1. Who do You like Better?
When you are in the middle of a love triangle, you have to keep your thoughts in check and figure out who exactly you like better. Things like a personality meshing, how well you know someone and how you get along with someone are all key items. Ladies, love triangles aren't fair to anyone involved, so you want to make sure that you are making a decision based on who you like better.
***
Love triangles can be difficult to navigate, especially when two people are vying for the same person’s attention. It’s important to remember that this type of situation is not only unfair to the person in the middle, but it can also be emotionally damaging to the two people on the outside.
If you find yourself in a love triangle, it’s important to take a step back and assess the situation objectively. Consider the personalities of the people involved and how well you know them. Ask yourself if one person is more compatible with you than the other.
It’s also important to take into account the feelings of all parties involved. If the person in the middle is not sure who they like better, it’s important to respect their wishes and not pressure them into making a decision.
If you’re the one in the middle of the triangle, it’s important to stay true to yourself and your feelings. Don’t let yourself be swayed by the opinions of others. It’s also important to remember that it’s okay to take some time to think about who you like better.
2. The Connection Matters
Relationships are not easy to be in. You are truly meshing two different personalities together and the connection that you have with that other person really does matter. If you find that you have a better connection with one guy over the other, it might be a better option to go with him as your boyfriend!
***
The connection between two people in a relationship is essential for it to work. It is not just about compatibility, but also the ability to communicate and understand each other. When two people have a strong connection, it is easier to work through any issues that arise.
A love triangle is a complicated situation to be in, and can be a source of stress and anxiety. It is important to take the time to evaluate the connection you have with each of the people involved. If you find that you have a stronger connection with one person over the other, it may be wise to pursue a relationship with them instead.
It is also important to consider the feelings of the other people involved in the love triangle. This can be a difficult conversation to have, but it is important to be honest about your feelings and be respectful of the other person's feelings.
It is also important to think about the long-term implications of your decision. Is this someone you can see yourself with in the future? Do you have similar values and goals? These are important questions to consider when making a decision about a love triangle.
Finally, it is important to remember that you are not alone in this situation. Talk to trusted friends and family members and get their advice.
Frequently asked questions
First of all, don't panic! Take a deep breath and give yourself some time to think. It's important to focus on your feelings and what you really want. Communication is key, so try talking to both parties involved to understand their feelings too.
It’s a tough situation, but you need to think about who makes you happiest in the long run. Consider your future, your values, and who you see by your side. Sometimes writing down the pros and cons can help. But ultimately, follow your heart.
Absolutely, feeling guilty is very common. You're in a tricky spot, and it's normal to feel conflicted. Try to be as honest and considerate as you can, with yourself and the others involved. Remember, everyone's feelings are valid here.
Honestly, it’s challenging. Love triangles often lead to hurt feelings and complicated dynamics. If everyone involved is open to communication and compromise, maybe. But usually, it’s healthier to resolve the triangle sooner rather than later.
Workplace love triangles can be super tricky! Try to keep things professional and set some boundaries. Focus on your job and keep personal feelings separate as much as possible. If things get too awkward, maybe talk to someone in HR or consider whether this is the right workplace for you.
3. Personality Matching
The connection is of course important, but his personality connecting and meshing well with yours is important. If you're going to be with someone, you should probably have some personality common ground, such as your sense of humor. If you can't think that a guy is funny or can't understand his sense of humor, that isn't going to make for a good relationship at all!
***
Personality matching is an important factor to consider when dealing with love triangles. It’s important to find someone who meshes well with your own personality. This includes a shared sense of humor, similar interests, and compatible values. If you can’t find common ground with someone, it’s unlikely the relationship will last.
Personality matching is a great way to determine if someone is right for you. It’s important to take the time to get to know someone before entering a relationship. Talk about your interests, values, and goals. Discuss your hopes and dreams for the future. Doing this will help you determine if the person is right for you and if they can offer what you’re looking for in a relationship.
It’s also important to pay attention to how you feel when you’re around the person. If you feel comfortable and happy, that’s a good sign. If you feel anxious or uncomfortable, it’s probably not a good match.
