I didn’t think I’d ever post here but I’m kind of in a bind…
So in the last month or so, two of my friends started seeing each other / dating which is great and I’m very happy for them since they get along really well, have known each other for a long time, and it works really well etc etc. I just feel like I’ve become kind of an afterthought and big third wheel when we hang out.
The one friend that used to make plans with me / was good at responding to texts and such after discussing hanging out or follow up texts when she can’t now doesn’t. Now I’m always the first to text or try to make plans and it feels like I want to hang out with the one friend more than they want to hang out with me.
How should I approach them about this without coming off as rude or not considerate of the fact that they are dating and so of course they want to spend time together?

Give them more time. You wont be able to get through all the crazy hormones of that early part of a relationship. Focus on other things for a few more weeks, and then try your invites again. It takes at least 6 weeks for the crazy hormones to ease up. They are still your friends. Do other stuff for a while.
