I would feel happy for them.

Keep your head down and stay neutral!!!

Not easy – just be a friend to both of them and give them some room.

If your planning on doing somthing, only invite one of them to hang out w. you.

I would keep my gob shut and be happy for them.

If you’re feeling left out then you could try to spend time with each of them on their own, but you can’t stop their fun just because you feel awkward. Don’t worry it might not last forever anyway.

to be honest I would try and be happy for them. However if they ever want you to take sides for what ever reason I would try to avoid to, they should understand that too.

this has happen to me and im sure alot of people. At first it will be weird and awkward but it will get better. wen you go places, you feel lik the 3rd wheel. Now i dont know ur whole situation but most of the time these relationships dont last long. so just sit bac and try to live with it for now.

I would do nothing they must like each other SO

If their truly your best friends, then you should be very happy. How can it be any better than to hang out with your two best friends. My two best friends married each other after dating for 17 years, and I haven’t been happier for them, and the best female friend of mine, is just dying for me to go out with her best female friend, she says she would be so happy if it happened.

i wouldnt feel that bad just think about it. how much worse would it be if they broke up!

Just be happy for them

Don’t hang around with them when they are together.
They’ll start thinking that you’re getting in the way, and you’ll lose your friendship.

Make sure you give them the space they need.

Plan nights out with one or the other, but not both together, unless you bring someone else, of course.

Ask em for a 3 way

You should be happy for both of them. I have been down this way before. Instead of us riding in the front together joking and partying, I drove and they got to spend time together in the back seat getting to know each other. Just because you are friends doesn’t mean you really know each other, it’s when you form the bond of girlfriend and boyfriend that things change and you learn who they really are, inside.

Never ever tell one what one says to you about the other as it will get back for sure and you will have lost your 2 best friends forever. just be supportive as they will have to get used to the change in the dynamics of your friendships too
dont get upset /offended when they go out without you, its not personal,
go out with other pals more too

puch his head in and sleep with her.
your gonna get accused of it anyway so get it over with.

aliJJ August 8, 2009 at 12:58 pm

this happened to me, and it was so wierd at first….i dealt with it terrible. i distanced myself from them, and hung out with other friends…and i got bitter that they didnt see me as much anymore.
it took us about six months to get back to normal, but now we’re all better friends than ever. It will be really wierd for a while and you may find you dont like being around them and stuff but you will get used to it i promise, and if theyre really good friends theyll understand that its wierd for you too and everything will work itself out.

JACQUELINE H August 12, 2009 at 12:33 am

i would stay neutral, see them individually and together on occasions and just be there when they need a shoulder to cry on

nicoled2408 August 14, 2009 at 12:46 pm

be happy for them!

jeshzisd August 15, 2009 at 3:38 pm

You be really happy for them, and explain that if they ever broke up (terrible suggestion, you know, but it is possible, heaven forbid) that you will refuse to take sides and they are never to put you in the middle of any of their fights or arguements. Then kisses and hugs all round!

M M August 19, 2009 at 3:25 am

Step back and let them enjoy what could be.. just be that friend you guys grow into ..

leadbelly August 22, 2009 at 8:57 am

don’t take sides.
now would be a good time for you to find a date of your own.

tauntonsomersetblue August 24, 2009 at 9:32 am
