xpaperxcutx Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 don't you want to be in their position? I see my best friends with their boyfriends and sometimes I'm bothered about the fact I'm still single. I used to hate guys coming in between my friends and I, but lately my preference for remaining single is daunted by my jealousy for my friend's happiness. When one of my best friend first dated back in high school, I was happy that she found someone, at the same time I was secretly contemplating stealing him away from her. Was that horrible or what? I was such a terrible friend. I'd never had those thoughts again, but whenever I'm spending time with my friends, and their boyfriends tag along, I feel very uncomfortable and I resort to friendly threats of " if you hurt her, I'll come after you" or " Treat her well". I suppose to them, I come off as protective, but I don't really know what causes me to react in such a way. It could be that my friends are all now part of a couple and I being the lone wolf, has less things in common. So if I started seeing someone, then maybe I would come off less as a third wheel and more as a couple on a double date?
