I don't know if I could give you any advice, frankly. It's a delicate situation. You know how he is as a person, and you are his friend (your romantic feelings aside). I mean, if she's told him that she has a man already, and they keep doing this...what exactly are you warning him about? Short of telling him "hey, friend, remember that she's with somebody, are you going to keep engaging/responding to her flirtation? Do you feel like that's the best or right thing to do?" he would seemingly be aware of what he's doing?

If your friend and this lady keep flirting, that's on them. And I say that not because you shouldn't care, but because a) some people don't view flirting while in a relationship an issue, others do; b) your friend is capable of making decisions (even if it sucks because it's not you he's directing the feelings toward, :C ) aka deciding how and whether or not to engage with her.

It's obvious you care and don't want him getting hurt or getting into problems, and maybe just talking to him, just once, and letting him know that you're his friend, and so you don't want him ti get hurt,so he should be cautious or reconsider what he's doing. I mean, what more an you do? You can also not say anything. We can only control our own actions, no?

Also, general question --how do you end up firming a relationship (let alone catching feelings) for someone on a server? Just messaging them or ...? Because what servers are these?

Good luck anon

Oh believe me, this is the first time I've ever felt this way. Relationships do form online, although I've seen several of them end just this past year. About 3 out of 4, although they each lasted at least 1 year. I chalk it up to the pandemic, but some people actually spend most of their social lives online. I have many rl friends and make more at a consistent rate. Let's just say that it's possible to fall for people if you spend enough time together. This guy I have feelings for is kind of a homebody, though he knows how to talk when he wants. He's kind of strange, if I'm honest. The reason why I've thought about intervening is because I was hoping he'd meet someone irl, rather than be bated by some insincere, attention seeker. He's been hurt before by someone equally as terrible. So yeah, maybe he just reaps what he sews. That doesn't mean I enjoy seeing it.
