Her Best Friend In Real Life Has Been Flirting With Her Best Friend Online And She’s Afraid It’s Not Going To End Well
A 21-year-old woman has a best friend in real life who is 23 and frequently uses dating apps to boost her confidence.
Her friend always talks to guys on the apps, and as soon as they dish out praise, she cuts off contact with them.
Her friend’s only reason for using the dating apps is to get attention, and she never has any interest in going out on a date with any of the guys that she speaks with.
Not that long ago, she decided to introduce her best friend in real life to the best friend she has online, who is a 24-year-old guy.
Unfortunately, her best online friend used to date a girl that she considered to be a good friend of hers, and after they broke up she was forced to choose between them.
You can see who she did end up picking, and the breakup that her best online friend went through was tough on her too, as she had to give up a good friend of hers in the end.
She was quite sad about the whole thing and sobbed for weeks on end, and her best friend in real life is aware of the whole situation as she was the shoulder she cried on as she mourned her own loss.
So, anyway, she thought it would be a good idea to have her best friend in real life meet her best friend online, and it never occurred to her that her online best friend’s flirtatiousness would be something that caught the attention of her best friend in real life.
After introducing her friends, she was shocked to find out that they began texting one another nonstop without her knowing.

She also later saw the texts for herself after her best friend in real life said they should use her phone to call her best friend online.
“She hands me her phone and I do it, then I hang up and can see their messages which were…super cringey flirty texts, I’m talking middle school crush type vibes,” she explained.
“I felt grossed out so I just gave her phone back and pretended it didn’t happen. A month-ish later I confront her about it and she admits that she’s been flirting and using his compliments to boost her confidence.”
“Mind you, she is a pretty brutally honest person and has told me numerous times that she thinks he’s ugly. She’s belittled his looks a lot and I’ve had to shut her down because she gets excessively hurtful.”
Her best friend in real life promised to end the flirting with her best friend online, but that was just a lie.
Her best friend in real life did not stop at all, and she hasn’t decided to confront her about it again as she’s worried.
She’s upset that her best friend in real life is “using” her best friend online, and she’s also scared to be put in the middle of their relationship and possibly lose one of them.
She also feels terrible that her best friend in real life has chosen to do things behind her back and without her knowing.
She really wants to figure out a way to tell her best friend in real life to end things with her best friend online for good.
Do you think she should ask this of her best friend in real life, and if so, what’s the best way to confront her?
