Your best friend has a new man. Sounds great, but what if you just don't like him? He may seem nice enough and treats her well, but you just can't shake that sense of dislike or irritation whenever he's around. It's confusing when you just can't make a connection with a person your friend, with whom you obviously have a connection and history, has gotten close to. First, take a look inside to examine your own motives for disliking him. Do you think he's not good enough for your friend? Perhaps you're a little jealous that she's happy in a relationship while you remain single. Or maybe he really is a jerk, and you're picking up on something no one else is. If you have a strange feeling in your gut about him, then you may have valid reasons for disliking him. But it's important to gather the facts instead of relying on your emotions if the truth about your feelings ever comes to light.
Until you have proof that your bestie's BF isn't the great guy she thinks he is, keep it to yourself, or you'll create major tension. In the meantime, try to find some common ground, whether it's a sports team, book, TV show, or an activity or hobby. Resist the temptation to find common ground talking trash about your BFF – that's not the way to go about things. And don't put yourself in situations where you're sure to be miserable, like being the third wheel on a date. Until your BFF cuts him loose – if she ever does – you're stuck with seeing him on occasion. Find ways to make those times bearable, and perhaps you'll warm up to each other in time.
