Ok so ive really liked a female friend of mine for a while now (im 18/m), but shes had a boyfriend for about the past 6 months, and ive all but given up on pursuing her. she has a friend thats pretty cute and seems really nice that im thinking of asking out at some point down the line but heres the thing, im worried it might destroy what litle chance i have with my friend if her and her bf ever break up. so onto my question in readers digest form, do girls have a problem with dating a guy thats dated one of their best friends?

Yeah, girls get a little jealous if they like you and then you go out with their best friend. She has a boyfriend still, right...? Then hopefully there would be nothing to worry about if she's content with her current boyfriend! But there's one problem with your situation. You should go out with someone for love, noy about how cute the other person is. If you love your friend very much, then wait a little while. Don't give up because of another guy unless you grow not to love this girl anymore. You could try to make her jealous, but who knows where it could end up... Hope I helped! If you need any further help, just ask! Later! [ SongOfUnspoken's advice column | Ask SongOfUnspoken A Question ]
orphans answered Saturday May 7 2005, 7:51 pm: oh of course it'd piss her off man. you gotta remember chicks like to act like shit doesn't get to them when really it sends em over the deep end. girls are tricky, but they're not hard to figure out. if you like the one with the boyfriend go for that one. just talk to her a lot, and point out flaws in her boyfriend, then slowly move in on her. it's not hard to get people to break up with each other, it's just strategic.

VanityScore answered Saturday May 7 2005, 9:08 am: Usually... yes. But it depends really on how much either of the best friends like the guy, and how bad the break up is. And some people are just more laid-back about that then others. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.
And don't count your chickens before they hatch. Her best friend might say no to you. Or, if she does say yes (or even no), you could end up liking the best friend instead.
In my own opinion (though it's naive), you should only date people that you like. That's the only kind of dating I really find worthwhile, though I know there are tons of people who would argue that.. [ VanityScore's advice column | Ask VanityScore A Question ]
karenR answered Saturday May 7 2005, 1:58 am: I don't know why they would have. If you dump the friend just to date her THAT may cause a problem. If you date the friend (and don't fall for her) you will know ahead of times when things are looking shakey between your friend and her current flame. If you think a break up is coming then stop dating her friend so a little time will pass before you ask your friend out. Of course you might just fall for her friend and then the problem will be solved. Hey, stranger things have happened! Good luck. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
darkblair771 answered Friday May 6 2005, 10:53 pm: sometimes, but mostly girls do have a problem like me and my best friend we made a promis we would never date eachothers ex boyfriend unless we asked. which no matter what they'll feel uncomfortable. maybe you shouldn't ask your friends friend out. they might have made that same promise me and my friend have.

Evikins answered Friday May 6 2005, 9:28 pm: lol ... i think it depends on the gurl's personality. Personally, i wouldn't care as long as the guy and the gurl don't make out or kiss in my presence. Now then i'll hate the guy, but not the gurl. Lolz .. . Generally, i think Gurls do have a problem with that. But then like I said, it depends on their personlaity and how close the bestfriend's been with the guy. When you really think about it, its like a competition. Some Gurls ARE competitious. So thats that.
Hope It helps,
