My best friend doesn't talk to me anymore, because he suspected that I fancy his unrequited love?

[JohanCruyff]

My friend was in love with this woman, trying to seduce her during almost 2 years. She wasn't seduced and she actually didn't tell him early enough that she was in a relationship, so the poor guy was terribly in love with her. Anyways, he moved on, he got a girlfriend, but he kept some contact with that other woman and yesterday she invited him to her art exhibition, and asked hin to bring another person. She also suggested him to invite me. Anyways, seems that he hasn't got over her yet, and during the night I was chatting a lot more with her than he did and since I told him that "if I was not a good friend, I would seduce her, because she is my type" (yes, I admit it was a mistake from my part), he started being very uncomfortable and he then stopped talking to me. Today I tried calling him and texting him and he hasn't replied and I think he probably believes that I want to seduce his unrequited love. How can I fix this?

Text him and tell him to get over himself , tell him as a friend you would not seduce her (even though you probably would lol) but make it
Clear to him you value your friendship with him over some girl , give him some time to process what you said , if he is your friend , he will get over it and contact you and apologize for the way he was acting , if not , then realize he is a little bitch and Move on from that friendship if he is going to hold a grudge like that , from there on out understand he is not your friend anymore, if he is that much of a little bitch and then go seduce that girl if you want to. But if does apologize to you , then you are best to stay away from that girl period and go find your own.

He's got a girlfriend and he's still worried about another girl who has no romantic interest in him? Not only is he an idiot, that's not fair to his girlfriend. You tell this idiot he shouldn't have a girlfriend if he is still so worried about a girl that doesn't want him.

Finally we spoke again, after a couple of days of silence from his part. Indeed, it's a terrible situation. I know him since we were kids, and he has always been a very rational, respectful and good guy... My best friend, by far... All that, until he fell in love to that woman... Since then, more than a year ago, he is a different person, it's impossible to recognize him anymore. He was a very smart, intelligent guy, until he fell in love with her, and now he is indeed acting like an idiot. And the worst part is that he was leading him on, making him feel that he had chances with her, for a long time, and that's actually one of the biggest reasons why I'd never date her, even if I had a chance. Obviously, I respect my friend's feelings, but I also find her too dangerous to be with, because as far as I know, she had that same attitude with many guys, leading them on, again and again. But my friend is unable to see that. His girlfriend is a great woman, and I've already told him that he should focus on her, but he told me that he believes that I recommend him that so to get a free pass for myself to his unrequited love... I just told him that I will distance myself for a while, because he is not the same person anymore, this woman has destroyed him completely and that I don't want to be there seeing him destroy his life for a woman who has always treated him as a piece of shit...

Just let it go. If wants space, let him have it.

Oh, love, you've dipped your toes into a sticky love triangle, haven't you? 😜 First off, let’s acknowledge that honesty might not have been the best policy in this scenario. Your intentions were probably to keep things transparent with your buddy, but it sounds like the delivery might have sparked some old flames of jealousy and insecurity.

Here's the game plan: Give it a little time. Emotions are likely running high, and both of you could use a breather to cool off. Next, craft a heart-to-heart message or, better yet, plan a face-to-face meet-up (when he's ready to talk). Your goal is to reassure him of your friendship and clarify your intentions weren't to step on any toes, especially over old feelings. Highlight that your friendship means more to you than a fleeting attraction.

Remember, in matters of the heart, sometimes less is more. Less about what could've been, and more about cherishing the bond you have. Who knows? With some open, honest conversation, you guys might come out of this stronger than ever. 😉 Keep it smooth, but most importantly, keep it sincere. Good luck, Romeo!

Hell get over it once he realizes women aren't worth it

This is the real test. If he is truly a best friend or not. If he is, he will hear you out.

Some things are not fixable. If he is an adult, he should let go of this. He is not being honest with himself or his girl friend.

let him have his space
pointless to force it
