I REALLY NEED YOUR ADVICE!!
my name is laurie. im 16 yrs old...i like this guy (we'll call him bob)..well..he asked me to go on a date and i said yes. but then i found out that night that my best friend likes him to, and she didnt really know i liked him..so she thinks she 'claimed' him first. so i was a good friend and canceled the date b/c i didnt want to ruin my friendship with her. well turns out my best friend goes on a date with bob..and she acts like it was no big deal..and plus she ditched me that night and yada yada..well i was mad that she ditched me. but i was acceptable to the fact that she went on this date..and she acted like it was no big deal. well turns out bob didnt like the date, and was way more intrested in me. and i like him SO much, and he tells me he wants to be with me...and the more i talk to him the more i want to be with him. i think its only fair though that i can have my chance with him since my best friend got hers you know?..but i dont want to do anything i regret! i really really want to be with this guy and he says he wants to be with me to..
i would really appreciate your honest advice.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! <33
it was really noble of you to let your best friend (shall we call her A?) date bob first, especially since you like him so much. this shows that you really treasure the friendship between you and A.
it seems that things between bob and A didn't turn out so well. i agree that since A has had her chance, you should get yours too. however, you might want to take her feelings into consideration. it appears that A has strong feelings for bob too. so, perhaps you can get bob to gently break the news to her that he doesnt want to be with her.
as for you getting together with bob, i suggest that you guys give A some time to calm down and get over it before dating, because since you and A are so close, it could affect her greatly. when A is over it, then you and bob can be together. as for now, why not get to know each other as friends first? you'll understand each other more and then you can decide whether you really want to be with him or not.
whatever you decide, if your friendship with A is strong enough, i'm sure it will withstand whatever challenges you have. my best wishes to you. :)
