I'll try to make this short and simple. I dated this guy (adam) over a year ago, it didnt work out. The other night I went bowling with some friends and he was there with his best friend (kyle). it was awkawrd, and kyle and I never really talked even when I dated adam, but he wanted to help me talk to adam so we could atleast be freinds. I got home that night and I talked to kyle online. We found out we have ALOT in common, and we already know alot about eachother , and eacothers relationships. So we talked ALL night till 4 am, and found out we had a connecton. so Kyle asked adam how he would feel if he (kyle) and I would date,, Adam got furious and said he wouldnt talk to kyle nemore. So we are torn between, dating and hiding it from him and seeing if it works out and then tel him. or not dating because kyle could lose his best friend hes had forever.. So i dunt know what We should do.. ne suggestions?

The general rule of thumb is that you never date friends ex-boyfriends and you never date friends of your ex-boyfriend. However, I always believe that if there is the possibility for something truly special, there are circumstances where that rule may be broken.
That being said, I don't think that going behind Adam's back is a good idea. After all, if he has already shut the door on the idea, how do you think he would feel if he then found out from someone else that his best friend not only went against his wishes but betrayed him further by going behind his back? There really is no question mark over this side of the matter. If you choose to date, Adam has to be the first person you tell.
You and Kyle need to get to know each other a little better before he decides whether to risk his friendship. A connection may have already been established but is it stronger than his friendship connection with Adam?
I would strongly recommend that you go by Adam's wishes for now. Don't date yet. Spend some more time talking, as friends only and see how strong your feelings for each other are. If you end up feeling that you couldn't breathe another day without each other (or something less dramatic but still very strong), then you need to tell him that you both deserve the chance to see if this could really be something. If it's just a crush then you'll soon know about it, before Kyle risks losing his best friend. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

if things didnt work out with him, tell him just that, theres no reason he has any say in what guy you date. [ DefinedEyes's advice column | Ask DefinedEyes A Question ]
