does my bf's friend like me? should i avoid him? or am i just imagining things. i'm just nervous because bf told me this friend is coming to visit us next month. i have no friends irl or even any family really so i can't talk about this with anyone, and i obviously can't talk about it with my bf.

the main thing that has made me nervous about him is one situation that happened a while ago. us three were all at an event (i came with bf and his friend also happened to be there), and when i mentioned something about my sis to my bf, the friend got really curious, and even more curious when i said she's my twin. he started asking questions about her and (although in a joking sort of tone) speaking about how he'd like to take her on a date and that sort of stuff. at this point i didn't really sense anything too weird, but right before he switched the topic he said something like "i'd never mind being around an attractive woman", and if i was following the conversation right there was no way he didn't say that about my sister who he's never seen/met.

since then i started seeing his behavior in a different way, although it could just be him acting normally and maybe me reading too much into things. like glancing at me from behind my bf when my bf is talking (he doesn't seem to do much eye contact, otherwise i wouldn't notice this stuff). but i guess i can just ignore this because the last time this friend visited us (this was after that situation i explained above had happened), nothing weird happened at all and it was pretty boring actually. my bf and he talked to and focused on each other 99% of the time while i was kind of just chilling by myself with them in the living room or by myself in the bedroom.

>>33363349 (OP) You should avoid any man that is not your man. If you need a pen, ask for a pen, but that's it. No chat or whatever. Value your man.

it's not an ideal situation
1. i have no friends and thanks to that generally never say no if i'm invited anywhere
2. my bf likes to invite me everywhere with him, especially if there are friends of his present there as well
i kind of avoid talking to this friend already but i still feel kinda nervous around him ngl.

Why not? That's exactly what you should be doing.

i am too awkward and i like to avoid confrontation unless it's unavoidable
but it's also how my bf has been like about this. he doesn't seem to care basically. one time he mentioned that semi-compliment i mentioned in my post that his friend gave me during a conversation (when i was having one of these "i'm average and i think you my bf are more attractive than me" moments outloud), and my bf used that as a sort of example like "see even my friend thinks you're attractive". so i don't know if i should even bring this up/does he even want me to bring it up.
