Well there's a boy-we're both on the same tennis team. We're friends, we've never hung out outside of tennis, mainly because he dated my old bestfriend as a freshman, then again a couple of months ago *sophmore year*. By "old bestfriend" I mean we were BeSt friends in middle school but high school came along and we grew apart. I'll sit with her at lunch and comment on her xanga but that's as far as it goes now-a-days. Recently, these two broke up *again* and it was his fault. He started acting wierd or something like that. The problem is, I really like this kid! Since like 8th grade. Before him and her went out my friends told me to 'go for it' but of course I didn't but now after this break-up i don't know if i should. I didn't 'go for it' i think because i was kind of scared? It would've been my first boyfriend..Not to mention we're on the same tennis team. I'd really appreciate advice on if i should 'go for it'. Should I wait? Drop it? Help!

I understand she's not one of your close buddies, but at this age no man is worth killing ties with an ex-best friend. Out of respect for your past alliance, talk to her and see if she's ok with it. Besides, what if you were in her shoes, how would you feel? Have some considerationand talk to her before making your move, perhaps she'll give you some inside scoop to this guy and you may not even want him after knowing more about him. Good luck!

Especially because your on the team together, you`ll have a lot of more time together. If he likes you, he`ll eventually bring it up, and if he does, i say you "go for it" because, its not like you two are best friends. And obviously if he likes you, hes over her .. and that not ur fault lol [ M0STD3SiiR3D's advice column | Ask M0STD3SiiR3D A Question ]
