A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Do you think its silly if you dont want to get into something with someone that not only admits they are a commitment phobe, but also that has always liked someone you both know, but she doesn't like him in that way? Would you feel 2nd best? And would you think its a wise move being their bit of fun? Or is that being silly?

Personally I would feel second best. But if she dont have feelings for him she dont have feelings for him its as simple as that!

He needs to realise that before he gets into any other relationship.

Nobody in a relationship should be made feel second best.

Best Wishes,

Please don't. Speaking as a woman whose husband is usually second best to her, it has driven him bonkers every now and then.

Teacake agony auntWhy would you want to be with a man who fancies someone else? If you are hoping that he will end up wanting you instead, chances are that won't happen. Why settle for second when all that will bring is drama and pain?

Tell him if things don't work out with him and the other, should he change his mind about you, to give a call. But that you are certainly going to wait around either.

katatonik agony auntAre you ready to try a relationship with someone who has different priorities (that are unlikely to change) knowing every time that you and he do anything he will be wishing he was with her and possibly even imagining that he IS with her?

If you can say yes to that, then by all means...date this guy and get your heart broken.
