So me and my friend have been friends for over a year and we absolutely love each other, so this year there's this guy. Well call him skip so first my friend dates him, but only for a day because it was really awkward then they broke up a couple months later they start liking each other again and I'm really good friends with skip so we always talk and so my friend left for 2 weeks and in that time me and skip started liking each other so we were like w/e about my friend because she is known for Dating a lot of people and when she got back she was a little bad but bot bad because she met someone oN the trip she went on. Me and skip dated for a week and we were both really happy with each other buut idk what happened , I thin I found him too clingy or something really minor like that and I paniced and dumped him and a little whle after that I regretted doing it but he was reAlly hurt by it so I didn't tell any one. As time went on my friend forgot about that other guy and started liking skip again ( mean while I still regret dumping him but not telling anyon) and me and skip resovled things and are really good friends again. So skip asked my friend out and of course she said yes but while they were dating she cheated on him with one guy, which he found out about and after he found out she told me she would never do it again and I beliveed her but she did it twice MORE and he never did find out ( btw still regrtning dumping him stiiil) so this one guy that she cheated on skip with she started liking and a couple days ago she said she wants to dump skip and I was like are you sure ? And she said yea so I was like ok and she broke up with him yesterday and I texted him asking if he was ok and he said ya he doesn't care because she's different than he thought and we sorta talked about that then he asked me how my boy situation was going and I said not good and he's like why. And I'm like every guy I like doesn't like me and he's like that's not true ! I liked you and he listed people and I'm like ya I guess but I can never keep a relationship and he's like yA you can I liked you a lot but you just don't and I'm like ya that's the problem then I thought I HAVE TO tell him so I made him promise not to tell and he said that I'm his best fiend that is a girl so he would never tell so I told him and at first he didn't believe me and then when he did he said that it sucked when I broke up with him because he liked me quite bit and that it was unexpected ........... Was it right to tell him? And what if I like I'm now? I can't date him, my best friend just dated him for 3 months but what if I want to date him ? And in all what do I do about my whole situTion
masterclinic answered Thursday August 6 2009, 6:18 pm: If you want to date him then do it, your friend never cared about him. But before you do you might wanna think hard about what led you to breaking up with him, maybe even talk about it with him. You don't want that happening again. Good luck, hope everything works out [ masterclinic's advice column | Ask masterclinic A Question ]

Just tell her how you feel and ask her if it would be ok with her and If she says yes then go for it if she says no..well then you need to de IDE what's more important your friendship with her or this boy..

iwantthetruth answered Wednesday August 5 2009, 7:37 pm: Hey.
Yet again another question that I can relate to. A lot of you people on this website remind me of myself. Well anyways, I think that this situation is complicated but at the same time I think that it can be fixed to everyone's advantage :).
First off, I can completely relate to you and skip. This is like me and my boyfriend were. We were together and things were great, but then like with you, something went wrong...It took me a while to realize what went wrong. The problem was that I wasn't ready for the relationship. It came all of a sudden and I freaked out and broke up with him. After a while I regretted it just like you. I think you need to think about WHY you panicked. You said that maybe he was too clingy. I kind of thought that too at first but after a while you start appreciating someone more and more and the clingyness becomes someone caring about you and wanting to be with you.
He liked you a lot. He probably still does. After you broke up with him, he was obviously really hurt. And now, even though you've told him that you like him, he is probably afraid that you will hurt him again. I think that you were right to tell him how you feel. If you truly mean it then it's good that he knows so that he won't move on to someone else.
As for your friend, it's obvious she didn't really like him very much. She cheated on him who knows how many times and on top of that she broke up with him. I don't think that she will be angry with you if you try to be with skip again in the future.
Right now, I think it is in everyone's best interest that you stay single. There are a few reasons. The first is that your friend might get angry if you try to be him girlfriend right after they broke up and dated 3 months. Most friends would be angry. The second reason is that you need to ask yourself questions about what went wrong last time with skip and if you believe you can actually change this time around. If the "clingyness" is going to bother you a lot then maybe you should reconsider. But if you think that you can get over whatever happened in the past and do your best to make it work this time around, then that's great. And the last reason is that skip needs to probably think about it himself. Like I said before, it would make sense if he is scared of you hurting his feelings again. But it's good that he knows how you feel. Talk to him about maybe getting back together (if that's what you want) and saying that the two of you should maybe hang out some more in the meantime.
