There's a guy that I've liked for awhile... ever since like 7th grade actually, and I'm a junior now. Well, since we've been in high school, he and I have gotten closer, mostly because we're in the same group of friends now because his friend asked me out last year but we broke up after three months (it was a happy ending though :)) So I'm curious, would it be a bad thing for me to try and start something with the guy I like because he's so close with my ex?

Perhaps you'll need to talk to him about it either before dating his friend, or maybe just to clarify things once the two of you are already together if he seems to be acting strange. He really doesn't have much of a right to be upset about it though, unless there are still feelings. [ jenniferleigh's advice column | Ask jenniferleigh A Question ]
