Thanks Brandy Shirley for your nice comment. It is funny though, I call the relation "More then Friendship and less then Love". There is a religious barrier between us, therefore, there is not possibility to take the relation farther. The other friend I am talking about is of her religion but there is no possibility to take the relation farther too, as she is already having a boyfriend to whom she is going to be married next year who now lives in UK. We don't have any religion complex.
I met the man the day before yesterday and I found him smart, social, easy going and good enough and this is what making me afraid of losing my friend. I behaved with him very well as if he is known to me for years and my friend was wondered to see us.
I feel that she will hang out with him one day. (I know it is very silly to think like this way).
Would you please help me to get rid of this type of silly thought and keep our relation OUT OF QUESTION?

How are You "Really" Feeling? by: Brandy Shirley, M.A.
Hi Dipto,
Thanks for taking the time to post your questions.
After reading your concerns, I'm beginning to wonder if you're having more feelings for this friend than you are admitting.
Jealousy is a nasty emotion! It rips your heart out and stops on your dignity. However, underneath this jealousy is another feeling that you are not addressing. For instance, are you having romantic feelings for this friend? Do you want to take this relationship further? Are you afraid that John will take these opportunities away from you?
Your jealousy is a sign that you need to get honest with yourself and with your friend of 3 years. When you start speaking your truth, this issue will no longer "Drive You Crazy!"
