Shouldn't Your Mate Be Your Best Friend?

I later admitted that this bothered me. Let's face it. It's like she's his girlfriend, even though he says that he's not been intimate with her. So I explained how I was feeling. Suddenly his story changes a bit. "Trina, you're mistaken. Our friendship isn't like that. I'm not attracted to her in that way, and her boyfriend knows about me." Huh? GEE, doesn't that sound a bit different from what he said the first time? When he realized I was bothered by it, his story changed and he down played it, totally contradicting what he'd first said...when I think he was being more honest.
It feels like he's dating her & I at the same time, regardless of her boyfriend in another state. Frankly, I feel as though your mate should be your best friend. Otherwise, why be with that person in the first place? Sure, we've not been dating very long, but still. He told me about her probably so I'd know. If he wanted me to know, then it's probably because he doesn't want to lose his best friend because of me. And in all fairness to me (about the statement above), he practically admitted that he's attracted to her and made it sound like the only reason he's not with her is because he quote word for word says, "Because I don't think that she's interested in me." Uh huh. Any thoughts on the subject?
