A boy asked me out and I really fancy him but he only just dumped another girl. Should I say yes or will it be offensive towards the girl he just dumped?

Dear Is It,

I was in a situation almost identical to the one that you are in.I started to fancy one of my best friend's ex-boyfriend.She was sort of hurt and didn't speak to me for three days.

My advice to you is to just give this girl some time.She's probably still hurting from the break-up,and broken hearts can take long amounts of time to mend.Talk it over with her.

Best wishes,

Sarah

Rebecca Batchelor agony auntThis all depends on what she may still feel for him and what their relationship was like, how long they were together.

There really should be some time in between relationships before forging ahead with another one as this gives the person time to reevaluate and consider what went wrong so it doesn't happen again.

However, you sound as if you could be young and when young, relationships aren't necessarily serious and meaningful and are just preparation for the 'real' thing when it comes along. It is a time for having fun as opposed to committment and discovering what you really want out of life and a partner.

You could ask her how she would feel if you went out with him but if you really do want to go out with him, would you allow her feelings to sway you anyway?

She may feel a bit put out but again it depends on the nature of their relationship.

You could try asking him how she would feel and that way you could also glean how mature he is when he answers.

Try talking to him and telling him that you are a bit concerned about this other girl but that you do really like him. See what he says.

At the end of the day, if you do really like him, go out with him but have fun and only get serious when you know what the score is and where you stand.

Good luck.
