What do you do if....?

Your guy friend is a big boy who can take care of himself. If he gets his heart broken, that’s okay, he’ll learn from it and recover. And, it’ll give you a chance to be the supportive friend to him that you are.

If you try to “protect” him, he may view that as you interfering with his relationship, and he may resent you for that. This exact thing happened to me once, and it took me a very long time to reconcile with the person who was trying to protect me.

Are you interested in your guy best friend?Thats the vibe I get from your question. If you do, it’s a completely different question.

Wait, what?

Like @TheCouncil said, it appears that you are interested in your guy best friend. If that is the case, is there a reason you haven’t moved to develop the relationship you want?

But regardless of you, if your guy best friend is interested in pursuing a relationship with your girl best friend, then any “protecting” you think you are doing will be perceived as butting in and you could very well alienate both of them.

How much do you like this guy friend? Everybody has to learn some mistakes for themselves. Especially the ones pertaining love (or like). I say unless you have secret feelings for this guy, then let them go. This could end up for the best, no matter the outcome.

If you have feleings for the guy friend, tell the girl friend. If you intend to do something about your feelings for him, let her know she has competiton. Otherwise, let them figure it out for themselves.
