ARii1433 answered Sunday August 7 2005, 5:05 pm: talk to your friend [the guy you like] about your best friend. ask him if he really still likes her, because you like him a lot and you don't want her to get hurt. then, talk to your best friend about it. tell her you like him very, very much, and you don't want to hurt her but you want to know if, should he ask you out and you said yes, she would be okay w/ the two of you dating. if she says no, remember, friends should come first, no matter how much you like this guy. before you and the boy do anything more than being friends, have him talk to her about everything, so she understands your feelings for each other. if she doesn't give the two of you her "blessings", maybe you should rethink your relationship w/ the boy AND her. you shouldn't have to decide between the two of them. tell them that no matter what happens you are going to remain friends with them both. good luck!!!

CarlOfTheMountain answered Sunday August 7 2005, 4:47 pm: Allright, let me get this straight; you're starting to like your friend and he's starting to have the same feelings for you. You're friend thinks he likes her completely and is upset because she thinks that one of your friends is tryin to get close to Dan. But you know she isn't because she has a boyfriend. You're angry because she doesn't know what's going on and upset because you don't know what she'' say about you and Dan. Dan's friend likes you and you love him to death for being there for you also.
Ok, you and Dan like each other and he's not so sure he has feelings for you're friend anymore. Ashley doesn't know what's going on. You shouldn't let a guy destroy your friendship. I'm not sure how you feel about Dan's friend, but he'd probably understand. You might could explain things to your friend and his, shed some light on this mess. If a disagreement over a guy can tear you and your friend apart, then it seems you have reached a parting of the ways. You're at a crossroads, just try and make the best choice for yourself.

the situation sounds teribly complicated and sounds as if its going to explode pretty soon, a pretty HUGE fuckup.
sounds like dan is confused. the best thing for him would be to lie low for a while, start a zen garden and first sort himself out, else he is going to hurt people and himself, he needs a friend not a gf.
your best friend sounds insecure, i'd say she'll need to sort herself out too, she well on her way to getting hurt, i knew a person that acts the way you described her, hope she will but i don't think shes going to listen to reason.
I was in a situation...errr...in ways simular to this one and...errr...DO NOT TRY TO FIX IT, getting caught up in the middle of this will only get you blamed in the end.
you can only tell your friends how you see it. chances are great they won't like what you have say. after that take a step back, go out meet new people, let it hit the fan and help your friends pick up the pieces afterwards (if they will allow you).
