i have this best friend i've been bestfriends with for a while now.
lets say a year or two?
i always feel so bad because she calls herself the ugly duckling.
she's pretty, and guys are really into her.
but for some reason (please dont think this is conceited sounding..)
whenever me and her are together, the guy ends up being into me and not her.
she gets so upset and has creid on my shoulder about it and told me how jealous she is of me.
it's flattering, sure.
but it hurts to see her like this.
now.. the guy she likes.. lets call him "bob."
bob and her have had a thing for a little,
nothing serious though, they never even kissed,
it was just a mutual liking eachother thing.
but now bob texted me and tells me he likes me.
i don't know what to do.
he said he wants to hook up with me and stuff,
but i would do that to my best friend.
he said if she doesnt find out, it really cant hurt her.
i cant even tell her that bob likes me, because i dont wanna hurt her.
when she gets upset about those things she takes it out on me and it makes me cry.
i don't know what to do.
hook up with him or not?
i'm starting to like the guy but that just makes metters worse.
what do i do!?

I mean come on you say you hate to see her like that you would probably feel really guilty about it afterwards and then your friend would find out and then it would be a whole mess and then you probably wouldnt even see the guy again. so in my opion one hook up isnt worth all the dumb drama. But i mean if he is the love of your life go for it! =] [ IThasJUSTbegun's advice column | Ask IThasJUSTbegun A Question ]

hope i helped :] [ Lynn_lushh's advice column | Ask Lynn_lushh A Question ]
