I like this guy, and we get along great, but me and his best friend just do not get along! I want to eventually date him, but i'm afraid that his friends may influence him otherwise... what should I do?

Vikki27 answered Tuesday March 7 2006, 4:22 pm: I still think you should try to go out with this guy you like. Generally people can be strongly influenced by their best friend but in my opinion there should be a certain point where that should stop. If he likes you and wants to date you then he shouldn't let the opinion of any friend make him think otherwise. If he is that easily influenced, you may be better off without him.
However,why do you and his best friend not get along? Perhaps if you know why this is or can work out why it is then you can try to resolve the issue. I know that isn't always possible but if you really like this boy then it's probably worth a try. See if you can find some common ground and stick to it.

Me && my boyfriend had a similar problem but we didn`t let that get between us..
Ignore anything this friend might say && maybe talk to this guy you like about it..

Try your best to get along with him. If this guy doesn't want to date you because of his friends move on. If he does want to date you and his friends influence him otherwise ask him and talk things out with him. All guys and girls get jealous when they friend is being taken away by the boyfriend or girlfriend. Hope this helps!
karenR answered Saturday March 4 2006, 8:23 pm: His friend might be jealous if he thinks you may take time from him and the guy you like. Your girlfriends may feel the same way at times if you should date your guy.
If the guy you like is friends with him, he must have some good points. People seem to hang out with those who are like them in a lot of ways. Find his good points and try your best to get along with him. You could be right, he may not date you if his friend bad mouths you.
You may want to ask your guy why his friend doesn't try and get along with you more. Maybe he will say something to him. That would be a big help.
