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)?

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.

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. [ Skentelbery9's advice column | Ask Skentelbery9 A Question ]
