At the school dance the other night, i danced with one of my good friends who i found out liked me..and he's going to ask me out. I like him a lot as a friend and i think that I would like to give dating him a shot. Trouble is, my best friend really likes him. He doesn't like her in that way, and my best friend is a great friend to me and everybody else...now people are telling me that i shouldn't have danced with him because it was a mean thing to do to my best friend.What do i do about this whole situation?
jessicasylvia answered Saturday December 4 2004, 8:15 pm: That is not mean. Your friend may be mad but she shouldn't be. She can't make him like her because he likes her. This has happened to me before. You should tell her your sorry but you've been crushing on him for a long time and he likes you back so this may work, tell her all you need her to do is support you and wish you the best of luck. Hope I Helped.

Okay firstly no one can condemn you for dancing with anyone, lets see- he probabley asked you so that would mean something as well. Maybe so your friend is okay with it talk to her about it- put your friendship above this thing. If she is totally not okay with it then don't do it, but if she's fine then go for it. Its' best to stick to friends more then boyfriends just because they will be there long afterwards.
Also speak to the guy a bit, tell him you like him but maybe now isn't a good time. I'm sure he'll understand and wait

Striker6909 answered Saturday December 4 2004, 12:27 am: well you can't change the past... so, you should maybe try putting a word in for your best friend maybe hinting on that she likes the guy or w/e and you know maybe you shouldn't date your friend because if you do then if you screw up you'll end up screwing up your relationship... so yeah..

ICE11BLUE answered Friday December 3 2004, 11:53 pm: The people that are telling you that you shouldn't have danced with him are just feeling bad for your friend, don't take offense. But you should really just do what you want UNLESS your friend has literally been obsessing over this person and is actually finding a way for him to notice her and things like that; yeah, that would be a little mean to steal him in front of her face like that. That happened to me before and I didn't like it too much. I was very mad at my "so-called" friend even though I hid my anger. Anyways, think of your friend first, how much she really likes him and stuff and base your decision on that. If he asks you out and you shouldn't go out with him just tell him that you're content right now and are not looking for a guy, or unless you think of something better to say, I recommend saying the truth. Hope I helped and good luck! [ ICE11BLUE's advice column | Ask ICE11BLUE A Question ]

FunnyCide answered Friday December 3 2004, 11:35 pm: ask your best friend if shes mad at you cause you danced with this boy, apologize if she is. ask her if she would be upset with you if you went out with this boy; if she honestly says that it wouldnt matter, go for it! but if she says that she would be upset, then simply explain to the guy that you have a very close relationship with your best friend and that you are afraid that it will hurt your relationship with her if you go out with him, so you cant.

dancinqueen08 answered Friday December 3 2004, 11:33 pm: Since you didn't know that he liked you and it was an innocent dance, you really are't at fault. You should talk to your friend about dating the guy though because you don't want to hurt her. If you talk everything out with her and explain to the guy that you like him but so does one of your friends and it would be difficult, then everything could work out. It all depends on how your friend feels. [ dancinqueen08's advice column | Ask dancinqueen08 A Question ]
