What do you do when you have a friend of the opposite sex who gets in a new relationship...?

If she's happy, you should be a good friend and be happy for her, suport her, she would really like that. Try to ignore her, but don't let her notice that you are ignoring her. The easiest way is to tell her.

Respect that they are in love with someone else and not try to interfere. If it's meant to be then life will work it's self out that way. If this person ends up singal again take a stab at it but this is a longtime friend and to interfere when you think they are happy and in love is just a violation of the friendship.

Yes. Just be her friend for now, but not too good of one or it will just help her stay with the other guy too because then she'll have the best of both worlds.  Let her know how you feel about her and that you are there for her, but that until she is free from other ties that you need to keep your distance.

Well, maybe you should tell her how you feel about her! She may only think you want to be friends, so I would tell her soon. Ask her how she may feel about the idea of the two of you dating.  She may be happy that you have spoken up!  When you start dating a good friend sometimes it changes the friendship. You can only hope that the feelings for one another become more intense and more loving. If you happen to drift apart, then the original friendship may be forever changed.  I thought I would toss that in for your to consider. I mean if things do not work out well for you, you can only hope that you can still be friendly, and not resent any new fellows that may come along in her future if the two of you fail at your attempt at a relationship...do you see what I mean?\n\nGood luck, I hope she feels the same for you too, you sound so nice!

Your friend is having a little jealousy problem right now.  It's really cool that you are talking to the new girl, sometimes a new student doesn't have any friends for a while.  Keep being friends with the new girl and tell your other friend she can hang out with you too.

Well, fess up first of all. Admit that you were talking to his friend.  But let him know if it was strictly just talking out of friendship or whatever it is. Be honest, if you were talking to his friend and you think that you're attracted to the friend, then try to date the friend if he's available. Don't keep leading the other guy on and letting him think that you're into him when really you're into the friend because you want them both or something like that. I'm not saying this is the case, I'm just saying you need to explain yourself. If he doesn't respond then let it go, as much as it will irritate you to leave something at that, you'll have the peace of mind to know that you did what you had to do and that you've apologized and offered some sort of explanation. It is his fault for burning any bridges. And remember to look at signs, this may be a sign that you're not compatible with him, if you can honestly see yourself saying that you wouldnt do this if the situation was reversed, then you know you're on different levels. Good luck with this situation.

i have friends in my life that are going through the same situation, but i think that the best way to move on is to set things straight with him/her and w/ the new girl or boy. then you should try and not hang around as much and just try and become interested in another person

Does the guy know how your best friend feels about him? If he does, he's made his choice.\n\nTry to put yourself in your friend's shoes, and give her some time to cool off. If the roles were reversed, you might be upset for a while too, even if she'd checked with you first. Meanwhile, do you know another guy you can introduce her to?

If he wont leave her, and claims to like you still, he either just wants to be friends with you, he has the delusional thoery he can date both you and her, and/or he wants you to be his cheating partner. Go on to someone else, but don't be closed to letting your new relationship progress.

you have tons of time, just stay friend with her and make a move when they break up!

If you two are really that good of friends, then nothing can ruin that friendship. Be honest with him & let love take its course. If he's not cool with it; let him know that you still value your friendship & would like to remain friends. Flirt with him & have fun. Friends of the opposite sex are always fun to have around. The key is to take it slow.

oh my gosh, this just happened to one of my really good guy friends! tell her how you feel about her, if she doesn't want to be with you then she doesn't deserve you

Well... what's done is done. I usually don't encourage anyone to get mixed up in people's relationships, but perhaps what you did is for the best. You may have saved the guy from a worse heartbreak than he had just experienced. \nAnd for your part, she does sound parasitic... a friendship should go two-ways, it's unhealthy to let just one person absorb all the benefits for herself while the other suffers. Not to worry, hopefully what you did will help her realize her selfish attitude. Plus, not all girls are like her, there are others who will brighten your day instead of always asking something from you. Good for you, for speaking your mind and trying to do what's right :)

Ok if i was you in this situation except it would be a guy,  I would ask him out, and try to get to know him a little better. Then maybe if he had fun we would go out again.  Who gives a crap if she's spending time with this other guy.  Maybe they are just friends!

they need to sit down & have a serious talk about their relationship, where it is going etc.... then they both will know if they want the same thing or if they are wasting each others time.... if one gets serious & the other doesn't feelings are going to get hurt & no one wants that...hope it works out for your friend.

If your friend is fickle and will get over this guy easily, then I wouldn't worry too much about her reaction.  If, however, this is her Romeo,  I would surrender the romance for the sake of the friend. \n\nStill, I have to wonder how much of a friend she is if you're considering dating the guy.

Just be his friend.  If things don't work out with his current gf, then be his shoulder.  You might be next...
