What would you do (& please answer this HONESTLY!) if your best friend was attracted to someone, but they were attracted to you?

I want to add that the person is very attractive & you certainly notice that fact.

Honestly....
I would back off.
I'd rather keep my friend.
If what you are saying is that your friend likes someone, and that someone your friend likes, prefers you over your friend...that is...?

honestly owen, i can't answer i know what i would like to say, but hand on heart it would depend on the circumstances.

It has happened to me once in that i liked someone, he liked my friend, you can't make someone like you but as a friend i feel it would be wrong to stop my friend seeing someone, when there was no chance anyway. To me, that would be a selfish kinda friendship. wine

I think I seen this movie.... My Best Friend's Wedding.

I guess you didn't state whether 'you' were attracted to the person also. If you were, your friend should back off. If you are not, you should 'set them up' together.

We don't get many chances in life of finding a best friend so that would be too important to jeopardize so I would take the "plenty fish" attitude and walk away from it all.

Ok
scenario
cos I dont agree with walkin away and settin ur friend up for a downfall.
I seen this before.
The man in question will get together with ur best friend.
Not outta love but to be closer to you his real love.
This could not be true but chances r way too high I am right here.
So i would be honest.

I don't get this, in reverse if the person is not attracted to you, but liked your friend why would you stand in there way, if you were truly there friend confused

I think it would depend how strong his attraction was to yours.
Being best friends doesn't mean that one should let the opportunity of (what could be) a long lastin, great relationship, pass you by.
Just being attracted to someone, doesn't necessarily mean, that someon is attracted to you. In this case, then the "best friend" should probably focus her attention toward another direction and wish you well, and remain best friends.

Another point, there are a lot of women and men, who are attracted to certain individuals, but - that does not mean, that certain individual returns those same sentiments. Therefore, friends, best friens, family or whoever finds themself in this situation, should realize this, wish the other party(s) well, and move on. This should not interfere or upset "truly" best friends.

If your best friend was such a good friend surely he/she would understand, given the circumstances and accept that his/her feelings were not being reciprocated. That said, if it were to cause real upset I would hold on to the friendship. Not really an answer is it.dunno
