I have a huge problem. Im dating someone who likes me alot, but i keep finding myself thinking about his best mate! I really like the person im dating but i find myself constantly comparing him to his mate. The other issue is i have feeling his mate likes me to. He always pays me his undivided attention if were out together with my other mates and is constantly winking at me. But is he just being friendly? The other issues is my best girl mate likes him to im soo torn. I can't like him because im dating his best mate and my best mate likes him but i can't stop thinking about him! Do i just say how i feel to him and see how he responds or do i keep it quiet? HELP!

Think about what you have to gain vs. what you have to lose.

If you tell him how you feel, you will lose your boyfriend, put their friendship in jeopardy, and risk your friendship with your best girl friend.

Situations like this, best friends dating/being interested in one another, are messy. You take a lot of risks dating someone who is in your close circle of friends. I'm not sure this can work out with you getting exactly what you want and losing nothing in the process. There will be a lot of hurt feelings either way. You need to determine if revealing your feelings to this guy is worth the price of your current relationship, possible rejection, and hurt feelings from your best friend and boyfriend. I can't make that choice for you.

I agree with the previous poster, especially in that only you can determine what you should do, and I think she's given you a lot to think about with her post.
