How would you feel if you introduced two friends of yours and they started dating?

[LonelyDeer]

It depends on my feelings of them. If my romantic interest started dating my friend, it'd be depressing. However, even if I envy the happiness of others, I generally have positive feelings for people who can find happiness in each other because of me. It is awkward if things don't work out though. Friend divorce is no joke

[lindzula]

I considered them both as my friends. But I feel like I have started a flirting game with one of them prior to their meet. Hence, why it’s making me uncomfortable... Overall, Both of my friends are talking about the other to me and I feel less loved by them lol

[LonelyDeer]

I'm sorry you feel that way. I think it's a reasonable feeling, and I think I personally would feel that way as well. I think it's completely okay to feel that hurt but I would also challenge you to mix it with happiness because I'm sure you care for their happiness even if it seems you had to front the cost for it.

[lindzula]

I appreciate your concern! Loving both of them I know this new relationship is the best thing that could have happened for them. I hope I will find the same for myself

[OlderAndWiser]

What's the rest of the story?

[lindzula]

I considered them both as my friends. But I feel like I have started a flirting game with one of them prior to their meet. Or maybe it is just me? Hence, why it’s making me uncomfortable... Overall, Both of my friends are talking about the other to me and I feel less loved by them lol

[OlderAndWiser]

If you were flirting with one, why did you introduce them?

[lindzula]

Because I knew in my heart that they would be a better match.

[OlderAndWiser]

And now you are paying the price for your selflessness. They are in the initial stages of courtship and will be consumed with each other for a few months, then they will remember that the rest of the world exists and will resurface. In the meanwhile, start looking for someone who will be a better match for you.

[lindzula]

That’s good advice thank you!

[OlderAndWiser]

Good luck!

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

That sounds like something that would happen to me in real life; not even kidding.

As for how I feel? Probably bitter and left out at first, but eventually I would get over it.

I would however, distance myself from them and probably not hang out with them as much- not out of jealousy, but I'd feel like the third wheel everytime I'm with them.

[lindzula]

I understand your point. I think I’d get over it. They’re still in the honeymoon phase so

[TommyMountainFigure]

I have and some of them have been together for many years.
The hardest thing though was when they had a massive fight. I got them both round my house and said if you think I'm taking sides you can forget it. I locked them in the room and wouldn't let them out until they made up.

This happened to me this year. I am one of the friends that got introduced trough my flatmate.


My friend/flatmate asked to hang out one day with one of her colleagues. We got along really well and started hanging out a lot in between lockdowns, the three of us. Three months ago, the colleague that was now also my friend kissed me. We started hanging out at eachothers place, just the two of us. We kept it secret for a month but then my flatmate said she’d noticed even before we kissed.


We’re currently still together. My flatmate is really happy for us, even though it’s definitely a different vibe than before. She said she sometimes feels like she’s third wheeling, but me and him always joke about it and try not to touch eachother too much.


It shouldn’t be hard if you communicate well and make sure nobody is left out. We’re basically all doing the same stuff and together most of the time, except for when our bedroom doors close.

[JustinTimberlegs]

As long as they're both still interested in hanging out with you and not just third wheel you everytime you're out together. It sucks when they wanna chill but actually just tease each other the entire time, disrespectful to everyone else

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Love is in the air & if I introduce two of my friends & they started dating I would feel really good just as long as they stay together & if they break up I would feel like dog shit.

[DarkCarousel]

I’d probably be a little bit frustrated for a while but I’d eventually move past it and be happy for them.

[TwoowT]

It happened before but with my cousin and my friend. I let them meet each other and they fell in love and kicked me out of it. lol

[hughmathews]

thats actually something im trying to get happen right now lol, id be super proud!

[SirJohn42]

Well id be happy for them. If they hitbit off then thats great. Kust as long as they dont ditch me or make our friendship awkward.

[Yourfriend2021]

If you care about both of them, then you helped them to meet each other and you should be happy about that.

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

But then it wound up not working out, and they couldn't stand being around each other, so you lost at least one of them as your friend

[LivingExample]

I would be Happy for them if I didn’t want to be with one of the people!

[Avicenna]

I'd be happy for them

[Blackcupcake]

It happened before I don’t really care

[exitseven]

I would probably think it was pretty cool.

[Brianbrake]

that would be nice

[Varanus]

Really good :)

[Shihab91]

[zagor]
