I had a crush on a female friend who was dating my male friend.

This Troper was once involved in one. (Names changed to protect the innocent) I liked one guy, Alan, another dude, Bob liked me. Alan and I were JustFriends, and I barely even knew Bob. This went on for about six months, until finally I told Alan how I felt. He liked me after all, Retconing Bob to be a RomanticFalseLead.

It's only a triangle if Alan liked Bob, otherwise it's just a straight line with 3 nodes.

Under TriangRelations, it counts.

This is a rather interesting one. I (A) became deeply attracted to a girl (B) during my Freshmen year of college but she was dating Guy (C). After I met her boyfriend, he and I started to become good friends to the point that it became something of a bromance. At the same time Girl became so fond of me that she decided we should be girlfriends (at this point I should point out that I am male and straight, but I am really really effeminate and have been described as androgynous before). So to sum up this triangle: A loves B and has bromance with C, B loves C and considers A to be a girlfriend, and C loves B and has bromance with A. It's closest to a type 4 when it comes to romantic love but in essence I think it's more like and 8.

I am currently in one, although a generally uncomplicated one that might just be TriangRelations. I'm absolutely, madly, in love with a girl who, for pretty good reasons, can't be in a relationship now. LoveHurts. A good friend of mine, who recently moved away, was her boyfriend, who she loved (on his side, though, it was probably just lust), until he cheated on her. Now, he's either in love with her or thinks he is, and has been sending her messages that he loves her and would like to go back to her when he's back in the area (which will be in a few months). A part of me is completely sure that he'll be rebuffed, but another part is terrified that something might happen between them, in which case I may have to murder them both.

This troper was involved in a love triangle a while ago and didn't even realize it until after the fact. Going by attraction only, I was a basic 4a, although incorporating loyalty lines would make me a 6a or possibly an 11b.

This troper is currently involved in one, in a weird sort of way. Names hidden (duh), let's just say I, Bob, like Alice. Alice liked me for a long time, and only recently did I realize I like her back. But she got scared by the prospect of such a serious relationship and is now in what she sees as a less serious relationship with Chris. Unfortunately, Alice still seems (trust me, there's a darn good reason to think so) to like Bob (me). I sort of know Chris, well enough to know he's a good guy and will probably treat her well. Suffice to say, it's a dumb triangle. It could best be classified as a type 7 under TriangRelations since I don't know Chris very well.

This troper is currently involved in one...and it sucks. This troper liked B since 1 or 2 months,but B had a girlfriend. Girlfriend,who This Troper will call C,broke up with him. He was depressed since it was a long relationship. After 1 or 2 months,B likes This Troper. Then C wants him back,but he loves both C and This Troper,so B can't decide.

Mine was... strange. It started out as type 8: I was best friends with Charlotte, and she was together with Alex who was another friend. They were polygamous, but I never cared since they didn't talk about it much. At some point we entered type 12, with them trying to get a type 11. They kept amplifying Alex' attractiveness, Charlotte hinted that she didn't mind sharing him, she got annoyed whenever I pointed out a flaw in my otherwise praise of her art and fics, Alex would regularly give me compliments that at times got strange for being just friendly ones, I got treated like an idiot when I didn't agree with their opinion... There's a ''lot'' more, most that only got obvious in hindsight but I don't want this to get too long. Basically they expected me to magically become attracted to Alex so we could enter a relationship, and I was supposed to just agree with Charlotte no matter what and never think for myself. I suspect me not complying and putting my foot down on some things is the reason why they haven't contacted me in a year.

This troper's friends were involved in one, say Anna, Billy, and Cheryl. It goes like this: Anna and Cheryl liked Billy, who is Oblivious to Love, and perhaps with an addition of Chaste Hero too. Things get complicated because Anna and Cheryl are best friends. What's really memorable though, is the way they decided to wrap things up. Anna and Cheryl both confessed to Billy, consecutively during lunch break, with Billy refusing them both.

ThisTroper and another guy both happen to like the same girl. She is oblivious to my crush and doesn't like him, so it's a type 3 triangle for us.
#77951
This troper has a nice little type 4 going on, of the aware but doesn't reciprocate variety. She insists we face it and talk about it, though, which is an interesting extra spin, I suppose, and somehow the friendship is (for the moment) pretty much completely intact. Anyway, whatever, love hurts and makes you crazy.
#77952
This Troper has a type 5 LoveTriangle going on. He (A) has feelings for one of his best friends (B), who, in turn, still has feelings for a person that she had recently broken up with (C). C is completely unaware of A's existence. If his suspicions are correct, this turns into more of a "love Y-shape", as he thinks that he another of his best friends may have feelings for the same person.

I found myself in a type 6, which I'm trying to resolve. Basically I really like my best friend's girlfriend and would like to know her better, but out of loyalty to my friend I have to control my emotions. The fact that the girl in this is open to the idea of poly relationships makes a type 8 possible, but I'm not exactly holding my breath.
#77954
If anyone cared, it resolved itself, not in the way I was hoping, but I'll live.

