My best friend's boyfriend is flirting with me

Our Expert Says

Q: My best friend’s boyfriend likes chatting me up. He's very nice but I would prefer him to stop before he jeopardises our friendship. Should I tell my friend?

A: No, don't tell her. First, think about it: are you sure that he is chatting you up? If yes, you could either ignore it and he will eventually stop, or talk to him about it. Choose a time when you are all together; do not arrange a private conversation or there may be misunderstandings. Don't make a big thing of it. Tell him that you think he is nice and that you and your friend make a great couple, a couple that you are happy to count among your friends.
