    So I met my Best friend's girlfriend yesterday and she talked to me. A lot. Long story short, we have a lot in common (She finished my Doctor Who quote for me in midsentence). Now I really like her. How do I tell my friend and his girlfriend?

    Best bro as in brother or friend? Are they in a relationship?

    Regardless of what is going on, I would tell them both how you feel about her, as keeping it inside can eventually cause damage.

    Don't do/say anything.


    Keep talking to her. Test her out. Lure her. If she breaks easily and turns out to be a bit slutty, tell your bro immediately. Or, you can wait until the relationship deteriorates (it may be a long wait, but if you really like her, she's worth it).





    But that's just me.

    Listen to me bro,
    One of my closest friends who was about your age, maybe older, was in the same position.
    He told them both, and well, his best bro wasn't too upset but it did make things extremely awkward.
    Do you want to risk that ?

    You should probably keep it to yourself, but be honest of he asks. Or if his girlfriend asks.

    Don't move in on her though, remember that. Even if they break up, it might be a bad idea.

    You've only known each other personally for a couple of days, after all, and even though it can hurt a lot to really like someone who your friend is dating, it's better to just toughen up and move on than to cause more drama than necessary.
     
  5. I couldn't say it much better than this. Testing her, seeing if she's loyal or waiting for it to deteriorate, either way works well. I kinda had a similar situation and I waited it out, my friend was hurt after she dumped him, but it was all for the best because a day later I found out she was cheating... But that's just my two-cents

    Ehh. The whole testing thing is unnecessary in my eyes.
    I mean, would you want your best bud "testing out" your gf ? Probably not haha.

    It's just meddling that can possibly cause even more stress/trouble..IMO.

    She's taken. Forget about it.



    I mean sure you have a lot in common etc, but yeah she's taken. And like the others said, if you open your mouth about it to them, it'll make things awkward. Move on my little fishy.

    Honestly though it's a bit weak that just for that time you spent with her you're now in love or w/e and odds are she only sees you as a friend. There are tons of girls out there that love Doctor Who I imagine.....

    I'm not "in love" with her. It'll take a while to get there. Buts its not just what she likes. Its how she acts. We're always finishing quotes for each other from everything. She always laughs at my jokes (No one ever does that, and I can tell when a person fakes laughing). She acts like she likes me too. She's asked me for advice twice in the past day. It all confuses me and thats why I have no Idea what to do.

    I don't care, just forget about it. She's taken by your best friend. Im not sure if you should have contact with her.




    Ugh all Im going to say is let it go. No, let it be. Yeah. Cause in times of trouble, you gotta let it be.

    I don't honestly see the huge deal at all. You've known her for a day. You don't know her, and frankly it's very easy to say that you "like" someone on a first meeting.
    Ignore it. You're not going to feel the same about her in another day or so. If it continued for a month or more, that's when you should have bothered making this thread, but until then I don't see this as being anything at all, let alone something worth mentioning.

    Listen to these words man. I know you're not stupid. I know your feel about really liking a girl when she's already taken.

    I guess you can still talk to her and shiet, just don't let it out randomly like "BRO I REALLY LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND CAN I HAVE SEX WITH HER". You get the idea.
