well you should tell her all that...shes getting way out of hand...she should give you a chance to have somebody instead of totally spoiling it for you...thats really mean...she seems greedy...but anyways...talk to her and tell her how you feel...if she is a good friend she will understand and calm down

Well obviously this guy doesn't like her so if she asks him out he will probably say something like It won't work out. And anyways why would your friend do this to you? Well I don't think that that's very nice of her to do. And you cannot help it if you like this guy, she shouldn't mind if you like him because they aren't even dating anymore.

your friend most likely is still having feelings about her old boyfriend. She's being extremely selfish if you ask me, considering they broke up and she had a completely new boyfriend. You were right in telling her before though because if you hadn't there probably would have been even more problems. Tell her that she can have her space, and tell her that you like him, and ask her what rules she wants for this.. if you establish them then it can't happen again, with you on the other side.

It was good that you told her about you liking him, because that IS being a good friend. If she does get back w/ him, then she isn't a very good friend, because SHE had broken up w/ the first guy in the first place! If he dosen't like her at all then don't worry about them getting back together! Because they won't if he has no feelings 4 her!

**GOOD LUCK**

Okay you totally did the rite thing by tellin your friend that you liked her ex! she needed to know..and if she got mad at you for that then she isnt a true friend just because no one can tell you who to like and who not to like! and if she broke up with her boyfriend just to go back out with her ex just to get you mad then that is so rude and she isnt a true friend!

Go straight to her and say, "how can you just get mad at me like this? I didn't know it would hurt you to date him, but thats all you had to say, I never knew you weren't over him, so why couldn't you just say you weren't? You had a new guy and I thought it would be ok, but if you had said that you didn't feel comfortable with me dating him, I wouldn't have done it, you know that." Now, this has to be calm coming from you, because at least it shows some remorse that you want her back into your life, but just assure her that you didn't mean to hurt her by asking and that you just wanted her permission.

Berri answered Sunday March 6 2005, 3:55 pm:
Yeah stuff like that happens a lot. It sucks. What your friend is doing isn't cool at all. She needs to realize that she broke up with her old boyfriend, so he's not hers anymore. He's up for grabs for anyone, even you. All that stuff about not dating a friend's ex is stupid. You can't help who you start falling for.

When you told her that you like her ex, it made her realize that she either still has feelings for him, or she hasn't let go of having "control" over him, ya' know?

Maybe what you should do if you want to stay friends with this girl is just give it a little time before you go after her ex. Breakups can be hard, and maybe her new boyfriend was just a rebound sort of thing. You said her ex boyfriend doesn't like her anymore at all, so maybe she'll eventually realize that she's not getting back together with him, and she'll move on and get over him and not care if you end up dating him.

Just tell her that you were only trying to see if she was okay with you liking him, and that you see that she's apparently not okay with it. Just hold back a little bit from the guy and see what happens.

Slap her and tell her that its not your problem that her ex moved on and that he likes you and not her. Slap her again and tell her to stop feeling sorry for herself...slap her AGAIN...and for an added effect...sleep with her most recent ex...just for kicks.
Have Fun.

Friends don't date other friend'd exs. I have never dated anyone one of my friends have dated. I am not saying this works for everybody but it's worked for us. Depending on how close you and this girl are it's a choice you have to make. If you consider her one of your best friends there's no point in risking your frienship for some guy. Boys will come and go but your friends your true friends will always be around! Good luck. Follow your heart.

savorystillborns answered Sunday March 6 2005, 2:54 pm:
She was probably doing that to get his attention after they broke bc she prob still liked him and the thought that he didn't like her back drove her nutz, now she's just acting out of jealosuy to get him back, so she's no real friend really; go out with the guy b4 she can! HURRY!

You two shouldn't let a guy come in between a friendship! Just promise her that you won't try to get with this guy if she promises to not to get with him as well.
