My friend goes to a differnt school than me. She introduced this kid to me (hes 12) and now I'm beginning to liek him. I know he likes me too, because my friend asked him and he said yes, and he also told me. Like, it would work out great with us, except for one thing, my friend. She used to go out with him and he dumped her a little while ago. But she still likes him..a LOT. He knows that she likes him, but he doesnt like her. The girl that introduced us (that I have been talkign about the whole time, that likes him also) is mad at him for liking me, and mad at me for liking him. She really doesn't want me to like him, but it's hard NOT to..you know what I mean?? Well it's really confusing and I don't know what to do. What if he asks me out? I like him a lot too, but I don't want to lose my friend. Please help me?
Additional info, added Monday October 18 2004, 3:37 pm: tonight he told me that he liked me and i told him i like him too..im worried about what my friends going to say when i tell her. :\
NEXT DAY: I told my friend that I don't want her to be mad at me but I like [the kids name]. She got all mad and was like "Your my friend. Friends don't do that to friends" and then she signed off. I really don't want to lose her as a friend and I told her [before she signed off] that I can't help who I like, it's nothing you can control. That was when she signed off. And I want to tell her when she comes on that I'm not going to go out with him or anything because I want her to be my friend, and I don't want her to be mad at me. I can't control it but I can control who I go out with, so I'm deciding not to go out with him. It's really confusing...I just dont know how to tell the kid I like........????.

You should go out with him.. If she's ur freind she'll understand but if she doesn't at first she will later.. just do what you think is right
advice_now_2334 answered Sunday October 17 2004, 10:48 pm: all i can say is u put ur girls before boys ...or maybe you shuld just give her time to get over him and when she doesn like him anymore then go for it. but my best advicce for you is...DO NOT GO OUT WITH HIM NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LIKE HIM.. thats just wrong to take ur firends ex b/f..

mindteaser answered Sunday October 17 2004, 6:16 pm: This may sould mean because you guys are young but you need to let your friend know (in the nicest way you can) that she cant make someone like her and she can't get mad at who you like and who likes you. She needs to realize that neither one of you can control the fact that you two like each other. On the other hand if this is really hurting your friend and you really care for her then maybe you should respect her feelings and leave him alone.

--Nikki-- answered Sunday October 17 2004, 5:40 pm: If ya like him then ya shouldnt let ur friend stop u...Sure she may get mad but if shes a true friend she wont stay mad forever...I had the same problem but I just talked to my friend N told her how I felt bout the guy...So my advice would be just to talk to her bout this...
icklechanikins answered Sunday October 17 2004, 5:36 pm: Well, since I'm pretty sure you shouldn't even worry about a relationship when you're 12, because it's not like you're going to marry him or anything. Well, you might, but I highly doubt it. Talk to your friend about it. Or, wait until he asks you out. It won't be the end of the world if he doesn't, but you should always pick friends over a guy. You can live with this guy being your friend, right? And, also, your friend should not hold on to a guy for so long. You're young. You have your whole life ahead of you. Live from your mistakes.

Mercy_x_Me answered Sunday October 17 2004, 4:41 pm: ok well your friend needs to get over it. Even if you said no to going out with him then you'd be unhappy and she still would be because he obviously doesnt like her. So what you BOTH need to be miserable?? I dont think so. Your frined introduced you two and you rele like eachother and thats that. Plus she needs to see that relationships at your age dont last forever...you guys arent gunna get married....your just gunna date a little. Your not tied onto eachother forever....maybe her chance will come back someday but in the meantime you gotta take yours.
RaZzLeDaZzLe2011 answered Sunday October 17 2004, 4:38 pm: the same thing happened to me except me and my friend go to the same school and we liked a guy at our school. she can't be mad at you for liking him. tell her that you are sorry that you both like the same guy but its not fair of her to be mad at u because u like him! if she gets mad at you then she might not be worthy of your friendship. if you really don't want to get in a fight with her then maybe you should just kind of try not to flirt with him or talk to him that much (i know thats really sad :-( ) and try to talk to other guys at your school. if i were you i would just go for it. but it is totally up to u. consider the consequences of what you are going to do, and i hope i helped! let me know what happens, my email address is razzledazzle8272@yahoo.com
xoMarisox answered Sunday October 17 2004, 4:29 pm: This happened to me to. You need to tell your friend that you really like him too. I mean the world doesn't revolve around her. You need to talk to her about it, face to face, just you to. SHe needs to understand your feelings also. If he asks you out say yes. Why should you have to say no all becasue your freind wants you to, that's like saying you can't breathe because your friend doesn't want you to. Go for it. Hope I helped. Rate me please.
