My friend && I like the same guy. He just happens to have feelings for me. I really want to get together with him but wouldn't that be betraying my best friend? What should I do?

I hope i helped

If your the one he likes, not dating him isn't going to make him date your friend. I think if he wants a date, you should go out with him. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
lildiamyn_69 answered Thursday June 30 2005, 6:30 pm: these situations can be tricky sometimes. i usually wouldn't recommend leaving your friend over a guy, but maybe you two can work this out. I'm glad you're concerned about her feelings.
you have to talk to her about this. if he has feelings for just you, then she may get jealous. it wouldnt exactly be betraying her, since he doesnt belong to her, but she likes him, and since he doesn't like her, that can run into some major problems.
talk to her, and ask her if it would be okay if you and the boy were together or something. if she says its okay, make sure shes telling the truth. let her know that you would never choose a guy over her or hurt her feelings over one.
All in all, if you don't want to go through all of this, you could just wait for the next guy! But this experience should show both of you where you stand when it comes to liking the same guy. Hope this helps! <3 [ lildiamyn_69's advice column | Ask lildiamyn_69 A Question ]
HyperactiveMiss answered Thursday June 30 2005, 5:21 pm: Well, you have to ask yourself one question. Who is more important? Your friend, or a crush? Personally, I think you should pick your friend. Because friends are much more valuable than a crush. However, I'll let you decide.
Either way, I think you should definitely talk to your friend.
If you want to go ahead and ask out your crush, first thing's first:
First of all, ask her how she feels if you went out with him. And tell her to tell the TRUTH or else the entire conversation will be pointless.
Tell her you really like him and you know she feels the same, but he's starting to have feelings for you. Ask her if she's comfortable with it. If she's not comfortable with it, I definitely would just let the crush go. If she's comfortable with it (Though she might be lying for you) you could try things out with the guy, but if she shows any signs of sadness you might want to take a break. Whatever you do, don't go out with the guy until you tell your friend.
If you want to let this crush go:
Tell her you think that both of you should just let him go because one crush shouldn't come between the two of you. If she's a good friend, she'll understand and agree with you.
