StrawB3rryz answered Sunday March 11 2007, 8:33 pm: Well, that is pretty rude. I don't mean to offend you or your friend, you guys probably been through a lot and are really close but doing that to you when she already knows that you like that guy is pretty selfish. If she is your best friend, that is even worst- doesn't she understand that friends are more important than guys? However, it can't be helped that people can fall for the same person. If she had told you before about her liking the same guy- it could be understandable but if she didn't and just went behind you and is now going after him- that is pretty rude. If you really treasure your relationship with her or want to keep your relationship, talk with her. Tell her how you feel and question her. It is best to solve things, guys don't stay forever, it isn't worth it to lost a best friend for something that isn't permante. [ StrawB3rryz's advice column | Ask StrawB3rryz A Question ]

Razhie answered Sunday March 11 2007, 12:05 pm: Honestly, I find the whole idea that a guy is off limits because your friend has a crush on him to be quite high-schoolish. I would never in a million years mess around with a friend's boyfriend, but crushes have to go two-ways for anything to come of them. So if they like each other, that is great. That means the two of them can move past the 'crush' phase into something more. If nothing more was happening between you and him, I think the mature thing to do would be shrug your shoulders and be happy for her.
She shouldn't be going behind your back though. It's much healthier for people to be upfront about these things. Talk to her calmly about it and get the real story. She is your friend after all. You might be a bit hurt, but she hasn't betrayed you in any way. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
