NoProblem agony auntThe best thing to do is tell guy1 that you are really good friends but that is all you think and want because you have a boyfriend. And you love you boyfriends, also they are good m8s so he should know if he feels anything he has to keep it to himself.

You should also tell your boy friend about this as guy1 can feel upset and tell you boyfriend things that have happen between you which actually havnt. This may not happen but it can so be aware.

Also just try to make it clear to guy1 you just want to be friends and that is it. I suggest you tell your boyfriend first but tell him not to say anything. Then you tell guy1 so that he cannot try to lie your boyfriend.

Good luck.

Look forward to a follow up.

You need to tell guy 1 that you like him as a good friend but you have a boyfriend and love him. If you can't tell him straight up then maybe keep talking about how amazing a boyfriend your boyfriend is and hope he gets the hint? It's not good when you begin to feel uneasy about someone because even if you enjoy the conversations you get a knot in your stomach about simply seeing them.

Would it really be a good idea to tell your boyfriend about this? Because you aren't cheating on him and if guy 1 is good friends with your boyfriend it could ruin their friendship... But as I tend to say, if it feels right to tell him then you should. Trust your gut instinct!

Hope that has been of some help! Good luck!
