Expert Answer

It is fine as long as there are clear boundaries and their friendship does not infringe on your relationship in any way. This means he should not use their friendship as an emotional outlet, a way to make you jealous, or keep their conversations secret. If something feels off, speak up quickly and directly.

Question

How do I find the courage to talk to him in front of my friends?

Community Answer

Having people listen in on any conversation could be nerve wracking, and even more so when it comes to a guy you like. Try talking to him alone first if you’re nervous about speaking with him in front of your friends. Or let your friends know that you’re trying to start a conversation with him and ask them to help you out by guiding the conversation his way.
