Question Posted Saturday November 12 2005, 9:57 pm
alright, so me and two of my friends have this problem, and we've all decided that I should ask here for advice...
The whole story is pretty long, but I'll tell the shortish version. All names have been changed.
I like this guy named Bob. I found out a few nights ago that my friend Pat likes Bob, too. And then I found out that my friend Dory likes him too (me and Pat and Dory are basically best friends). I talked to Bob about the whole situation, since we're friends. And, I found out that he sort of likes Pat. I talked to Pat about the whole thing, and she said that she's not sure if she would go out with him, because she would feel guilty, and the rest of us, me and Dory, would feel sad and/or pissed off at her, and I said that I would feel the same if I was in that sitation. Also, Bob said that he doesn't want to hurt anyone.
So... what should we do? In short, me and two of my friend like the same guy, and he kinda likes one of us.

hope it works out for all of you! ♥ [ snickerzz11's advice column | Ask snickerzz11 A Question ]

Friends should be there for each other and be supportive of one another. I'm not going to tell you what to do but whatever you decide, make sure all your friends are happy with that decision! :)
Hope you make the right one!

BreatheALittle answered Saturday November 12 2005, 11:00 pm: I don't know. Can you and Dory handle it if Pat goes out with this guy she ends up hitting it off with this guy? Would you guys be able to keep any feelings that you may have in check for the benefit of your friend? That is the real question that needs to be asked and answered. If yes then it no prob and Pat should go out with this guy and which is even better have the blessing of her two good friends that this guy is cool. If the answer is no then can you guys handle it if you a) keep Pat from a guy she is interested in or b) risk your friendship over a guy.
In short you guys have some questions to ask each other before Pat goes out with him. He may not be worth your friendship or you and Dory may be able to stand by your friend and her man. Think about it before decisions are made. [ BreatheALittle's advice column | Ask BreatheALittle A Question ]
