Friends dating leaves me to be the third wheel.

My experience of this in the past has usually been where I was only good friends with one of them to start with. Then once they got a girlfriend I'd be ignored for a while, but then after the 'honeymoon period', as people have mentioned, I'd hang out with both of them together quite often, usually becoming friends with their girlfriends too. I have a lot of experience being the third wheel lol, usually it's not too bad but I know exactly what you mean about feeling a bit lonely... So yeah I'd just wait and give them their own time for a bit, then once they're past that they'll probably be normal, or at least more normal, if you hang out with them again.

I did experience this. Well, I was like the reason why they met and why they have been a couple. We work in the same office and the girlis a very good friend of mine and the guy was my team mate and when they started going out, they would normally invite me and I was like their daughter. There was only one time that I felt left out and that was when they were getting serious and it was like "you and me against the world".. I got bothered but they realized it was wrong since I was not listening to them anymore. I am kinda cranky at times. Our common friends said that they were just in the "honeymoon phase" where they think of each other only, want to be with each other only, stuff like that and will eventually pass. So, what I did was I stopped hanging out with them for awhile.I spend time with other friends and spend with my boyfriend as well. And a few months after, they invited me over and it feels like it was normal again. Now, if I am bored, I go to their place and they would buy me food and let me sleep in their place.

Sweetie, if your friends didn't want you to come along, they wouldn't ask you to. I used to be the third wheel too when I was in my late teens and early twenties and it didn't bother me one bit because the three of us had such a great time when we got together. We did so many things that we shouldn't have done and had a load of fun and we've made a lot of memories that I'll cherish. So just go along with it and loosen up some and you'll see, they're still the same people before they got together as a couple.

I used to be best friends with a couple. I was always the third wheel. That didn't take away from my having a good time and you shouldn't let it take away from yours. If you must be the third wheel, be the big wheel on a tricycle.

This has happened to me before and it's quite vexing. I just tried to avoid being around when the two were together. Honestly I suggest yo talk to them abou it. Tell them that you understand that they like each other but if they want t be together they shouldn't nvite you because you obviously feel awkward. That's what I told my friends and they understood where I was comng from.

I just stop hanging out with any of my friends that become an item. It's way too annoying to see them make out in public and just drag me along. Maybe invite them over to watch netflix if they aren't gonna be all PDA in front of you.

I remember when my friends got together and the guy suddenly made me HER friend only. It was so uncomfortable when they'd be making out in front of me. Finally, I just left and I think we just stopped hanging out as a group and the guy rarely hanged out w me anymore. I don't think there is a solution but just to hang out with them individually.. but it always gets complicated in situations like this.

If you really feel that you are being left behind or if you feel like you are the third wheel every time you go out, you should tell them. They may be more sensitive and will not invite you when they meant to have a date. You three can go out when all you will do is strictly "friends" activity. In this way you will not feel like a third wheel.

There are three people and their are best freinds,but one day,two of them became a couple,it is a sad story to the left one.but not always be in that feeling,go out and found new friends.

In all honestly, if I were you, I would just find something to occupy myself. These romances never work and sadly they probably won't remain friends afterwards. You should attempt to make new friends if they want to exclude you or make you feel akward. It is a friends duty to keep the bond strong and honesty open but if you tell them how you feel I doubt they will see the point. They will more than likely take offense and point accusing fingers. I've been here several times and just learned its easier to ride things out and do my own thing instead of letting them make me feel weird while their playing tonsil hockey and etc.
