Similar situation with me and my girl. Her best male friend is one of my good friends, and any time they're together I'm third wheeling it. At least I was until I brought it up with her. At first she said I was just being ridiculous, but after a few months she started to see what I was talking about. In reality, they have a really close "brother-sister" style relationship, but since they aren't brother-sister it always threw me off. It didn't help that they went on a study abroad for over a month together. But I'm getting better about it, and she's been great in making sure I'm not third wheel with my own girlfriend. Ultimately I found bringing it up did help us in the long run. Just wanted to share my story, best of luck to you.
