I would worry if she wasn't in a relationship. At least you arent hiding it from her. Thats always a good thing. I would just talk to her about even if you already have just to really make sure that she wont be mad over this and that she wont let this come between your guys' friendship. 'd say if alyssa is truly okay with it, then don't worry about it, just don't constantly talk about bein with him and that stuff around alyssa.. and make sure she's truly okay with you being with him Happy holidays kristi- (please rate) trixx [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]

If your friend starts acting funny about it, just talk to her. Explain the situation. If she's a true friend, she'll understand. Hope I helped! Happy Holidays!

If you two were to get in a serious relationship maybe you should talk more about it with her. Drill it into her head that you want a serious relationship with him. If you don't have a talk with her and you just suddenly go out with him, things could get ugly. Well, good luck!!
maria3654 answered Friday December 24 2004, 12:03 am: well you can go out with him no matter what alyssa says but if you wanna be her great friend again you could ask her over and over to tell what the truth about what she thinks. if she says yea than go for him.but you shouldnt go wth him if she still really likes him. glad to help!please rate [ maria3654's advice column | Ask maria3654 A Question ]
TiCkLeD_pInK540 answered Thursday December 23 2004, 11:31 pm: If you want to go out with him, i say go for it! Just not imediatly because it makes you look desperate. I think maybe a week after you get back to school from christmas break would be a good time to go out with him. As far as hanging out with him, i see no problem. If you still feel like you're betraying her, ask her to come along with her current boyfriend along with a few friends to clear your conscience. That way it really isn't like a date and you can decide from the way your friend acts if she's really ok with it. I hope i've been as helpful as possible! Happy Holidays and good luck!
Always,

cutebrunette answered Thursday December 23 2004, 11:24 pm: I think you should go for it. If she cheated on him she must not like him like that. And she said it was ok so i think you should.
icey0990 answered Thursday December 23 2004, 11:15 pm: I wouldnt call it betrayel...but maybe your friend is so caught up in this guy and shes trying to get over him too fast. Maybe thats why she keeps saying "its ok its ok." One day seriously talk to her and tell her that you like this guy and you wanna hang out more etc..ask her how she feels. Tell her to be completely honest and if she doesnt feel comfortable you`ll back off. But if she says "its ok" when you have this serious talk with her..then my opinion is that you should keep getting to know him. I mean, its not like you didnt care and hooked up with him right? So i think iif you talk with her and shes alright..then go for it.

xluvinux answered Thursday December 23 2004, 11:01 pm: Well just to make sure, ask Alyssa one more time if it's really ok if you do that. If she still gives you a yes, go ahead. She's busy with Tai right now so it looks like she's not worried about Ryan right now. Eveything should be fine, unless Alyssa gets upset when you hang out with Ryan. Then that would be the time to talk it over with her and Ryan. You would need to settle everything so everyone is happy with what's going on. It sounds like Alyssa doesn't mind though, so give Ryan a chance. Your being a good friend for not trying to hurt her, and I think that's really nice of you. =)