4. Be Honest
One of the biggest mistakes that most girls make when they are in a love triangle is not being honest with themselves. When you are in a situation like this, you have to make sure that you are honest with your feelings. That you really and truly figure out who is going to like you and treat you best!
***
When it comes to dealing with a love triangle, honesty is key. It can be hard to be honest with yourself when you are in a situation like this, but it is necessary in order to make the best decision for yourself. It is essential to take the time to really think about what you want and who will make you the happiest.
When it comes to love triangles, it can be difficult to know what to do. You may feel like you have to choose between two people, but that doesn't always have to be the case. It is important to remember that you have the power to make the decision that is best for you and that you should not feel pressured to make a choice that you are not comfortable with.
It is also important to remember that communication is key. You should talk to both parties involved in the love triangle and make sure that everyone is on the same page. This will help to ensure that all parties involved are being honest and that no one is feeling taken advantage of.
5. Evaluate Your Feelings
Being honest also means that you have to evaluate your feelings and see who you truly do like better. Whether it is because the connection is better or because you just like one guy over the other, you want to make sure that you are really exploring your feelings. After all, you owe each guy that.
***
When evaluating your feelings in a love triangle, it is important to be honest with yourself and the people involved. Consider the connection you have with each person and how you feel about them. Think about how you interact with each person and how you feel when you are with them. Ask yourself if you have a stronger connection with one person over the other.
In addition, think about what kind of future you could have with each person. Consider the qualities that each person has and how they make you feel. Think about how they make you laugh, how they make you feel safe, and how they make you feel loved. Ask yourself if one person has qualities that the other one doesn’t have.
It is also important to consider the importance of communication in any relationship, especially when dealing with a love triangle. Talk to each person involved and be honest with them about your feelings. Ask them questions about their feelings and listen to their answers. This will help you to gain a better understanding of the situation and make a better decision.
6. Talk about It
If you are still at odds about which guy you are going to choose in your love triangle, talking about it always makes a huge difference! Whether it is with a close-knit group of friends or you are thinking about talking about it with your family, make sure that you have some sort of support group!
7. Do It for You
You might want to get out of the position you're in as quickly as possible, but this isn't something to take likely. Your decision affects three people, not just one, but when it comes down to it this is a decision that has to be made for you. Don't think about how the other people will feel in the end, think about yourself. Of course, this doesn't mean be cruel to the other people involved, but understand that this is about you.
***
When it comes to dealing with a love triangle, it is important to remember that the decision should ultimately be made for yourself. It is easy to get caught up in the emotions of the situation, but it is important to remember that the decision will affect three people, not just one. It is important to be considerate of the other people involved, but ultimately the decision should be made for yourself.
It is important to remember that there is no “right” or “wrong” way to go about this situation. It is a personal decision that should be made with careful consideration and thought. It is important to remember that this is not a decision that should be taken lightly, and it is important to take the time to consider all the implications and consequences of the decision.
It is important to remember that it is okay to take your time in making this decision, and it is important to remember that it is okay to reach out for help if needed. Talking to a trusted friend or family member can provide an outside perspective and can help to provide clarity and guidance.
8. Repercussions?
Does choosing one or the other impact your life in any big way? Do your friends or family hate one of the people that you're stuck between? These are things you have to consider when making this choice. When it comes down to it, this is your choice, but you need to think about people in your life. Having a significant other that you parents hate could make your life harder, think about if your choice is worth the repercussions.
***
When dealing with a love triangle, it is important to consider the repercussions of your decision. If you choose one option, how will it affect your family and friends? Will they be accepting of your choice or will they disapprove? It is also important to consider if your decision will have a negative impact on your life in any way. You may be in a situation where you are stuck between two people, but ultimately it is your decision to make.
It may be beneficial to talk to your family and friends about the situation. They may be able to provide insight on the situation that you may not have considered. Additionally, it is important to think about the long-term implications of your decision. Will you be able to maintain a healthy relationship with the person you choose? Will your relationship with your family and friends be affected?
When it comes to making a decision in a love triangle, it is important to take your time and think through all the possible implications. Talk to people in your life who care for you and who may be affected by your decision. Make sure that your decision is worth the repercussions.
