Hay well I am not a dating expert however I can relate to this. My best friend and me both had a thing for the same guy but she asked him first (she is a lot more outgoing then I am) but he said no to her and told her that he only sees her as a friend… skip forward a couple months and she still likes him but I have gone head over heels for the guy which has really put a strain on my friends relationship because she thinks I only like him because she did (which is NOT true) and that I’m only trying to take him away from her (which in NOT) which turns me into the boyish friend steeling b**ch. me and my guy where friends way before my (girlfriend) Meg even knew about my guy and when our relationship started moving forward from friendship to a little bit more (though I still don’t even know what we are considered which brings me to this site I want him to finally say what we are and commit) my friend Meg got jealous and its really hurt me. I know I must have hurt her too but I feel like this will make her feel that she can’t bring her boyfriends to meet me (even though I have my guy) out of fear that I will try to steal him even though it never happened in the first place but boyfriends can put a strain on friendships so my answer is that yes if your friend is insecure or feels like you have that kind of history it is possible
