Ok, so ... I'm in a kinda interesting situation right now. My boyfriend recently showed me a photo of his bestfriend of several years (we'd spoken about him a fair bit in the past). Now, that's not the problem. The problem is - out of a desire to get to know more about my boyfriend, I thought maybe I could chat to his best friend some. Seems logical, right? When I've asked him to pass my e-mail address on in the past he's been reluctant to do so, stating he wasn't sure how his friend would react to the idea. Then, out of curiousity, I did a search on facebook for his friend and came across a profile with someone who not only shares the same name as his bestfriend but has someone added with the same name as his best friends brother. So, casually, I decided to ask my boyfriend if his bestfriend had a facebook profile ... and he said no.
Now, here's my dilemma - do I message the friend on facebook, see if it's the same person and risk my boyfriend getting the wrong idea or do I leave it well enough alone and let my boyfriend make the first move of introducing us?
The thing is, my boyfriend has a -lot- of issues (that I don't really want to go into on a public forum) and part of me can't help but think that, on some level, he thinks that his bestfriend will "steal me away" if I get talking to him. I'll admit, his friend is handsome - he even admits it himself and says his friend gets a lot of attention from the ladies but I love my boyfriend and find it a little offensive if he thinks I could be stolen away so easily.
So .... yeah. Natural curiousity can be a bitch sometimes ....
