How to get my friend back?

so this one guy I know had feelings for me before he started dating his ex girlfriend (who is one of my really good friends) and she still has feelings for him. we went to party last night and she got upset when my friend and I were talking to him during the night and she ended up going upstairs and crying etc. but I dont have any feelings for him and at the end of the night he tried to kiss me and it was really uncomfortable. I havent spoke to her yet because im afraid she is really mad at me for her ex boyfriend flirting with me/talking to me. I dont know what to say to her or anything. please help!

You know these are really tricky situations, but what I would suggest is that you most definately talk to you friend and you should probably talk to her ex boyfriend too. To the ex boyfriend of your friend, I would explain to him nicely but pretty to the point that nothing is going to happen between you and that obviously because you and his ex are such good friends, his flirtation is really uncomfortable. Then I would definately go talk to your friend and I guess try to be understanding of what she is going through right now. We have all had break ups and even though it might seem a little irrational to get so upset over your friends talking to your ex boyfriend in a public place, when you are broken hearted and you have just been rejected by someone..all those emotions take over. I would just sit down with her, tell her how much your friendship means to you and that you wouldnt ever do anything to jeopardize that. That you were talking to him as a friend, and that he was being rather flirtatious, but you have since told him that it makes you uncomfortable and that you wouldnt ever ruin your friendship over him. Honesty is always best. You dont have feelings for him, and you didnt do anything with him, so you have nothing to hide. Once she knows that I think she will feel a lot better. Once you have explained all of that to her and you see him in passing and you chit chat ..if she is still continueing to freaking out and cry..then there is nothing more you can say or do and she needs to kind of get a grip on things and realize that people do talk as friends and only friends. Good luck..hope it works out.

just tell her you don’t have feelings for him. also inform her that her boyfriend is a dog, because he tried to hook up with you. she probably knows that he has a little thing for you, and she’s scared that he’ll leave her for you, so she gets really nervous when you two talk without her there to “supervise.” she’s much more into him then he is to her, so she just needs to let him go and move on.