9. Remove Yourself
Take yourself out of the situation. You need time to be alone and figure out what you want. If you tell the other people this and they aren't accepting of what you need, then you shouldn't be with either of them anyway. You're in a tough spot and you need to have a clear head to think. Spending time with either of them could make things more confusing, so take some time alone.
***
Stepping back can be a cathartic process. Breathe in some fresh air and allow your emotions to settle. Solitude is your ally in gaining clarity—use this time to reflect on your own needs and what you truly value in a relationship. Scribble down your thoughts, if that helps. Remember, this isn’t about being selfish; it's about taking care of your heart. In the stillness away from the drama, listen to your inner voice—it often knows the way out of the maze.
10. Acceptance
There are a few things you're going to have to accept here. The situation you're in is hard and it's going to suck sometimes. The other thing you need accept is that in the end, you have to make a choice. I'm a very indecisive person, so if you're like me you'll be tempted to drag this decision out, but you need to accept that in the end you need to make a choice.
***
Acceptance is an important part of dealing with a love triangle. It is important to accept that the situation you find yourself in is hard and that it will be difficult to deal with. It is also important to accept that in the end, you will have to make a decision. This can be a difficult step for those who are indecisive, but it is important to remember that no matter how long you take to make a decision, you will eventually have to make one.
It is also important to accept that the decision you make will have consequences. No matter which path you choose, there will be some level of pain and difficulty. It is important to accept that you may not be able to make everyone happy with your decision. You must accept that you will have to make a decision that is best for you.
Acceptance can also mean accepting help from those around you. It is important to remember that you don't have to go through this alone. Reach out to family and friends for help and support. They may be able to offer advice and help you make a decision.

Abby: I'm in a really complicated love triangle right now... Well the first guy his name is dominik and I've known him since 5th grade, but we haven't talked in two years and we've liked each other for about a year at the same time wich is completely amazing cause I've only been pretty for a year and a half and I'm not completely used to guys being like this around me but I definitely got flirting down. Hes shy and big and strong and funny and hot. And he's going to ask me out when highschool starts. The seconds name is Ryan and I've known him for about half a year. Surprisingly he never noticed me when I was ugly! Hes usually a real jerk to most people but ever since I sat at his table he's just been really nice and complimented me all the time and stares a lot. He's extremely funny and very, very hot and has super sexy lips! The only problems are he's small and skinny (but still taller then me) and I just wanna be friends with him and plus I do think that deep down inside he is gay... I never knew he liked me until one day I was talking about dominik in the same class as him and I guess he over heard me cause he never talked to me or sat by me again... And I really miss ryan and i really wanna be friends with him again but I know I can't cause I really love dominik... But I don't like shy guys cause I'm loud and Ryan's perfect for me but all my friends say Ryan's a jerk and dominiks perfect and I love him so much! Whatdo I do???!!!
Kaylee: How do I get the guy I like to like me back? He's got a gf but I'm so confused because ik he used to like me but then he was thinking about dumping his gf for me but didn't,&now its like I'm not even an option ./: anyway I can get to being an otion again?(I'm a freshman)
Alone: i have a boyfriend but i like my best friend my best friend really likes me but my friend really likes my best friend my boyfriend has no idea whats going on and i dont know either. i love my boyfriend but i dont like him. i like my best friend. i get butterflies when i see him, i get excited, i look forward to seeing him. and my boyfriend, i cry to, and we just do everything together. idontknow. its like my boyfriend and best friend switched places.
Bea: My problem is I love them both & they are both so different... They are not perfect but combined they would be the man of my dreams. I've tried to let them both go but they both continue to fight for my love & honestly I miss them both equally. How did this happen? Well after 7 months with bf#1 we had a fight & broke up for about a month when bf#2 came into my life & swept me off my feet... In the meantime bf#1 & I remained friends. 5 months after meeting bf#2 & I had a fight & he hurt me in ways that just are unacceptable no matter what caused the fight. If it was up to my friends & family they would prefer I choose bf#1 bcuz he would never hurt me the way bf#2 did. However, I'm happiest when I'm with bf#2. If I stay with bf#2 I will not have my fam's support which is important to me & I'm afraid if he hurts me again I won't have anyone in my corner to turn to. I feel torn bcuz my mind is telling me one thing & my heart another. If love had nothing to do with this I would have to agree with my family that bf#1 is the better choice... What do I do?
