A relationship question! w00000t!

Actually, it isn't a romantic question, just a relationship with 2 of my friends.

Okay, here's the situation. Everytime I do something with my friends (we'll call the guy Jack and the girl Jill) I end up feeling like a third wheel. We usually pick up some crappy B Grade movies and have a laugh fest. Yesterday, we watched the 1972 classic, FROGS. Anyway, Jill has a boyfriend. Said boyfriend is now in the military, but he's coming back in a few weeks.

Anytime I go over to do something with them, Jack and Jill end up holding hands, laying with each other, sneaking in little caresses that they think I don't see, and all around flirting inncessantly. They'll tickle each other and end up wrestling around. I don't get spoken to, even though I've been invited to come along.

Jack insists he doesn't have any feelings for Jill that aren't platonic. Frankly, his lying is making me crazy, as is feeling like I'm only being invited to keep them from looking suspicious.

So. What do I do? I'm slated to go hang out with them tonight. Help teh me.

You could express your feelings though that might cause your gatherings to stop, and I'm guessing that you wouldn't have posted here if you could have done that. Unless there are some sort of parental restrictions, you could invite a lady-friend yourself. Then, you wouldn't have to feel left out of the goings on since you will be having your own.

Start muscling in on the girl. I'm not joking around here. If he asks "WTF are you doing??", just reply with "Well you don't have any feelings for her. So I'm going to start something of my own." You'll get him to admit his feelings for her right quickly. Or he'll still continue to lie and he has no grounds on which to bicker with you. And you might end up with the girl.

I've got a girlfriend. So... no. ;-)

Another thing that really bothers me is that Jill claims to be loyal to her boyfriend, but has admitted to me privately that she likes Jack. By likes I mean "like likes".

But Jill's mom might not approve of me assaulting her daughter.

I don't see how its any of your business, really.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

I don't really agree there,

I say they are just using you(by having you there) to say to them selfs "I'm just out with friends and not on a date"

and I'm willing bet they won't/don't do this infront of (many)other people because they(she?) doesn't want it to known she's pretty much cheating on her boyfriend.

If you really want to avoid confronting them on this, I'll suggest you do one of two things

1: make sure there is more then just the three of you, a person that knows/ is friends with Jill's boyfriend would work best

2: just don't go when it would be just the 3 of you, make up so bs to git out of it. then when jill's boyfriend gits back the problem will fix it's self.... one way or the other..

But If I were you, I would just call them out on it by saying some thing like.

"na, I don't like going with you on your dates jack and jill"

PS. sorry for any spelling/grammer errors I don't have my glassed on and I prety much can't read what I've typed..

Talk about getting used. You already know whats going on, just get the hell out of dodge dude.

Just start tickling the girl too, and see how he likes it. If your girlfriend, her boyfriend, or jack suddenly get mad, say "Jack was doing it, too!" then you can all have an orgy, oh, and maybe rachel and ross can get back together!? ^.^

Seriously, tell Mr. Army. He'll RPG that *****!

I ended up talking to Jill, laid it out for her. She said she knew exactly what I meant, and was sorry. I'm thinking...

wtf. If you knew, why'd you do it?
Oh well. The movie was awesome. See topic "Session 9"
