I ENJOY MY FRIENDS COMPANY A LOT AND I LOOK FORWARD ON TALKING TO HIM MORE THAN MY BOYFRIEND SOMETIMES I CATCH MYSELF THINK ABOUT MY FRIEND I CANT GET OF MY MIND… WHAT DO U THINK IS GOING ON???

Answer #1

I’ve been in that situation before. It’s that surge of feelings being rekindled from your old best friend coming into play. Maybe at one point or another in the past you had some really strong feelings for this guy friend of yours and when you stopped talking, out of sight out of mind. And the problem is you can’t really stop what you feel, because if you could you’d be able to spare yourself a lot of grief in life.

What I would say to you is, since you’re so unsure of what you’re feeling for this friend of yours, DON’T rush out of your current relationship. You’ve got a lot going for you with him from what you’ve said. Just stay with your boyfriend and maybe try to talk to your friend and see where his head is at with all of this (like what his feelings about you are etc…) and try and get on some common ground with him. Try to figure out exactly what your feelings are for him– just talk to him and hang out (but don’t go about it in a way that’s secretive because that could start a problem for you in your current relationship) and see where that takes you. I mean, these feelings could just be that really strong bond best friends have between eachother and not necessarily a romantic thing.

So just wait it out and don’t stress out about it, because stressing can make you make some pretty strange choices.

Answer #2

Well I think you may meant to be more than just friends with your friend. Just make sure that he feels the same way about you. Afterall if someone if you can’t get someone out of your head then maybe they should be there. Good luck with whatever you decide.
