User post: I'm afraid my bf is going to fall for my friend

My close friend whom i met through my boy friend hangs out with him a lot.  She goes to my bf's shop to help him out with his work and to hang out.  She is a very attractive almost flawless girl who is really close with my bf.  She met him this summer while clubbing and claims my bf is "the brother she never had".  My bf hangs out with her quite a lot and sometimes i feel that he's "checking her out".  I feel they have a better connection than i have with my bf.  I know that they're just good friends but sometimes i have this gut feeling that maybe my bf has deep feelings for her. I'm afraid that my bf will fall for her because they hang out all the time.  Me and my bf haven't even hung out for a week and she's already seen my bf almost everyday.  My friend and my bf never try to hide whenever they hang out so i feel i shouldn't worry but lately, she doesn't tell me if she went to my bf's shop or not.  Maybe because she does feel sorry that my bf sees her more than i do?  
I can see them flirting back and forth since my friend is single and hot.  One night when i was working and my bf's friends and she went out, i heard my bf was carrying her bc her feet were sore from wearing boots.  Their actions make me so frustrated and i don't know what to do.  I tried to confront my bf about it because i couldn't take it anymore and all he said was "I can see where you're coming from".  That just tells me he knows what he's doing wrong.  I never tried to confront my friend because i'm afraid it'll ruin our friendship i have and i consider her one of my best friends now.  I wish she could understand my feelings and stop hanging out with my bf so much.  I have to have my guards up because she is very attractive and is also smart.  She needs to learn to give him space so i can hang out with him.  
I also feel that he would fall for her because i'm always studying and don't spend too much quality time with him.  She is always available to hang out and is a very spontaneous girl, which my bf likes.  They seem to get along better than me getting along with my bf.  I wouldn't be surprised if people thought her and my bf are in a relationship together since they are always together.  My friend is also close with my bf's kids and the kids love her.  She is just perfect for him.  She helps him whenever he's in need of help and is an affectionate friend.  
Should i talk to her about this problem or should i disregard it and think it's silly since they're only good friends?  Is there a possible chance my bf is falling for her because she has everything he needs and are best friends?

    The emotional relationship that she is developing with your so-called boyfriend is happening as we speak. She knows what she is doing, an she's doing it because you Bf isn't respecting you enough to tell you that he's making sure that he has her, before he dunks you. Think: If you walked away, who would be in his bed the next minute? Elementary watson! This is about your boyfriends respect level for you. She is just competing for what she wants,...you know!

    you both are right, but she also has eyes on my bf's friend... she tells him about her guy problems to my bf all the time. I don't know if he would be attracted to her if she clearly isn't interested in him but friendship... however, i could see her developing emotional relationship and soon be in the same page together

    You need to confront your friend. She needs to know that this bothers you. You also need to find ways to spend more time with your boyfriend. He's dating you not your friend so you know that he cares about you but it sounds like you are giving up. Relationships take work. IF you truly care about him then you need to make more effort instead of whining. :) Good luck!

    Ditch the guy. If he were a decent guy, he would avoid your friend.

    If he falls then don't hold on...just drop him. The only weight to this matter that makes it so heavy is you are more worried about them than you are for yourself. Boyfriend is not a husband so technicly he still has the right to choose and so do you. Some decisions you have to let people make for themselves regardless of how strongly you feel about them. If you truly care about him you would alow him to be happy however he chooses, if he does and that would say alot more about you than appearing to have control over other peoples feelings. The truth about being held sometimes is learning how to let go, until the moment is right to hold on or just be held. You sound like you already know what to do...so just let it play out and go from there.

    First of all, if she's seeing him everyday and you haven't seen him in a week ... Is he really your boyfriend or are you maybe making this relationship out to be more than it really is? I'm not trying to be mean, but it seems your reality may be a little skewed here. Perhaps, you should back off a little and if he comes to you then you know that's he's really interested. If a week goes by and he doesn't call or make an attempt to see you, it's time to move on sweety. Be sure you aren't just a convenience for him because you're the one giving it up. If he's putting another woman in front of you, you should just move on. I'm sure there's a better man out there that will want to spend his time with you.

    I think you should have a talk with her. Tell her how it makes you feel and if she is a true friend then it wont be a big deal. Guys sometimes think girls over react about situations like this. But as a girl, your friend should undersatnd how you are feeling. In the end if it is meant to be...then it will. Good luck!

    Well sweetie, I have to agree with Urassismine....ummm, the emotional relationship is already developing. She may like his friend but I think she has already developed deep feelings for your bf and the feeling might be mutual. But sit them down and tell them how you feel. Don't accuse them..just say how you feel. And remember actions do speak louder than words.
