Question Posted Saturday December 11 2004, 4:38 pm
I really like this guy, and he just happens to be my best friend. I know everyone says that if you go out with one of your good friends, it will ruin the friendship. Well I don't believe that because I think all good relationships are based on a previous friendship. Well anyways- one of my really close girl friends is the one he likes, and I don't want him to ask her out, but I think he's going to because that's what he told me. I know I'm really good friends with her, but I just find it hard to support her in this situation. It's not that I want him to not ask her out and ask me out, but I would rather him not go out with anyone because I'm afraid he'll act different around me if he's going out with someone because normally we always flirt and stuff. Can anybody tell me how I'm supposed to tell him that and be honest with him without him getting mad at me or thinking I'm wrong to say that?

Farren answered Sunday December 12 2004, 2:59 pm: You can't tell him that without him getting mad at you or thinking you're wrong to say that, because you would be wrong to say that. They like each other, you should step aside and let what happens happen. If you really care about your friends and think they have a chance of having a good relationship, you shouldn't say anything, because really, would your friend not go out with her because you said so? And if he wouldn't because you didn't want him to, would you be able to face your female friend?
Anyway, hope I helped.

If she doesnt know you should tell her so she doesnt. You should tell the guy that you really like him and you hope somebody you guys could be together.

Well the friendship thign is good. Its good to know someone before liking them and going out with them. It makes your relationship (if you end up a coupple) a whole lot better! So its usually a good thing to be good friends before. Anyway, all you can do is be honest AND be his friend. A suggestion: write him a note and tell him that you have feelings for him. That you wanted him to know you care more about him than he thought you did. Tell him to consider it and if he still would rather be with the other girl then you will respect his wishes and be his friend. Its uaully hard to do these things... writing letters. But the best thing for you regardless of if he feels the same way or not is telling him how YOu feel. ...Maybe he doesnt feel the same way... but if he ever does... you'll know. Maybe he does feel the same way... he'll tell you. If he doesnt you'll move on quicker and you'll have confidence in telling guys what you want. No matter what he decided if you really do care about him as a friend you'll be his friend.
I do hope he likes you back. I wish you happiness. ~Blessed Be... [ Cath's advice column | Ask Cath A Question ]

If I were you, I wouldn't wait any longer before they get closer, and I would tell him this, "Listen I really got to talk to you... You are such a close friend to me, i think you're great..and I'm really happy for you and __[the girlz name], but there's just something I need to tell you.. I feel like I shouldn't because its really bad timing with you and so and so, but I can't really keep it in any longer.. I like you.. Not as in like friends, but more than friends.. I dont expect anything at all in return, I just need you to know how I feel..and that I hope nothing will change between us when you and so and so get together..." and then just take it from there
