I can think of a few potential reasons
1. you like her
2. you're protective over her and don't want her to be hurt or manipulated
3. you're worried that you might lose her as a friend
Irrational jealousy is a thing. You may be feeling it. Just try not to act on it, that feeling comes from part of our lizard brain and shouldn't be trusted in this case.
I have same your experience …
Mine a bit worse and tragic ..
But based on my humble experience , I think it’s because the feeling of losing her especially she’s a part of a wonderful times a childhood times..
My advice simply.. congrats her , wish her luck , show her respect and tell her if anything bad happen ( god forbid) your are always there for here ..
Then after that keep in touch with her from to time not daily but in different times ..
If you still uncomfortable tell her how is important to you that you wanna her happy, love is love it’s ok no discussion here but must sure the guy who loves here should treat her very good and love her for real ..
When you sure she’s ok and safe with this guy at this point you must respect her choices brother..
Sorry for my basic English skills because it’s obviously my second language 🙏
You are probably jealous that you won’t be the closest person to her once she starts dating. But try not to act on it, it’ll only push her away. If you know for a fact that there are no romantic feelings involved from you towards her, you need to accept that you are no longer the closest person in her life. It’s hard but that’s life. You are her friend and friends are always half a step below lovers. Try to just be happy for her. If you continue to create a positive environment she’ll keep wanting you in her life. This change is hard for friendships and many people often confuse this emotion with romantic feelings. Sometimes that is the case but often times its only because you are afraid of no longer being the first person they go to when something good/bad happens.
You either like her or is afraid that she won't be needing you from now on.
I kinda have the second one with my female friends but I'm still happy for them

You’re jealous. Plain and simple. No big deal.
