'I lied to stop my friend dating my best mate'

'I lied to stop my friend going out with my best mate'

I was best friends with this person for two years. I found him drop dead gorgeous but I never let on that I was attracted to him.

Because I didn't want to lose him as a friend, when we went out together for drinks etc, it always ended with us being flirty towards each other.

Then when we went our separate ways, we always sent flirty txt messages to each other.

One of my friends got interested in him so I told her something was going on between us because I didn't want her to have him.

I know that was really selfish but I was jealous. I know he wasn't interested in her, but I just had to make sure nothing would happen!

Nothing happened between us, so I started to date another chap instead - I guess my best mate only wanted me as a friend. But, he stopped talking to me after I started seeing my boyfriend.

I feel bad about telling people that something had gone on between us, when it never did! I don't think he knows I said anything to anyone but it keeps playing on my mind... Should I just forget about it or say something? HELP!

i think what u did is what i wdu have done. but i wudnt want soemone to lie on me if is werent true. i think if u tell ur best friend that u like him and taht u said a lie about him he wud forgive u. just try and find that special moment without making it too obvious that ur gonna tell him something ''bad'' from ur side.

Hi Danielle... The way you acted was only human. Dont beat your self up about it. It is natural that you are going to feel jelous of the thought of your best friend been with the man you sercretly want. i think the best thing you can do now is to come completly honest and open about what you did. I think you should talk to your best friend and your friend. i hope everything goes well for you. good luck xx x

I think you got a bit jealous of your friends and scared that they were going start to like each other, but everyone makes mistakes. If what you say about him not being interested in your friend is right, then I cant see there being a problem from that point of view, however, would you be upset if someone was saying they had been intimate with you when its a lie? I think if these people do ask you outright or you hear any more about it then you would be better in the long run to tell the truth and explain that you were scared that your friendships might suffer. Saying sorry and admitting you were selfish and wrong may just help. True friends would forgive you for this silly lie.
