Should I let her go with the other guy or should I hold on for longer?
Question Posted Wednesday September 3 2008, 12:48 am
I am a 15 year old guy and I have been friends with a girl for about two years now. I have always liked her and she has always liked me. We recently started getting closer to eachother. We have even been kissing and stuff like that. I think that I might love her. But, now that we have started school again, she has been telling me that she likes this other guy. I have known this guy ever since I was in the sixth grade. I know he likes her as well. So naturally I care about his feelings and I would feel bad if this girl and I started dating. Should I just let him have her and try to find someone as good as she is (Which probably won't happen), or should I just ask her out and not care about the other guy? I really like this girl and I just kind of feel like she might like him more than she likes me. What should I do?

Find out who she likes more and if it is him stand back and wait till they are broken up. than tell her how you feel. this is giving her what she wants the most, but since you are her friend it will sometimes turn out more than likely that you could steal her away from him without trying. The way of the world.

2. Don't be mean to the guy, just play it cool like you've always have at least until you find out what is wrong with your friend.
3. Find out if he knows about your relationship step-up with your friend. If he does, then you know the guy isn't truthful.

Tell her you know that the other guy likes her.
Tell her you like her as well.
Let HER make that choice. Because it is hers to make, as long as she's aware of her options.
Be sure that you discuss your friendship. It doesn't always happen, but often times, dating friends is not a good idea.
1- Nasty break-up? Bye-bye friendship.
2- Decide better off as friends? One of you may be still ga-ga over the other, and jealous over every person the other dates. That puts a wrinkle in your friendship.
So be sure that you both go talk about the pros and cons together before you decide to date one another.
But let the choice be hers, ok? She's got a mind to make such decisions with. ;-)
