There's this guy I met, a friend of some friends. And I really like him. I know he likes me, he's told me. And I think we're going to make a go of it. But I've got one doubt - he's also made it clear from the beginning that he likes another friend of mine. They've known each other for years, and she says to me that she isn't interested in him and that I should go for him. He's liked her for longer than me though - but he said he liked me the minute he met me. Which is a big plus, because he's liked her for so long and nothings happened but he meets me and after 6 weeks we're as close as he is with her. Should I go for him? I'm just a bit worried that he'll still have like this unrequited love for her (OTT, but you get me) even if he's with me.

1) You can take the chance and just home that he doesn't end up cheating on you with your friend and hope he falls for you more.
2) You can wait it out until he completely falls in love for you and you know it will last.
It all depends on the type of person you are and how willing you are to take chances. If I was in this position I owuld probably go for it and if he seemed to still be tlaking bout my friends and stuff after 1 to 2 weeks I would dump him.
Hope I Helped

If in 6 weeks you two can be just as close as he is with her after years of knowing eachother, then I'm sure if you two started dating he might even stop liking her completely!
You'll never really know unless you take a shot at it, and I doubt you want to sit there always be wondering "what if, what if" to yourself.
Just be a great girlfriend and show him what he'd be missing if he sat there and liked your other friend the whole entire time. I'm sure he'll be too busy focusing all his time on you anyways.
If he does end up continuing to like her, you can always just end the realtionship, and at least be relieved you now know what would've happened if you kept a relationship with him and then you also learned that if this situation were to ever reoccur, you'll know what the results would be.
