Recently I've been the subject of two love triangles, i'm still kinda in one right now, it's weird, it's like I like the girl and the other guy likes the girl and we both know this but we don't say anything about it. What really upsets me is when the other guy that's supposed to be your friend, puts you down to get points with the girl. I think the best thing to do is to turn the triangle into a square by getting interested in another girl if you can't do that just be cool about it. Have you ever experienced something like this, what do you to in this type of situation?

obviously you have to fight him and beat him. in front of her. then taunt him and flex. works like a charm.

Never been in that situation. Personally I'd probably make my feelings known to the girl, if they were worth exposing, back off for a little bit and see what happens. No point in stressing over it if she's not interested in you OR him.

This reminds me of the time I was stuck in a love triangle with a woman and a man. We both loved her but, given that "sharing is caring" is thrown out the window in love, we both tried to win her heart.

Days passed, weeks passed, and no real progress was made. Fighting over spending time with her, trying to one-up each other in giving gifts to her when a holiday rolled around, and even physical altercations had certainly taken their toll on the entire debacle of a three-way relationship. Eventually, we all knew that something had to be done before we all would be at each other's throats with steak knives.

So I ran off with the man and we spent sweet, passionate time together.

And then I broke up with him.

No, they are not worth exposing. I only like her a little, there are other girls. He's more into her than I am, it's just awkward cause we know we both like her.

Well then it's simple, just back off and find someone else.

I'm not sure how you pronounce it or anything, but I believe it's...menage à trois?

Well then pretty much the same as you. Depends how much I like the girl as to whether or not I say something, then I'd probbaly just back off a little bit so she didn't think I was "trying", but not so much that she thought I was avoiding her or not interested in her in any other way.

Physical height stops being intimidating once you realize that it's easier for short people to punch you in the groin.

I learned that fact when a 4'2" guy knocked me in the grapefruits because I took the last can of Chunky's Beef Soup at the supermarket.

Ha I was joking, but sure. I can see that. However, it is pretty scary to have someone who's got 5 inches and a good 30 lbs on you staring you down.... :P

Personally I don't see why it should affect your actions, which is why it was included as part of my response (though I didn't specifically mention it). If me and a friend liked the same girl then I'd only tell her if I really liked her, but I don't think I'd be trying to make a move before my friend could (or to spite my friend or get the upper hand), rather, I'd just make my thoughts known to her, so that she can make hr own decision (the reason why I would back off a little bit from her).

You can't help who you have feelings for, but if it might affect other relationships you can choose to act on them with more tact than simply trying to get in before smeone else has a chance. But that's just me. I don't try very hard with girls anyway.

If I see myself in a love triangle. I just be myself. I don't try to outshine anyone or prove how good I am. But if it doesn't work out I say screw it and leave.

Not when you can make them a falsetto with a swift kick in the nethers.

Either eliminate the opposition or stop wasting your time with the situation.

Just focus on your own game instead of always trying to outplay the other guy.. If you are dating a woman that is above 8, there will always be some other guys who will try to compete with you.. That's unavoidable, just ignore them and don't be bothered by it.. Show some air of confidence.. Know the girl well and work from there..

It doesn't sound like much of a triangle if the girl isn't interested in either of you, it's just two guys who aren't getting any play.thegerg

Well, my advice is to make these triangles overlap and then--HEY PRESTO--you have a love hexagram.

it depends if I like the other person in the triangle. I'd probably let them stick around. IF not, I'd eliminate them.
