A female age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Ok here's what went down. I like this boy. But he dated a friend of mine. He only went out with her because he wanted to see if there's was chemistry...and there wasn't. So he dumped her. Now I want to ask him out, but my friend still likes him, and they only went out for a few days, and they didn't even have any contact(he ignored her). And me and my friend aren't even good friends, but I still care about her feelings. But, I really like this guy. And they've tried it,and failed. And I can tell that me and him are kinda feeling something (mostly because his friends told me that he likes me).

But what should I do? Is it my turn or not? Help!

My best friend started dating my boyfriend 10 minutes after we broke up. I know can't trust her with anything and I will never look at her the same way. Your young don't throw away a good friendship just because he seems like a great guy now. Like someone said before me. Boys come and go but friends are forever.

Goodluck and Stay a Virgin

Miguel-Montana agony aunttricky situation here. you better pray that your friend isnt stubborn and doesnt want to listen to you. first thing to do is tell her whats going on. tell her that u have feelings for the guy but u dont want to hurt her feelings at the same time. now ur frend has to choose between ur frendship or the guy that doesnt evn like her. knowing girls the way they r she'll choose the guy simply because girls dont think logically and rather think with ther feelings. but if she does approve of this then ur clear for the guy but what ever you do dont friggin show it off cuz no matter how weak the feelings r she still has feelings and it may bother her/make her want to cry/make her angry/ etc...

Dazed~Confused agony auntBoys come and go, but friends are forever.

So, you need to ask yourself if you are willing to possibly lose your friend over a guy? What if there is no chemistry between you and him? If you go ahead with this, you may end up with no guy and no friend.

Also, how would you feel if you were in your friend's shoes. I don't think anyone should tell you whom to date, and it doesn't seem as if your friend has done this. However, we should always be ruled by our conscience. What does your conscience tell you? Does this feel right to you?

If the answer is yes, and you are prepared for the possibility of losing a friend, then go for it.

DiamondGirlx agony auntOkay ive actually been with my friend ex before and she wasnt happy at all about however she had forgiven me after a period of time and now we are still best friends like we were before.

Tell her that u like him and check what reaction you get, as long as ur honest with her swhe'll most probably be cool about it,

and its her EX so its not like ur doing anything wrong so go for it!!

but remember good friends are forever guys come and go so if u think hes the type to date u and then maybe another friend then stay well away if he's cool then url be fine

anyways best of luck with ur decision :) D.Gx
