want to see them happy, but it still hurts.

It's really up to you and how you want to proceed. You can take the one route and just grin and bear it. Be happy for them. Or you can take another and say something. Tell her that while you did say yes, it really does bother you. Come clean, and tell the truth.

    Let it go. Think of your situation this way: What's more important? Some stupid hot boy or your best friend? I would choose the best friend.

    It sucks
    I've definitely been down that road before with an ex (who I dated for seven months) and my best friend of four years. No matter what anyone tells you, there is nothing anyone can say to make you feel any better. Although this almost hurts worse, spend some time away from both of them, reconnect with your other friends and start scoping out other people.

A situation as harsh as this takes time to heal, but you will be fine eventually. There are plenty better guys out there!

    You could say something...
    You should have spoken up in the first place! To say something now would be uncomfortable for everyone, but if you really need to say it, then go ahead. Just know that this situation is your own fault and learn from it. Next time, say no way.

    Tell her...
    You gave her permission, but I think you can still tell her your feelings. I have been in that situation too and it hurts except my bffl also likes my crush, but I got over it...it will be OK.

    Just Ask!!!
    Maybe you should just not jump to conclusions and ask him instead of wondering. Just say I think that you and my best friend are spending a little bit too much time together. But if you trust them then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

    Get over it.
    Been there...done that. I think you should let it go. Your friend asked your permission in the first place, that means that she appreciates you...so do the same to her. Appreciate her, by letting your feelings go. You can always find a guy to love... but it's hard to find a good friend you can trust.
