One of my good friends is dating this guy, Erik, that I liked for 2 years, but she never new it. And so they been dating for 7 months, and Ive been a bit down latly. He just recently broken up with her, And he said he did it cause he wanted to go out with me cause he heard I liked him. But I don't wanna hurt my friend, beacause she's really down, and crying and all. I feel really bad, but on the other hand I really wanna go out with him. What should I do?
LilMia811 answered Monday September 13 2004, 8:00 pm: Dont do it. If you do, you will surely ruin your friendship. I'm sure it will be hard to do it,since you really like him and all, but, trust me, its not worth it. you need to be there for your friend, she probbaly really needs you right now.

Mercy_x_Me answered Monday September 13 2004, 7:06 pm: be there for your friend at the time being, wait things out. When shes over things and healed and met other guys ask her how she would feel if you went out with this guy, and see what she says. From there its more of a thing that you have to decide because you know your best friend and how she reacts... good luck darlin!
BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Monday September 13 2004, 6:46 pm: Well, since you've liked him for 2 years! Thats crazy! then don't just ignore him! I think you should talk to your friend and stuff. Wait til she is kind of over him, like the whole crying and being down and stuff. Because friends are more important than guys. But, just try talking to her just be like "I know you've been down lately, and so have I.. I just want to tell you that I've liked him for 2 years, I just never said anything to him or you. And now that you two are broken up, I want to go out with him, but I don't want to do anything before talking to you and stuff..." And just go from there and just talk to her about it all and stuff. Hope this helps and good luck hun! If you need anything else, just post a message in my inbox.
AskMegan answered Monday September 13 2004, 6:42 pm: Well....you shouldn't go out with him. That would totattly disrespect your friend and make her feel like crap. She'll think you planned it.
united_python_cheerleader answered Monday September 13 2004, 6:41 pm: Love your name , anyways go out with him you might hit it off and plus if she cant see that try to make her see that you like him alot and you dont want to hurt her in any type of way and most of all if she gets mad friends come and go and she wasnt a good friend
Dreams1370 answered Monday September 13 2004, 6:39 pm: I think its worng that this guy broke up with your friend because of you but it wasn't your fault it was his desion. I think you should see if its ok with your friend because a guy shouldn't come between you and your friend its not worth it. Its all up to you.

russianspy1234 answered Monday September 13 2004, 6:31 pm: i would say stay away from him. if he dumped your friend because he "heard you liked him" means he doenst get attached to the girls he dates. he'll dump you as soon as some one hotter comes along and youll have a broken heart, and your friend will hate you.

EmbracedxRain answered Monday September 13 2004, 6:31 pm: Well I'd say talk to you're friend about ti and find out how she would feel if you two were together. If she is uncomfortable with it, I wouldn't take the chance unless you are okay with ruining a relationship with your friend. Chances are you are not. But if she doesn't seem to uncomfortable with the thought, and you've liked him for so long I'd say go for it.. Of course, as long as you think its really worth it.. especially since your friend is so hurt right now. Or maybe if you don't think you should go for it right now, talk to the guy and see how he would feel about waiting a bit. Hope it helps. * Amber * [ EmbracedxRain's advice column | Ask EmbracedxRain A Question ]
Toxicxoxo answered Monday September 13 2004, 6:30 pm: ask her for permission. tell your friend how you have felt for the past 2 years. if she is a good enough friend, she will understand. if you dont feel comfortable asking her... then wait till she is way over him and then get together with him. hope i helped.

tinkerbell answered Monday September 13 2004, 6:30 pm: Wow, that's a tough one. I would say wait a while. Then talk to your friend first. Think about it. Which means more to you ... you're friendship or your crush? If they're equal at least consider her feelings first before you head right into it. Good luck. *Kacie* [ tinkerbell's advice column | Ask tinkerbell A Question ]
