Ok so

I just started school up again last week (ish)

And now my friend is dating someone. Good for her, I'm happy for her, y'know?

But her partner went up to me and straight-up asked me if my friend would be okay in a poly relationship.

I said 'what? I don't know, talk to (friend) about that.'

To be clear, I have no issues with polyamory and three + people in a relationship, as long as they are happy and healthy and all love each other.

But it's not for me.

So my friends partner turns to me again and says 'how do I go about telling (friend)?'

I said that they should talk to (friend) and see their reaction to it, and if the reaction is positive, then continue from there. Do not make my friend feel forced into a poly relationship because you want it.

And they said okay.

And then they told me that they had a crush and was also dating someone.

They then confessed their feelings to *me*. Not okay.

I didn't want to keep this from my friend, so I told her immediately. I said that I would need time to think and I probably wouldn't be going into a poly relationship because 1. I barely know my friends partner, and 2. My friend has been my friend for years, I don't want to ruin that friendship over a relationship.

So me and my friend are freaking out. We'll be talking on Monday to friends partner to get their reaction to the fact that neither of us are okay with this.

I'm scared that if my friend breaks up with them, they'll come crawling to me instead to try and date me.

What do I do??
