A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have liked this one guy forever and a few months ago he started going out with my best friend even though he liked and still likes me. He has been calling me alot lately and we are talking about an hour everyday. It has become very obvious that he likes me and I'm starting to really fall for him. Only problem is he is still going out with my best friend and she is in love with him. Any ideas on what to do? And don't say stop talking to ohim because I've tried and it just dosent end up working.

Maybe he is confused and doesn't know how perfect you 2 r together. Maybe he thinks he likes her more but one it will hit him that your the one. The same thing is happening to me. A lot of my friends are telling me to ask him to break up with her for me 'cus they think im better 4 him than her, and i make him happy. Do wat your heart wants but dnt make bad decisions

^^^^^

after waiting it out, maybe she will fall out of love with him (it may take time, but it probably wont last THAT long...) and maybe after a while, ask ur friend if its okay that u give him a shot,

Its worth it to give up a boy that u love (maybe not for That much longer) than for a friendship thats may last forever.

Think of it this way, wud ur best friend do the same for you? ( I kno mine would)

So heres the thing, we both will just try to wait it out. and see wat happens... only time will tell.

=) I hope this helped.. because this definetly is helping me by writing this.

this is kind of happening to me...

i like this guy, he's really down to earth and has a great sense of humour, and until this year i started really liking him, even tho ive known him for forever (we just hated eachother the other years, but now we're really great friends)

anyway, he's been going out with my best friend for more than a year(which is ALOT for my school, since ppl dont go out for like more than a month) and they're in love! The only thing is that he's been flirting with me alot and we get along GREAT (we have similar personalities) and my best friends sees it in front of her , she just thinks wer just really close friends (only to me its more than that) ive tried not talkin to him, but he just keeps talking to me. It doesnt work or help to stop talking to him, we're great friends, it wud be wierd to just stop talking to a regular girlfriend wouldnt it? well its basiaclly the same thing.

Since we're in similar situations, best friends come first, because they last longer, and ther wayyyyyyy more valuable than a a guy that you love. i mean think about it, (not to make u feel guilty, becus its the same thing with me also) don't you love your best friend? only not in THAT way? well if one love lasts longer than the other, and one is way more likely to last longer than the other, than its better to take the 'risk' in making sure that your best friend is happy.

As hard as it is, you just need you wait it out.

bubbloo24 agony auntFriends always come first in my rule book.

I think you need to stop answering the calls and stay away from this guy. Nothing good can come out of this.

If you're a best friend to her you will do what's right and tell him to stop calling you or you will tell you mate coz it's bang out of order from him and I think you should look inside yourself and ask "My best mate - who'll be there for me whatever I do, or a taken man?"

I know what answer I would pick.

I know it's probably not the answer you wanna hear, but you have to do this for the sake of your friendship. You don't want to split up over a man do you????

I know you say "I can't stop talkin to him" but I think if you are that much of a best mate you will realise that this is the only way. If you carry on, what does that say about your best mate's trust in you? What does it say about your friendship? If it was the other way round, how would you take it?

I'm sorry hun, but I think this is the only way. If he'll ring you all the time when he's with someone, if you get with him what's to say he won't do the same to you?

Take care.xxx

penta agony auntHow would you feel if you were the one he was dating and your friend was the one who started going after him? Not very nice, is it.

If he cheats with you, he'll cheat on you. Do NOT date him until he's clear of your friend, or you will really regret it.
