My best friend have both told me that they are in love with each other

2 Comments

K & B are my female best friends and I have known them for a little over a year. B is bisexual and K is, too. I know this because they have both just come out to me, but not to each other, although, K accidentally saw B on a date with a girl (who B has since broken up with). Which I only found out when she came to me crying. I have also found out that B is in love with K, and K really likes B, but she only said that she 'like likes' B, even though the tears tell a different tale.
The sexual tension between them is driving not only them, but also me and everyone around them crazy.
There's another problem. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but B is not very... constant?
She had problems in her past, which made her a bit of a commitment-phobe.
My other friends have picked up on it, and they keep on dropping really obvious hints, which make K & B uncomfortable.
Whenever B flirts with K, K blushes really badly, and when I asked her why she doesn't take the flirting seriously, she says that she has put it down to B's personality.
K overthinks things. She wants to make a move on B, but is too scared of putting their friendship in jeopardy.
B doesn't have any problems with overthinking, but is also scared of ruining the friendship. She says she'd rather be just friends and hung up on K forever, then it all going wrong and having K never wanting to speak to her again.
It's such a shame because B really loves K, and vice versa, but they are both too scared to take a leap.
Should I interfere or let them just carry on like this and hope one of them develops the courage to say how she feels?

Interfere? 19
Let them carry on? 13

    What if one of them never gains courage to express their fellings? That´s not quite fair if they really love each other, isn´t it? I´m all about "mind your own business" but honestly, sometimes you just need to give people a little push. Although they are affraid of putting their friendship in jeopardy that´s something they need to do, otherwise they are being selfish and putting you and your other friends under tension and stress. If they expressed their fellings for each other and after that was that awkwark moment, hey at leat they were honest with each other!
    I´m gonna give you a example of what you might do just for giving that little push and not interfere too much:

    1. Plan a party at your house (or anywhere else) - invite all your friends, including K and B.(if necessary, don´t tell them the other is going to the party too)

    2. Make them get in the same room and then lock them inside (you accidentaly droped beer on your favorite t-shirt. Go to B and say: "oh no, hey can you go to my bedroom pick another t-shirt?". She starts walking to your bedroom and then one of your friends goes to K and say: "oh shit, there´s no more beer here, hey can you go to (your name)´s bedroom? I think he bought some more but left them there...", she goes to your bedroom but when she gets in there, she sees B picking up a t-shirt for you and before any of them say something you grab the bedroom key and lock them inside. They are like: "let us get out of here, what the fuck are you doing?" and you say: "I only get you two out of there when you two start talking about what´s driving me and everyone around us crazy." Then, with the first part of your plan completed go relax and enjoy the party and hope the best. At first the two won´t gonna start talking about their fellings, of course - give them time to let things in - they will probably check if the windows are locked too but you were smart and locked everything. You also remembered to take them their phones so they can´t talk to anyone else.)

    3. Wait. All you need to do next. When they give up fighting to get out, there is gonna be some tension and soon or later they will be talking about what they feel one for each other. I don´t know when you should let them out but wait a few hours or until the next morning. If after that, all continues the same you need to accept it and remind you that you did something to help them and at least you tried.

    Sorry for the big text but hope I did hepled!
    Wish the best for you and your friends :)

    Mind your own business and take care of your own side of the street, my friend.
