Onceablumoon View Profile History	Dilemma Posted : 24 Aug, 2010 07:03 PM Hey everyone! I have a bit of a dilemma that I'm not exactly sure how to respond to. A buddy of mine has been best friends with a girl for years, and he ended up falling in love with her, or so he says. He eventually told her his feelings and she rejected him. She already has a boyfriend anyways and wants to stay with him. My friend is in a tough place now and is looking to me for advice. The girl wants to stay friends and keep hanging out and my friend wants to as well. I told him, however, that it would not be for the best. I realize they are best friends, but if he keeps seeing and spending time with her then he will never be able to move on. Losing a best friend is terrible, but clinging to a hope that will probably never happen is far worse in my opinion. So what do you all think? Am I wrong for telling him that? I would very much appreciate any thoughts you might have. God bless ^_^ Post Reply

To GraceMae, I believe you're exactly right; this girl seems to be relying too much on my friend to fill what's missing in her current relationship. He's told me himself he feels like a second boyfriend without the "benefits" lol. It's both encouraging and not to hear everyone's thoughts. I've never lost a best friend personally, but I can imagine it would drastically intensify the pain of his loss, not only to lose his love interest but also the person he shares so many interests and memories. Something I haven't mentioned yet but is of utmost importance: My fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, if you have the time, desire, or calling to do so, I ask that you pray for him in this difficult struggle, and that this situation will play out according to God's will, that He may be glorified through it.