Anonymous: . I am involved in a love triangle and I want to say that it is not easy. I have nothing but utmost respect for both parties involved, but it's one of the hardest most intense things I have ever had to deal with. I never believed you could be in love with two people at the same time, I mean I truly did not think this was possible - it just seems wrong. But here I am in love with two of the best men I have ever known, my two bestfriends, who also happen to be very close friends. We all lived together in college, I met them when I was 19 and I'm 24 now. I've been in love with both of them for years, and they with me Although they are friends, the two are completely different. The first one, we'll call him Dennis, is currently living out of state for work, he's driven, super smart and successful and we have all the same interests as far as books movies and we are both very eco-friendly and enjoy that type of lifestyle. We laugh all day and can talk for hours on end on the phone, and do at least once a week. He said when we were 19 he thought I was his soulmate, and he still does. He recently asked me to move there when I graduate, I haven't given him a solid answer yet because I have no idea what to do. The second boy we will call Will. He's tricky, him and I have been very close since day 1. He's an introvert, doesn't open up a lot with most people but he does with me. When we first met it shocked him how much he told me without realizing it, I think it still does. He's the kindest person I know, caring and compassionate. While we've all been bestfriends for years Will knows everything about me, we got so close just sitting up for hours the two of us talking, learning every aspect of each others lives and personalities. Although both Will I and Dennis and I told eachother we loved eachother on a regular basis, I never knew he had feelings for me until after Dennis moved, about 8 months ago. We were laying in bed together, as I often do with both of them (and they know this), but this night he held me, usually we just passout like you would next to a friend. He hadn't done that before, and it felt so gentle and so loving. After a few minutes of lightly scratching my back, he kissed my forehead and while my brain was screaming "what are you doing your about to kiss Will this is not normal" my body just did its own thing and our mouths slowly collided and we kissed. And we kissed a lot, and it felt amazing. Then I made him stop - I felt guilty even though I'm not technically dating Dennis, it still doesnt make it right - and even though I asked him to stop its like we couldnt, both of us, until finally my brain had had enough and I made him stop again. Then I did something I had no control over, I held him again like we had been before and without any control over the words leaving my mouth I told him I loved him. He hugged me close and said "I love you too ____, I love you so much." I have to admit, we again kissed only this time it progressed. It did not go all the way. I'd like to leave out the details but you need to know that I did turn him down later that night in a less than classy manor and I'll regret it for a long, long time. I'm sure it offended him more than he will ever let on. That was 8 months ago and things are just such a mess right now. I felt guilty for months about what I'd done, confused about what had happen. Confused about what I always thought I wanted and what I now wanted. I stopped seeing Will, I didn't know how to act. Infact the next time I saw him was with Dennis about a month and 1/2 after that night when he came to visit and the 3 of us hung out. Awkward, but we played it off. What were we supposed to do? Technically I'm not, nor have I ever, dated one of them. I'm just in love with both of them... ugh. Around Christmas Will and I finally started hanging out again, I missed him, we missed eachother. We see eachother almost weekly now but it's changed, I waited to long to tell him the truth of how I felt. He thought I didn't like him so he was of course trying to move on. I told him about a month ago that I'm sorry but I can't get him out of my mind and I'm sorry about the way I acted after that night. Now he's all confused, neither of us know what to do. There's other people involved as well but in the core it's just us and its hard. We go out in a group and we're staring at eachother from across the bar, getting in petty fights, saying things we normally wouldn't, then we'll finally get some alone time and be able to talk and we always seem to end the conversation laughing, understanding, and loving one another. Just 3 nights ago we sat up with another friend talking for 4, maybe 5 hours. And then I don't see him for a few days or week and it goes back to him being introverted, slightly annoyed or angry seeming, until I get him alone face to face to talk it out. Plus I don't know what Dennis knows, or what to do about moving. I never told him 100% that I would but thats kind of always been the plan. At this point the only reason I would stay would be Will because I know it would be a great life with Dennis, and now I think that about Will too. And this coming from the girl who didn't want to fall in love until at least age 32.. shows you how much you can plan your own life.