This troper is somehow involved in two separate triangles... Okay. Here goes: (D)is a boy who has fancied me obsessively for several years. I used to like his best friend, (S), who years before also liked me back. Now I like (S) again, (S) likes me, but (D) likes me, and no one is willing to do anything because we're all far too loyal to one another as friends. Then we have Triangle 2: I fell in love with a boy, (H) and we dated for a year. After realising how much self-respect I had lost, and after time, I stopped loving him. Then, I started talking to his best friend (M) about the philosophical undertones of Inception, and we've been talking a lot. So (H) likes me, and I like his best friend (M), who probably doesn't reciprocate, whilst (D) likes me, I like (S) and (S) might like me back. I should go and write a soap opera...

This Troper was recently in a type 1 from TriangRelations. I fancied (P) and (S) for some time. I understood why I liked (P) because she's pretty, smart, cool, geeky and overall, just a close, good friend. But I have never understood why I like (S) at the same time at all. She was ok looking but annoying and not that close to me. I decided to wait it out and see if I'd drop either or both, and now I only like (P) like that. I might ask her out if these feelings turn out to be genuine.
#77957
Currently, I'm involved in two. I'm interested in my ex-girlfriend A, but she's still fawning over her ex-boyfriend B. I'm also head over heels for C; he's more interested in his ex, D.
#77958
This troper was also involved in one in the past: Guy A liked me, but I didn't even notice until much later because I was blinded by my interest in Guy B.
#77959
This troper is in a Type 1 currently, between a school friend (R) and one I met on an Internet chat forum (P). While for most of last year, R and myself could have been considered nigh-inseperable, we stopped talking for multiple reasons I will keep to myself (none of them bad, just private). I keep trying to talk to her again, but keep failing to mostly due to my own shyness and tendency to act like an idiot. With P, on the other hand, I've known her for about as long, is as close to her as I was with R, and we still talk regularly, though I'm not sure how we'd be able to maintain a relationship without even knowing what the other looks like, or how I'm sure neither of our parents would approve of an Internet relationship.

Type 10 currently happening in this troper's life. Well this troper thinks it is anyway.

Mine's quite complex for a 3-sided Triangle (redundancy intended). I, Cliff, have a best friend, Brian, who dates a girl, Annie, who happens to also be a very good friend of mine, and I already knew her when they started dating. I(Cliff) always had a crush for Annie, but I kept this feeling secluded because I didn't want to harm their relationship and my friendship with both. However, they broke up one day, despite still liking each other, since both wanted freedom for a while. On the same day they broke up Annie went to my house to talk about it, and we happened to make out. It was fuckin' awesome for both, and I discovered she also has always had the hots for me but hid it for the exact same reasons. However, I felt terrible for Brian because when I talked with him about what happened, he had quite a BSOD, and then realized how much he really loved Annie. This was mutual, and after some conflicts and uncertainties from all sides, we happily accepted it since both me and Annie realized that what we felt for each other, apart from the deep friendship, was only lust. Now their relationship is as strong as ever and my friendship with each of them too. We like to metaphorize that their relationship was like an old, cranky building: Trying to repair its structure wouldn't do much, so the best solution was to demolish it and build a new one in place. I happened to be the dynamite.

Oh, and a quite bizarre addendum: Now I'm dating Daniela, Annie's best friend!

This Troper is currently the B in a case of Type 5 (possibly soon to become Type 4) TriangRelations. Basically, she (very obviously) likes her (male) friend, who may like her back but may want to stay JustFriends. As far as I know, neither of us has ever dated anyone else (we are both high school freshmen). Meanwhile, another friend, a sophomore who is something of a LeisureSuitLarry with a reputation for going after freshman girls, has begun making equally obvious moves toward her, asking her out for supposedly non-romantic (or at least, not officially said to be romantic) outings, which this troper keeps accepting. Lately he has started to try to be romantic more and more, meaning as of now, this troper is kind of avoiding him. As a complete outcast with few friends and no boys ever looking twice at me at my old school, this is definitely coming off as BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor - frankly, I'm sick of it.
#77964
This Troper confesses that you, however unlikely, remind me of a female friend of mine. This concerns me, honestly. I hope that you're who I think you are, and not a certain person.
#77965
This Troper was B in a Type 3, Love interest was A and her childhood friend was C. B (Troper) and C both love A. A isn't sure who she loves, few years later C asks A out of the blue to marry him. She thinks about but rejects him because she realises that she loves B. A & B get engaged and have twins, C ends up a UnluckyChildhoodFriend.
#77966
This troper was involved in a type 4 {{Love Triangle}}, according to TriangRelations. Ended when the guy in the relationship broke up with his girlfriend, claiming to be gay, but sadly, AllLoveIsUnrequited, as this troper cannot get this boy out of her head.
