A very good friend of mine is in a very happy relationship with a wonderful women that I realy like. My problem is, today he told me he can't stop thinking about me.

What do I do or what do I tell him. I know that we would not work out if they broke up.

Any response would help.

Thanks

Tell him you just met someone {ME!} and that he should stay with the nice girl. {And technically you wouldn't be fibbing, either.}
And remind him that guys are dumb and should listen to their lady friends more. He'll either be offended and take less interest in you or realize you're right and not be a nuisance.

Thank you. I told him it wouldn't work out for us but he thinks it will because we are such good friends. I actually am going on a date (YAY) this week and was thinking about using that as an excuse. The problem is, we are very close, and he would know if I didn't continue to see this guy.......frustrated frustrated frustrated

He won't even listen to his best guy friend either.

Good luck on the date!

I support happiness, even if it's not mine.

If you keep blowing him off and stand your ground, eventually, he'll back off. But expect him to be cranky.

It took me a while to realize some women make better friends than lovers, and I still make mistakes along those lines.

But it all works out. I just feel bad for the girl he's got.

Hell, tell him that if he can't appreciate what he has, and want's to swap her for you, how do you know he won't do the same to you down the road. Let him know that even though he's your friend, he's shown he can't really be trusted.

But either way, have some fun!

Thanks so much. I did mention the trust issue, but he only told me cuz he wanted my advice.

I think I will just keep insisting like you say and see if that works.
