Boyfriend


Question Posted Sunday December 19 2004, 2:12 pm

My best friend and I like the same guy. The thing is, he is dating my best friend. But she and he both know that he likes me also. He wants to be with both of us, but I don't want to hurt my best friend so I think I should back off. What should I do?? Thanks!

Additional info, added Sunday December 19 2004, 6:58 pm:
I forgot to mention, they've been dating for 9 months now, and every day it just hurts me more. This all started about 10 months ago and it is still going on..

definately back off! i think BOTH of you should back off! i mean, if he likes BOTH of you and wants BOTH of you, whats the point? you shouldn't let a guy ruin your friendship.. it's not worth it!

I'm very sorry babe, but since he's already with your best friend.. you're gunna have to let him go.. UNLESS you liked him before she did and SHE knew you liked him.. then that would be a different story.. but yeah.. if she liked him first.. then you've got to let them be.. i know how bad it will hurt because i was in the same exact situation well.. a little different because this girl wasn't my BEST friend and the guy was my boyfriend first.. then she stole him.. and in the end.. I got him back.. so yeah.. IM me if you need anymore adivce.

dancinqueen08 answered Monday December 20 2004, 3:58 pm:
I think you should move on. Truthfully, he should be able to pick between the two of you and you shouldn't have to share a guys affections. Both of you should forget about him, but at the very least you should find someone better. He can't have both of you and you can't allow him to think he can.

well talk to her... and make sure that she understands that her boyfriend likes you... and that you like him... if that is, you do... and tell her that you don't want this to breakup your friendship because friendship is a strong bond and you don't want a guy to get between your friendship... and tell her and this will also have to be your decision is... if you don't want me to go out with him then I won't

Hey, I have the same problem!! it drives me nuts!! I would just wait untill they break up. If he really really wants to go out with you then he will break up with your best friend

Reesespieces022 answered Sunday December 19 2004, 10:53 pm:
absolutely back off. regardless of his feelings towards you, your best friend is not only with him, but has been with him for 9 months. a guy who has been with a girl for 9 months and is saying he likes her best friend doesn't exactly sound like the greatest guy to date anyway. would he like your best friend if you were with him? listen, i know it hurts, but shes your best friend. a guy is not worth what you guys have. let her make up her mind about him, and try to be happy for her. after all, shes your best friend. hes just one guy.

xoxbellabebexox answered Sunday December 19 2004, 10:40 pm:
honestly i know this isnt what you want to hear but i think you both shouldnt bother with him. because i know i would never want a boyfriend who is likes some1 else. and i think you should convice your bestfriend to because you shouldnt break up a friendship over a guy i know that you think i really like him but is it worth it to know he doesnt like you the way you like him just ask yourelf that.
hope it works out

I think you should ditch the friend and the guy. Find someone new to hang with. Expand your horizons. Then if you feel that you still want him in your life, talk to your friend and tell her how you feel. See what she says...

icey0990 answered Sunday December 19 2004, 8:30 pm:
I think you should back off also. If both him and her know you like him..it can be a pretty awkward situation. Back away from it right now because A : He has a gf and B: shes your best friend. Maybe someone way down the line things will work out but dont wait on it. Dont let a guy get inbetween you.

Just wait. Don't lose a best friend for a guy. If he is supposed to be with her, you'll find someone else. If it doesn't work out, see if he is the guy for you. Hope I helped.

precious84 answered Sunday December 19 2004, 5:38 pm:
you are a good friend other girls would go with their bf's boyfriend. He is stupid and oviously he might make up a lie saying that you want to go out with him and your friend is going to get mad at you. Just tell your friend that you don't intend to go out with him. hopefully wshe will realize that he is bad boyfiend and leave him

xpianogirl89x answered Sunday December 19 2004, 5:32 pm:
Definitely back off... If they've been going out for a long time I would not try to mess things up especially if this is your best friends guy... you wouldn't want to lose a friendship over this would you? are you sure he likes both of you though? cause if that's true that's not good either... Maybe sit him down and talk to him (both you and your friend, but only if she wants to.) Nobody deserves to be lead on or used.

Hope I helped!

brokensmile78 answered Sunday December 19 2004, 5:12 pm:
the best thing to do is problly just to back off because then you will end up losing your best friend adn if he dumped your friend for you and you guys broke up then you would loose him to so backing off would be the best idea becuase you wouldnt want to lose two friends yeah that would not be good. ok i hope i helped

Shortie8959 answered Sunday December 19 2004, 4:41 pm:
You should probably just back off. And even if they break up, don't go out with him. The fact that he wants to go out with both of you means that he can't just focus on one person. Think about if you were your friend, and how she felt when he said that. She probably felt bad, because most of us want our man to think only about us. True, ain't it? Good luck!
Hope I helped!

ixjacquixi answered Sunday December 19 2004, 4:36 pm:
First off the back I think that the guy is a jerk. Even though he's not dating two girls at the same time he wants to date both of you. In the end this could come out to be some serious dramam with you and your best friend. I don't necessairly think you should back off, you can still like him, but maybe you don't want to shove it in her face that you still have feelings for the guy, because in the end that could hurt your friendship. The best advice comes in the end, is this guy worth losing your best friend in the end. Hope i helped :) if you have a question pop on in the inbox. *good luck* xoJacxo

xluvinux answered Sunday December 19 2004, 4:06 pm:
Yes, you should back off. Right now just give your best friend a chance to be with him. If they break up, give it some time. If your friend seems heart broken, don't go for him yet. She will feel betrayed and hurt. After awhile talk to your friend and see if she's okay if you go for this guy. Respect what she has to say. If she's alright with it, that's great then go on ahead. If she's not, that's okay. She'll need some time to grieve. Really don't go for him without your friend's consent because I know how much it hurts. My best friends went out with my ex and they didn't even see why I was down. Your being a really good friend right now and I think she will appreciate it. =)

Ok..first of all..i think that.that guy is a JERK..you cant be with 2 girls at once..thats just wrong.i wouldnt necessarly say back off.i mean they might break up sooner or later.so stick around.and DONT go out with him within the week that they break up.that will cause drama between you and your bestfriend.
