Author	Topic: My best friend's boyfriend sent me an email....
Nostromo28 Member	posted 04-17-2001 06:41 PM ...basically telling me that he likes me. Uh oh, BIG red flag went off on that one. I had no idea that was coming. Here's the deal. "Frank" (my best friend), has been with "David" for about 8 years now, but they've broken up and gotten back together three times. They came to visit me recently, and stayed in my apt for 5 days. That was the first time I'd met "David". Anyway, a couple days ago, I got an email from "David", thanking me for my hospitality. But there was one thing: "Frank" had gotten upset with him recently, because apparently, "David" talks about me all the time: how he had a great time meeting me, etc. "Frank" wondered if "David" actually liked me. "David" said he denied it...but in the email he sent, he says it's true. That he and Frank are going to break up soon for the final time, and that he hopes he can start something with me. First of all, he's not my type, AND I would never do that to my best friend, even if they were broken up. But I don't know whether to tell my best friend about the whole thing. I want to keep my mouth shut, but what if at some point down the road, he finds out about the email?? That could make me look like I'm hiding something. -Confused in LA IP: Logged
backgroundgrrl Member	posted 04-17-2001 06:45 PM You could reply to "David" telling him you are not a backstabber, carefully sending a cc to "Frank". But that's just me. I know if my man were telling people we were breaking up and he was hunting for a new person, I would want to know about it. IP: Logged
julie Member	posted 04-17-2001 06:46 PM Tell your friend, yes..for sure. If you are being honest and do not have a thing for "David" then it is no problem. Your friend "Frank" deserves all the info. You already know this though. Unless ofcourse you don't want to burn bridges with "David". IP: Logged

Nostromo28 Member	posted 04-17-2001 06:50 PM I want to talk to my friend...but then I'd feel like I'm contributing to the breakup. If I tell him, I know he'll confront "David", and I'd feel like I caused a fight. On the other hand, I just don't know if I can keep this info from him. -Nos IP: Logged
quetee Member	posted 04-17-2001 06:51 PM hi Nos, how are you....... If davey boy is outta the pic, i would tell your friend what he did because chances of you seeing him again are slim. You will continue to see your friend. Say it in passing...... this one is simple. Thank god you dont have the hots for him or else this could be a very good queer as folk eps. IP: Logged

Nostromo28 Member	posted 04-17-2001 07:04 PM I guess you're right, Backgroundrrl. Anyway, I guess I'll take a few days to think about this one. The problem is...I really like "David"...but only as a friend. -Nos IP: Logged
julie Member	posted 04-17-2001 07:06 PM OK NOW WE ARE GETTING SOMEWHERE. You want David, don't you? Else there is no conflict here and you know it. I just love your drama Nos I really do. You get more men then me!! IP: Logged
Nostromo28 Member	posted 04-17-2001 07:09 PM I SWEAR...I DON'T WANT DAVID!!!! I mean that. He's nice, as a friend. The thing is, I've known him for as long as he and Frank have been together. I chat with him on the phone everytime I call Frank. THAT'S why I'm conflicted: that this person that I thought was really cool as this time (and who I consider(ed)a friend), likes me. -Nos IP: Logged
