Q&A for How to Know if Your Best Friend Likes Your Crush

If your friend is going after your crush even though you told them how you feel already, explain to your friend that this upsets you. Say something like, "It hurts me that you are still flirting with them even though I told you I wanted to ask them out." This way, you have an open and honest conversation. If your friend is still mean and hurtful, you may have to cut ties.

Don't be fake about it. Ask her directly and admit that you like your crush if she doesn't know already. You can ease into it by building a conversation to lead to the topic. For example, if your crush likes football, you can start talking about football and then bring him up.

Anyone who would do that sort of thing is not acting like a good friend. Letting a crush divide friendships is a bad idea, but if she can't see that, there's not much you can do.

If you explain your feelings to your friend and they are mean toward you, be nice and kind to them. Try to still be their friend, but slowly distance yourself from the friendship if they continue to be rude. This person may not be your friend anymore, so you may have to move on.

If this is the case, know that you have a stable friendship build already, so you're already a step ahead. Rather than just joking as friends, start to act a bit more flirty. Make direct eye contact, touch your friend affectionately, and flip your hair towards them. Position your body near them, and lean in during the conversation. This way, they start to see that you are interested in being more than friends.

In some instances, it's best to stay out of the drama and not get involved. Try to bring up something else when chatting with either friend. If they are arguing and fighting, it's a good idea to have a group conversation to try to come to a resolution together.

There are a few different things you can choose to do. If your friend really likes your crush, you should definitely talk to them about it. Explain the situation and ask them what they think. You may have to learn to accept it and try to support your friend. Try not to take the situation personally, and understand that you cannot control how people feel. You may also want to talk to both of them about the situation. Explain to them how you feel, and whether you’re sad, depressed, jealous, hurt, or angry. Talking things out could help you feel better and move on. You can also try to boost your mood with other activities. Read a book to get them off your mind, treat yourself to a spa day at home, or start a new hobby. Find something that makes you feel better about the situation.

It really depends. One thing's for sure: you definitely should talk to them about it first. If your friend really likes them, you could really hurt their feelings by choosing to date their crush without considering how it could make them feel. It could potentially ruin your friendship. Ask them to meet you to talk about it. Tell them that you care about their feelings but you also have strong feelings for their crush. If you're open and honest with them, they may understand and feel less hurt by it. However, they may also get really upset and demand that you not date their crush. If that happens, you could be forced to choose between them. No matter what you decide to do, being honest and sincere with your friend is important. They may eventually get over being upset or jealous and remain your close friend.

If your friend is already dating your crush, you may feel upset and unsure of what to do. But you do have options. You can try telling your friend how you feel. Explain to them that you like the person they're dating. It may be a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but the best thing to do is to be truthful and direct about your feelings. Once you disclose your feelings, your friend may let you go after your crush, or they may get upset and defensive. You may have to decide if your crush is worth losing your friend over. If you value your friendship more than the potential with your crush, explain that to your friend and go from there.
