Question Posted Wednesday January 18 2006, 11:28 pm

Okay. The guy I like likes me AND my best friend. My best friend also likes him. Me and this guy had practically gone out in the summer and we were very close, so you can probably understand why I'm still hanging on to him. We're very good friends. And, everyone that I talk to says we'd make such a good couple and we're meant to be. But, my question is, should I still be hanging onto him, or let my best friend have him (even if it does mean I'll be hurt)?

I understand that you like this guy and based on what you said he likes you too, but the fact that he also likes your best friend is a big no no. The question you should be asking yourself is if you are willing to lose your best friend over a guy. I think you and your best friend need talk. The best thing may be for neither of you to have him because if one of you starts to date him, someone will end up hurt. Good Luck with the situation ;)

well does this guy like your best friend at all???..i mean if i was in your situation and if he liked my friend and me i would let me friend be with him...but thats me...but if he doesnt really like her then talk to her about being with him...ask her how she would feel if you went out with him and if it would be ok..i know guys shouldnt be getting inbetween friendships..but guys are guys and friends usually have the same or similiar tastes..so it will happen..
hope i helped you out..

Try to come to a mutual agreement with your friend that you won't let a guy get between the both of you. Although the old saying "all's fair in love and war" certainly applies in most cases, one thing to keep in mind is that it's arguably easier to find a guy than to form a lasting friendship based on mutual trust and understanding with another individual.

Having said that, if you want to rid yourself of the no doubt difficult task of having to choose between your personal interests and those of your friend, I would suggest that you let this guy make the decision. If he has told you that he likes both you and your friend don't you think that it's only fair that HE should be the one mulling over what to do? Making this into a competition between you and your friend will only serve to stroke this guy's ego (i.e. "wow! two girls fighting over me!") Let him do the work. If it turns out that he's indecisive, it's probably an indication that he'll be unable to fully commit his attentions to either of you, a case which will lead to all sorts of headaches and needless drama.

God i hate it when your friend likes the same guy as you.I would talk this out with your friend,if one of you goes out with him,your bound to get jealous of one another and get into a fight.I would maybe ask the boy to see which one of you he would rather go out with,maybe like one night he goes out with you then the next night your friend and he then decides which one he likes better and then he can be with that girl.Im basically just rambling on about this but lol.But it could also matter who ever gets him first you know ? im sorry its like midnight im like half awake im soo sorry,i hope i could help you out,and maybe one of my opitions was useful.Just dont fight with your best friend over a boy its stupid, remember friends are whatever boys are whatever ; ] jsut be happy for her if she gets him,and hopefully she will do the same for you if you get him.

To be perfectly honest I want you to read a book at your library about survival of the fittest. It's a little thing that has gotten us through for thousands of years. The ability to get a mate has been the real challenge for every species on the planet forever. Now, if your friend has no intention of making a move, then he's yours. If your friend has an intention of making a move, and oyu get him first, then he's yours. If your friend gets him first, and you find a way to derail them and get him, he's yours.
