Whenever I spend time with my best friend and his girlfriend, they are always kissing or cuddling. I feel awkward. Should they be the ones to stop or should I not be intruding?

Classic. This is a classic example of this. Textbook, really. Here's what you do: make a sock puppet, affix a picture of an attractive lady to the face region--I suggest Dame Judi Dench--and whenever the couple starts sucking face, just go "oh, my, Dame Dench, are you getting jealous? Do you want a kiss too?" Unless they have no shame whatsoever, I guarantee your friends will soon start sitting several feet apart whenever you're around.

Or stop hanging out with you. Okay, scrap that plan. Did you ever see the Seinfeld episode where he and his girlfriend of the moment keep calling each other "Shmoopy?" That was a funny episode.

The reason I can afford to kill so much time being hilarious or reminding you of hilarious things is that the answer to your question is as simple as it is mysterious: It depends. Society will accept a certain degree of public affection. If your friend is keeping up his end of that social contract, then his only real crime is ignoring you, which you can deal with as you normally would (calling him gay, punching him in the shoulder, and swallowing your sadness).

If your guy and his gal pal are sucking face in a manner unbefitting anyone but horny teenagers, then you can consider yourself slighted. Here's the rub though: either way, don't bring it up. Because honestly, the same chemicals telling your friend to jam his mouth at this girl will tell him that you are an asshat if you so much as glance unfavorably in the direction of their pure, incorruptible love.

Any time a bro falls hard for a girl, you've got to expect to lose some QT with them. Men love their women, and they tend to redistribute their time accordingly. It's not fair to you, necessarily, but in my experience trying to alter that course is like spitting into the wind. It sounds like a great idea, but you just end up with spit on your face.

My best real world advice would be to wait it out. It rarely keeps up for more than a few months. Let him be; spend some time with friends you may not see as much. And if you're feeling totally ignored or have no other friends, then it might not hurt to carefully bring it up sometime you're alone with your buddy.

But NEVER bring it up while they're making out. Because no man will choose "stop making out to have awkward discussion" over "tell friend to fuck off and keep making out." Pretty much ever.

So you're opposed to the public fire house method?

Never heard of it. Do tell, experienced one. Unless it means peeing on your friend. Then keep it to yourself.

I think this goes both ways. My boyfriend and I snuggle on the couch while my housemate is in the room. She often jokingly makes jabs, but we all know that every joke is about half truth.

This almost sounds like one of my friends. My boyfriend and I will cuddle on the couch but we don't kiss in front of him. He has even voiced...awkwardly that he feels like the third wheel. I think that if they are making out in front of this person, its wrong. Why do that. You could actually make them feel uncomfortable. But i don't see anything wrong with the occasional peck....am I wrong in this?

I've been in a similar situation, but I was very busy doing something else while they were making out in McDonald's on a Monday morning, skipping school.

The only thing I suggest is get yourself occupied. It looks weird to you when someone else does it, but you kinda like it when they see you (if you're into that, I'm not).

My friend does that all the time! I jut tell them no sex in my house, parkinglot, hall, or where ever we are and they back off laughing. I do this to tons of people I know. I also enjoy just getting inbetween them. It may seem akward, but they wont forget it thats for shure. On the plus side If you get in between them they more than likely wont go too far around you again.

But hye thats jut my opinion on the situation ^__^

Hahaha now I feel kinda guilty because I do that at my boyfriends apartment all the time with his friends. Okay, I'm not that bad, but a lot of the time his buddies will be like "Ohhh Nicky Poo!! Where's my kiss cuddle bunny?" and it gets so awkward we stop. Personally, I like the sock puppet idea. TOTALLY giving that one a try :)

My bestie, actually kind of a new one, but I've told him he's my bestie, just got a new girlfriend. She's cool enough, and we get along, but they are cuddling all the time! The other night, him and I were working on a study guide for an ethics midterm, and she came over. So I was at the computer, and to my right they were cuddling (lying down) on his bed. It was so awkward for me! And I was so mad! He knows that I'm very self-conscious when it comes to sex and relationships, and that I'm very self-conscious in general. And yet it's like he's rubbing his relationship in my face. UGH! It's really hard to hang out with him right now...
