Since you "saw him first" I think you should at least try to be friends with him...as soon as you get comfortable enough with him, tell him how you feel, and he'll be open about his feelings to you. At this point, if he says no, don't be crushed. At least you are still friends with him right?
sugarmeltsinrain answered Wednesday May 4 2005, 6:41 pm: Well, since you havn't talked to him in a year, you should probably not get all upset that your friend is now friends with him and has feelings for him. I think that you have every right to try to get his attention, but don't stab your friend in the back about it. You don't have to go ALL OUT and flirt majorly or talk bad about your friend to the guy, but you should gradually become friends with him again and if things turn into something more, than great! You also might want to try and tell your friend about your feelings for the guy. She may think it ridiculous considering you havn't seen/talked to him in a year, but who knows..the least she could do is not talk about him and her's relationship around you, ya know?

laurentaylor927 answered Wednesday May 4 2005, 5:40 pm: ok well since you knew him first then you should have the first say on it, but since you havent seen him in a year then you may want to re-get to know him because he may have changed since then.. so really just follow what you feel is right!

sOsexable answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 9:20 pm: hey!!...well i think you should talk to your friend first and see how she reacts about it..and if she doesnt like it then just wait..on the other hand you could talk to him and tell him how you feel and find out how he feels about you..if he likes you..then you can tell your friend that and she should respect that that is who he likes..if not then shes not a true friend..hope i could help!
