I Have A Best Friend Of The Opposite Gender

I've known my best friend for 6 years, and recently he started dating someone. They've been dating for nearly 3 months now. In the 6 years I've known him, this is the longest relationship he's been in. I was away at college, so I didn't get to meet his girlfriend until last week. I have social anxiety, and I ended up having an anxiety attack when I was in the car when we were on the way to pick her up. We had to make a pit stop, and my friend and I were alone in the car during my attack. I was able to calm down, but the anxiety kept coming and going for a few more hours after that. I wasn't able to spend much time talking to my friend's girlfriend because of this, but at least I could talk to her enough to see that she's actually a really nice girl, just as my friend had told me. I'm glad to see how much happier my friend has been since he started dating her.
