Q: My best friend has a new boyfriend, and when I met him for the first time, they couldn't keep their hands off each other. It was just the three of us at dinner, and I wanted to sink through the floor. How do I handle this in the future?

A: "The next time you're with your friend alone, let her know that as happy as you are that she's found a new boyfriend, the PDA makes you feel uncomfortable. If this doesn't work, then I would suggest that you invite another friend to make it a foursome, so you don't feel like a third wheel."
Lisa Caputo, chairman and CEO of Citi’s Women & Co.

"If she's really your best friend, then you should absolutely be able to say to them, 'Um, hello, young lovers; you’re grossing me out.'"
Faith Salie, host of public radio's Fair Game from PRI with Faith Salie podcast
