Uh.. This was unexpected


Question Posted Saturday December 23 2006, 8:51 pm

Okay, I told you guys how I had this thing for one of my friends. Well, one of my other friends, Laura, who lives down the street from me, tells me today while I'm talking to her on Instant Messenger that she likes me. So I'm over at my house freaking out because I was trying to plan out what I was gonna say to Ashley, the girl I like.
So I tell Laura that I sorta like her a little.
And I could tell she was struggling with her words. This is what we both said:

Laura:Okay... would you ever consider going out?
me: with who?
me: you?
Laura: yes
me: i guess so.. Why?
me: well, that was awkward..
laura: Uh... Meredith
me: uh, meredith what?
Laura: Meredith's helping me with what to say, but, would you go out with me?
Laura: (Sorry, clicked enter too soon..)
me: omg.. I.. I guess.

So, did I do the right thing?
I mean, Laura's been my best friend for a long long LONG time, and our moms are friends, too. I didn't want to make her mad at me, so I said yes. I really do like her, but I'm just not sure if I like her enough to go out with her.
So I have been going out with her for about an hour now. It's 8:50 here in Georgia, so you do the math.

I just want to know if I did the right thing or if I should break up with her and go for Ashley?

Think about who you like most. If its Laura then stick with her but if you don't like her enough to go out with then I say you tell her that but you still want to be friends. If you like Ashley more then go for her. You don't have to stick with Laura because she likes you. Just go for who you like most.

if you don't feel like you want to be with her, then break up with her because its unfair on her if you dont want to be with her. Just let her know that you do like her but you dont want to ruin the friendship you to have. Im sure she'l understand and if she relly likes you then she'l be happy that you can still be friends. Hope i could help and good luck :)

Don't date Laura for the sake of not wanting her to be mad at you.
It's not your fault if she's not the girl for you.
If you think you've made a mistake, you need to end it as soon as possible before she gets hurt. It gets harder as time passes by, so don't let it carry on that long.
As for Ashley, sadly, we cannot decide for you!
Does Ashley have feelings for you? Would you be happier overall if you were dating Ashley?
You said yourself you do like Laura.
If I were you, I would give it a few days and see if you feel the same. If you question it still and long for Ashley, end it. But if you don't try with Laura, you may never know if any good can come of it.
Good luck and hope you do the right decision.

heres the thing, is that you can't just lead her on. It would be easier if you were just honest. If you really do like her, then go out with her and have a good time, if you don't, or if you think you like Ashley more, then you need to be honest. If you aren't honest now, things will get really bad later. Especially if you want to keep her friendship.
Good luck!

When Laura realizes that you don't really care for her like you do for Ashley, her feelings are going to be hurt. It's not fair for either of you to be in a relationship where the love isn't mutual. Explain kindly to Laura that you really like her as a friend, but not in a way that makes you want to go out with her. Then, give it some time (for Laura's sake) and go after Ashley =]
