I hate to admit it, but one time I was “The Girl Best Friend”. Unfortunately, I was also “The One” or “The One That Got Away” (his words ten years later, not my opinion). I’m NOT saying that your BF is like my old guy friend, but… The “best friend”, the calling everyday, the illicit one time kiss… Is this simply innocence, or has it always been bad timing that they never got together? If it wasn’t bad timing, are you sure he didn’t approach her when they were both free and she had turned him down? But they keep each other as Besties because she frankly likes the attention and he likes her?

It’s tricky. Can you get him away for a long weekend or vacation with no phone/computer? Like a Yoga Retreat? Have him cut down communication to once a week? (Yes, you would come across as the jealous GF) Give him new faces, new experiences, new places? It could be you are insecure and he talks to her out of plain old habit.

Who knows? Maybe one day the Bestie will acquire a jealous BF!

Best,

Inky
