go with a friend and potentially upset another friend?
Question Posted Sunday April 23 2006, 11:32 pm
Ok, this is a pretty unique situation, I doubt someone's been in it before, but here we go:
my friends G (a boy) and K (a girl) are friends from college, who I hang out with occasionally and we always hang out in between classes and stuff because we all have the same major. So we are not best friends, but we are pretty good friends.
well, G and K had a thing for each other... they have been very good friends for about a year and a half, and officially dated for about a week... lol although they acted like a couple the whole time they've known each other (minus the physical stuff). The reason they didn't actually date is because G (the guy) changed his mind and decided to keep the friendship. Well since then, things are a little weird between them... they still talk and hang out, but there is tension at times.
Well, this summer G is going to the beach with his family and has invited me to go with him (just as friends of course). He isn't inviting K even though he is better friends with her, because things are akward between them like I said. We are just concerned that K will be hurt or mad at me if I go to the beach with him. She knows we are just good friends, but usually when we hang out, it's all 3 of us. what do you think? Should I ask her about it and see how she feels? Or should I just not go at all? How should I ask her anyway?
G has already said she doesn't care how she reacts because they have a "messed up relationship anyway" so he said it's all up to me and how I feel about it. I'm 20/f by the way! thanks!! :)

Regardless of whether or not you talk to her about it first. She's probably still carrying a torch for G, the guy that broke her heart, and when she finds out about this, she'll know she shouldn't be upset, that she doesn't really have a right to be upset, but she will be. She'll be jealous and she'll feel left out. If you don't care about any of that, then I say go. Have an absolute blast. [ ShadeMartin's advice column | Ask ShadeMartin A Question ]
