Question - (10 August 2007) 4 Answers - (Newest, 11 August 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Ok well. I have a friend (male) who I have known for quite a while and hes lovley, really sweet and stuff.

Anyway he has been saying to my friends that he likes me. I have seen the ovious signs too- sending hearts on msn, holding my hand, putting a zillion "x's" at the end of his texts. Hopefully you get my point.

So yeah he asked out his ex girlfriend about 10 days ago. She is a close friend of mine, and much as I love her she doesnt treat guys well. When she went out with him she dumped him for a older guy. They dumped that guy, then went out with him again the messed him around, got off with some one else, yeah that type (shes lovely though :P).

So she told me that she didnt like him but she didnt want to hurt his feelings. I also heard he was hurt as she hasnt replied to him. So he cant ask me out because shes leaving him in there if you know what I mean.

Then she told me she might just go out with him anyway, unless I wanted to. I told her that its not up to us its up to him and if she wants to go out with him then go for it.

Should I keep "flirting" with him? I mean I like him but he likes lots of people (hes so not a player though) and Im kinda confused what to do so I dont hurt anyone.

Sorry its so long! Thanks x

sexi agony auntHi, you should tell this guy how you feel. If your friend does not like him then nothing i holding you back from having a relationship with him. I would say go fo it. He deserves someone nice after what he has been through and you sound nice enough. Dont advise your friend to just go out with him if she odesnt like him - She is gonna hurt him.Tell him and see what happens.

Good Luck, mail me if you wanna talk

Typical high school dilema I went through exactly the same thing when I was your age (going back about 5 yrs now, i feel so old) Anyways back to you, my advice is to play it cool from experience mates tend to hang around a lot longer then boys ever will so don't get your mates back up by flirting outrageously. Instead be honest with her, she doesn't seem to really care whether or not she is dating this guy so just tell her how you feel and chances are she will back off and give things a chance to develop between you and this guy. Also have you ever told this guy you like him or have you just flirted coz blokes aren't all that bright and often don't pick up on things. Theres nothing wrong with a girl asking out a bloke just talk to your friend first.

Karlos Omnis agony auntThe trouble is here, I can tell your friend would make a big deal out of it if you asked this guy out, even though she's omitted that she has no feelings for him.

You have to judge whether seeing this guy, who could just be a flash in the pan is worth potentially losing your friend.

It happens far too often, best friend's date each others ex's/boyfriends, fall out over it, then three months later the boyfriend's gone and you're left with nothing.
