What do you do when your best friend is flirting with your boyfriend (who is also his best friend)?

Okay, here's the deal: I have a best friend. Let's just say her name's Lindsay. Then I have a boyfriend, let's just say his name is Dave. Okay, so me and Dave have been going out for almost 2 months, but Lindsay is sort of getting in the way. She is my best friend, but at the same time she is also Dave's best friend. And here's the kicker: Lindsay is ALSO Dave's ex-girlfriend. Can you say awkward?? So, now I feel weird talking to Lindsay because she just reports everything I say back to Dave, and it's weird because Dave always talks to Lindsay as well. I know I'm a bit paranoid, but I can't help it. Lindsay keeps telling me that everything's alright, but Lindsay is also the one who broke up every single relationship Dave has ever had prior to me. I feel like Lindsay never wants to spend time with me anymore...just Dave, which is weird. Also, Lindsay does dance and she went behind my back and asked Dave to do a dance recital with her and never mentioned anything to me (even after my friend told her to ask me before asking Dave to see if I was alright with it). She always talks about times her and Dave had together and are still having! Nothing bad, but it freaks me out because I'm not there. I don't want to loose my boyfriend or best friend. What should I do? And by the way, I've tried to tell Lindsay how I feel but she says, ';You're too controlling. Let Dave do what he wants. You don't even understand what a relationship is..Dave can have crushes on other girls.'; She basically tells me how MY relationship should go.What do you do when your best friend is flirting with your boyfriend (who is also his best friend)?
Get to know them better. This is not a task only to be accomplished through dating. The more you get to know him or her, the more you can tell if you like them as a friend or something else. Just talk and do fun activities with the person.


Stop and consider why you like the person. There are many physically attractive and smart people out there. But if you see something beyond that really catches your attention, you've marked this person as unique and probably like them. Why else would they stand out from so many?


Consider how many times you think about the person. If you find yourself thinking about this person several times a day, and they are happy thoughts that possibly make your heart beat faster, then you probably like them.


Think how often you laugh at their jokes etc. When you like someone, you will find yourself laughing at things even if they aren't that funny. This is a natural attempt to make them feel appreciated.


If the one conversation between you and the person is stuck in you head and you cant stop telling people about it. this means it was important to you, and you probably like the person.


Consider how much you try to be near them. If you've planned your walking speed to catch a glimpse of them as many times of the day as possible, there is a good reason for that.


Think about how you feel if you touch him or her, by accident or on purpose. If you're still thinking about brushing shoulders several hours ago in school, then that is a special thought and you probably like them.


If you feel you're ready for a relationship, and are confident enough for a positive response, then just go ahead and ask them out. If you're unsure of their feelings for you, there are several wikihows on how to tell if someone likes you.What do you do when your best friend is flirting with your boyfriend (who is also his best friend)?
