Question Posted Wednesday January 7 2004, 12:44 pm
Alright, my friend liked this guy and so did i. It all looked as if he liked my friend, but when she asked him out she found out he liked me... then he was being all a jerk to my friend... but she still likes him and can't stop liking him... ummm... then he asked her out cause i guess he realized he was being a jerk... she said i don't know... he said all suprised "You don't know!?!?"... then she talked it over with her other friend and she said no... she still likes him and now knows i like him... should I go out with him... my friend said to me the other day "Why would u want to go out with him if you saw him be such a jerk to me?" and i though about that and can't decide, and i'm afraid my friend will hate me if i do but i like him.
OneMan answered Wednesday January 7 2004, 5:48 pm: Hmmm, he asked your friend out because he "realized he was being a jerk"? Well, I'll let him keep telling that story and I'll let anyone who wants to beleiev it do so. The bottom line is, if he liked you, there would be no reason to ask her out. He could have very simply chose to end being a jerk because he knew the two of you are good friends, not ask her out on a date.
So....what should you do? Listen to your friend, she sounds like she's got a good handle on things. Don't let your feelings cloud your judgement. She may still like him, but she was smart enoughto turn down his offer to go out. You should do the same, leave him in the dust and let him find someone else to play with.

amy1980 answered Wednesday January 7 2004, 2:44 pm: I honestly would not go out with this guy. He sounds like a jerk. If he treated your friend badly, chances are he will treat you badly, too. Plus, you will feel guilty whenever you are around him and your friend at the same time, trust me, I know from experience. I say you both forget about him, because honestly your friendship is more important than this guy. Whenever the relationship with the guy ends, you will regret risking (or even losing) your friendship for him. Plus, if he likes three other girls and you two, he won't be faithful.

Some guys are players. What you really have to do is just get to know him a little bit better, introduce him to your friends and see how he treats them. Find out his inner personality and decide from there whether you want to go out with him or not. [ MichiruKaiou's advice column | Ask MichiruKaiou A Question ]
Whatever answered Wednesday January 7 2004, 1:24 pm: If he asked you out, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't go out with him...but if you're thinking of asking him out - forget it! Since you initiated the date it just shows that you're more interested in him than he is to you and there's a big chance that he'll be acting like a jerk towards you...but if he ask you out then it probably means that he likes you too and will most likely treat you with respect...I mean, why would a guy ask a girl out if he's not interested, right? As for your friend, if she is indeed a friend she would understand. Try explaining to her that you wanted to find out for yourself what he's really like.
