I'm 15 and I plan to ask this guy named Gus that I really like to go see a movie or something so we can pursue a relationship, but I know for a fact that another girl likes this guy and she's known him for three years and never had the courage to ask him out and I've only known him for a few months. I think that he likes me though and only views her as a little sister type person. If he says yes I'd feel so guilty about doing this to her but I'll end up feeling that way if Gus starts dating someone else because I waited too long. So should I go ahead and ask Gus out and just let the girl move on or do I just stay friends with him?

When it comes to relationships, if the individual is not married, dating, in a committed relationship with someone, then they are currently available. It wouldn't matter if a dozen girls liked him but never asked him out, the only girl, he is going to get to know is the one who asks him.
High school boys have little or no relationship skills, or self confidence at first but they can improve. Most girls are not going to want to wait a long time for a guy to finally be ready to ask first. Girls already have some relating skills as far as friendships with other girls and can teach the guy a thing or two. The most successful relationship you will have with a guy is the one who can become like a best friend to you, like one of your female friends, but the added benefit of attraction and romance is there and that's what you're looking for. Not every person you try dating will work out, but thats what dating is for to find out more things about each other. The personalities could be too different, lack of attraction after the initial excitement of new relationship wears off and thats good reason to end and move on. It doesnt mean you failed if you arent a good match and break up. You fail if you end up staying together when you have nothing in common and no attraction. If the two of you don't end up working out, thats okay. Maybe then he will feel bold enough to ask the other girl who's secretly liked him.She may not turn out either, then again she might. There is no 'one type fits all' when it comes to relationships. The perfect date partner is going to vary as much as everyones unique personalities. This doesn't mean that there is only one perfect girl for Gus, he may come across a handful in his life but the one he dates is going to be the one who asks him.
