uncomfortable situation

[couture]

I’m in a little bit of a dilemma I met this guy recently and we really got on well we have so much in common it’s strange. He’s got a long-term girlfriend at another university about 3 hours away. I’ve never actually let my feelings develop for him nor told him because it’s pointless with him having a girlfriend!

 

However this past week we’ve been hanging out a lot with friends and I also went over to his to watch a video. Now our friends are beginning to pick up on it and joking saying that we’d be a perfect couple and that we were quite obviously ‘going to get it on’. He got quite drunk the other day when we were out and told a friend that he loved his girlfriend but I’d be the only girl worth chasing If he were single. Now that I know this I don’t really know how to act around him and find it uncomfortable talking to him and I don’t really know what to do!

He doesn't know that you know what he said drunk... so just keep it the same casual tone as if you didn't know. Hard I know... but under the circumstances it's all you can really do. Don't dwell on it, just keep being yourself as his friend and don't let it get in the way of how you act around him. It might take a little bit for you to feel completely at ease again, but it'll be easier if you remind yourself he's exactly the same person he was before you heard this from your friend!
