As a woman if you were in a serious relationship but started catching feeling for your guy friend would you try and push him away subtly?

Probably yes. If I didn’t want to cheat on my partner I might need to give myself some space from this man.

Yes I understand but if you guys are close friends why not just tell him. I personally would be like I understand. We are both attractive people and being around eachother a lot it's easy to start catching feelings. Let's talk about it and we can maybe set some boundaries or just say to eachother nothing is ever gonna happen sexualy so let's just move past it and be friends that care for eachother. I don't wanna lose my long time good friend.

Okay so then you need to have the conversation I guess. I’ve had that happen with a friend. It’s awkward! So will you approach her and open the conversation?

[Asker]

Yes I would. I personally wouldn't find it awkward. It's just like hey your in a serious relationship we are not gonna hook up no big deal. Maybe we both should turn down the flirting a notch or two. You don't wanna cheat and I don't wanna be a homewrecker so all it is really is an agreement. Prob be even better friends afterwards.

Hmmm. I don’t know. That could make it weird. This is a touchy situation. I’ve been there. So you think she’s avoiding you because she has feelings for you?

[Asker]

Yes I honestly do. It is a very tough situation. I understand that. But I'm also not an asshole and I put myself in her shoes and understand her thinking. I don't know I don't wanna lose such an amazing friend I have so many great memories with. So we're just gonna ignore eachother for the rest of our lives or until we are both single. I just want my friend back.

That’s easy to say but feelings are powerful. Do you see each other often? Do you talk on the phone? Etc. it’s hard to walk away but sometimes harder to stay. As a woman I speak from experience in this.

[Asker]

Once a week we se eachother. No way I'm walking away. Up to her if she does. I can't force her not too. Feelings are strong and if they are stronger than what you already have for someone else then go for it I say. If it's just a little crush then we can move past it. Thanks for the advice I hope she comes around eventually.

She may “leave” for a while to try and move past her feelings and then return. If you are that good of friends or a positive part of her life she won’t leave forever. Thats my prediction and also something I did.

No, I would never push a friend away.

Women should always be honest in situations like that.
