6 Things to Do When You and Your Friend Like the Same Girl

4. Discuss it

Encourage your friend to be honest about his feelings and views on this whole issue. Sit down and have a frank talk about it because communication makes a lot of things clear. Shoving the issue under the carpet will only result in confusion.

5. Don’t make the girl a bet

Guys think it’s macho to make a girl a trophy and challenge each other to win her over. Don’t start a betting game, because firstly, it will create bitterness among the both of you. Secondly, if and when the girl finds out about such immature tactics, she will not want to have anything to do with both, you and your friend.

6. Promise to be friends no matter what

Lay a ground rule and follow the bro code, as has been made famous by the character of Barney Stinson from the TV sitcom, How I met your mother, about bros before hoes. This means that whether you both lose the girl or any of you gets her, friendship should matter the most and not get strained because of women. Take an oath to maintain good relations no matter what the outcome.
