I actually sort of did this once. My friend started dating my fiancee with my blessing (well I didn't offer him up, they both asked me). I said that it was ok. They actually got married. I don't hang out much with them since I moved away from home, but they have 2 kids. So as long as she truly doesn't mind, it could be wonderful. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

Talk to her, sit down with her, and ask her if shes totally serious. if she isnt as much as you want, dont date him. if she really thinks that should happen, then you should date him. this really lies with you and ur friend.
lildesidevil143 answered Thursday December 16 2004, 1:52 pm: well, I think that you should go ahead and date him. But make sure it's completely ok with ur friend. And maybe she just wants you to date him so she knows how he's doing.And take it this way that maybe she's helping you get a good bf!
hope this helps!

Don't start a relationship just because someone else thinks you should. And even if you did decide to date him, how would you even see eachother, you can't even drive. I'd say forget about it.

zapreth answered Thursday December 16 2004, 1:45 pm: OK, the rule when I was your age was, no going after your bestfriend's ex, unless you have approval. This is usually because emotions are hard to handle at that age and relationships never seem to end... Everyone is still up one another's butt in school. I think you should go on a date with him. If your friend acts any differently toward you afterward, talk to her. Decide then if you want to continue dating the guy or not. Don't throw away what she's offering you and him. It is healthy that she has gotten over him enough to see the two of you would be compatible. Go for it! Luck and Love! [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]
