I have a friend that I met through work three years ago and she is about 5-6 years older than me. We only worked together for about half a year but have still kept in touch and remained close. She is more like a big sister to me. She went through a break up recently with an NVM (he ended it after 4 years of his nonsense).

She is the one who pushed me to date my current boyfriend when I had met him because she could see that he was a genuinely good guy and treated me well. I have been dating him for around 6 months now.

Last week, she asked for my boyfriends number and if she could text him about some career related questions (since I have mentioned before that he is very much career oriented and loves discussing that stuff). Even tho they hadn’t met, I didn’t mind at all and gave her his number. I love when my friends get along with my boyfriend. He was also happy to help.

He met her for the first time yesterday when we decided to have dinner together. It was a good night and she had texted him after recommending him a movie to watch. I felt kind of weird about it but shrugged it off since they did both connect at dinner over the kinds of movies they watch. He thanked her and told her about a movie he and I just watched that was good too.

This morning he showed me that she texted him thanking him for paying for dinner and that it was nice to meet him. The text that bothered me a little was her saying to him “we had a lot in common”. He didn’t have much desire to continue the conversation with her and simply responded “it was nice meeting you too! Looking forward to when all three of us can hang out again.”

I realize as I type this that it’s probably a non issue and I just sound paranoid. I am just assuming she’s being friendly and that this is a one off moment. Is this normal for friends to text your significant other like this?
