One of my worst fears is my best friend getting a girlfriend because I don't want him to spend more time with her than me. I don't want to hear the excuse "my girlfriend wants to hang out" when I want us to get together. It's bad enough that he's barely available anyway. I really want to spend more time with him.
You can't control what other people do and if you try it will probably only drive him away from you and to her more. A year or two ago my brother started dating a girl I did not care for much. I cared for her even less when he stopped hanging out with me and his other friends to spend all his time with her, they are now living together and got married on some idiotic whim, and I've seen my brother maybe 3 times in the last year.
Normal to feel that, but it's not something you can control and if you care about your friend, why would you want to?
It's normal to fear losing people. I have a friend who I used to talk with all the time, and I still do, but I made a few new friends and I bet he feared I would forget about him, and he might've thought that. It's pretty normal to fear losing a friend to a relationship, but if you're feeling that desire to the point of it being sexually, or even hurtful, just calm down and find somebody else to play some Call of Dudes with.
Normal to fear that. What so often happens is people get partners and especially if youre single you'll never see them again. So many of my (former) friends now have partners, spouses etc, I almost never or never see them at all now.
There's one friend who I occasionally see, but no matter what, he always has his partner with him. Sometimes I'd rather just hang out with him, but no... his partner is always there joined at the hip listening in to our boys only conversations.
You're powerless over whether or not your best friend gets a girlfriend.
