I have this friend and I really like him, but my best friend likes him too. I just met him yesterday and my best friends has known him for awhile. I really like him and she does too. I asked him if he liked her and he said no, but he told other people before he met me that he liked her. Idk what to do! I'm so lost and I want to be happy for my friend but me happy too! I think I should get over it and let her have him since she's known him longer. But what do I do?

Mercy_x_Me answered Tuesday August 3 2004, 4:39 pm: Ok.. its totally not your fault you like him. Just dont be mean to your friend about it! Dont have fights over it.. and you should definetly confront her and explain you know shes known him longer you just cant help your feelings. And if you truly LIKE him... you wont be able to give him up all that easily.. my take is that you should talk to him alot, and hang out with him. Dont be secretive if your friend asks if you've been hanging out tell her you have. And if he does for some reason like her... dont throw a fit. Wait your turn... or stay good friends with him. Even if a close friendship with him comes out of this, you will still benefit. If he likes you, hes your for the taking. Explain to your friend that you cant stop your feelings but you dont ever want that to reck your relationship.
Derfel answered Tuesday August 3 2004, 3:55 pm: Hi sister in distress,
I would agree with you, stay clear. Its not worth risking a friendship over. Wait and see what happens between the two of them. It maybe nothing and then the way will be clear for you but if something does happen you'll know you made the wise choice to hang back.
Buy for now

laurengotback015 answered Tuesday August 3 2004, 3:42 pm: Well, I really think you should talk it over with your friend and discuss your feelings with her. If she tells you to go for it then you should, but if she really likes him too, then you need to decide if this guy is worth loosing y'alls friendship over. If you really think it is then go for. If not, wait and see what happens. If things don't work out with them then maybe then you could jump in, but until then I'd just be happy for her.

o023babygurl230o answered Tuesday August 3 2004, 3:27 pm: you cant help who you like. It just kind of happens. So talk to him more get to know him better since you just met him and see if you eventually share the same feelings. If he does like your friend thought you need to respect that and let them be.

Hey!I went thru this so many times! Well he known her first.It's not like "i called dibs on this stud"*lol* But like your "friends" will alwayz be therre & bois come N go. Your just being a good friend, talk it out with her, communication can solve a lot.Get to kno him, cuz u juss met him, N let things ttake place from there, but gettin to kno someone doesn't hurt! I think the "stud" might have a thing for you since he said he didn't like your "friend", but don't jump to conclusion, talk it out!!!!therre's times that fighting for a guy isn't bad. There's this guy, he's my ex. but like we Best friends now, we still have chemistry. But like same thing wit me is like u, i did fought for him...N my friend got ova it. cuz she found another guy! but juss COMMUNICATE!!! I hope i helped.

HollyAnn2282 answered Tuesday August 3 2004, 3:17 pm: I think that your bestfriend should get a chance with him if he likes her, sometimes guys lie and say they dont like people when they do. But shes known him longer... And you hardly know him... how can you really like someone that you've only known for a day? Get to know him better before you jump into things. talk to your friend and tell her how you feel about this guy. See what her opinion and feelings are... Just remember Guys come and go but friends always stay. Dont lose your friend over some guy you hardly know! Best of luck... -holly-...Hope i helped [ HollyAnn2282's advice column | Ask HollyAnn2282 A Question ]
