I am not 100% with my guy friend because of me ego. How to fix this?

[Anonymous]

I don’t know if it’s only ego or my principles, values and morals. I never get into a relationship or even go on a single date with someone who’s involved with someone else. I’ve always liked my guy friend and I still do, I’ve felt a spark since the day we met 8 years ago and the connection is still there. He feels it as well. I think we’re compatible and will be a great couple. However; he’s been involved with someone (a married older woman, rumors are she groomed him) and due to this I’ve been turning him down a lot. He’s always been asking me to hang out but I prefer if we do that as a group not alone. I’ve heard his “girlfriend” is very scary and I’m afraid she hurts us both. We only go to each others’ homes for get togethers. He often asks if I ever liked him or If my parents like him and I lie every time. I never told him I liked him since then and think about all day. I even called “him bro recently cause I wasn’t thinking straight. I also was never bold enough to ask him if he ever liked me more than a friend. What should I do?

You need to put your ego and pride aside and talk to him about your feelings. Be honest and tell him that you've liked him for a long time but you're not comfortable with his situation with his "girlfriend" (especially if she is scary). Let him know how you feel without fear of rejection or embarrassment. If you don't, you may always regret it and wonder "what if". Take that risk. Don't play it safe. Follow your heart and it will lead you to your truth.

No no don't worry girl! Your smart and he won't ever be single for you!

Don't lower your ideals or morals just for someone who your mind knows is not worth it!

He will always go back to her and cheat on you to see her!

Someone way more special will come 🫴😉.

Keep him in the friendzoned and back off if he can't accept you just want friends. So far I lost 4 guy friends for this reason!
